Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
Gr. 10 and up. The text is dry and rather formal, despite a salting of personal experiences and quotes, but this is a nicely comprehensive book for pregnant teens that offers helpful information on three major options: adoption, abortion, and becoming a parent. The authors lead off with a fairly detailed review of the reproductive system and the stages of pregnancy before seguing into chapters that tackle a host of considerations that go into decision making: Should I marry? Should I tell my parents? Generally steering clear of religious/political factors, they discuss emotional considerations, reiterating frequently the importance of making an informed choice. Statistics are thoroughly footnoted; illustrations will be included in the final book; and a glossary and a list of agency resources are appended. Wide-ranging and useful, this provides the background needed by teens who have read books like Kuklin's affecting and much more personal What Do I Do Now? (1994). Stephanie Zvirin
Review
"This book effectively presents the facts about pregnancy and available choices, including abortion. Particularly useful are the several case studies of girls who became accidentally pregnant and the choices they made." Abortion Review. The book not only offers excellent guidance for teenagers already experiencing the dilemma of pregnancy but also points out the risks to youngsters who are considering becoming sexually active." -- Washington Counseletter
