Parenting or Placing: Decision Making by Pregnant Teens.
Dworkin, Rosalind J.; And Others
Youth and Society, v25 n1 p75-92 Sep 1993
Examines teenage decision making for resolution of an unplanned pregnancy and the predictors of both the initial plan and the consistency of the adoption plan. Data from 162 pregnant adolescents reveal that the mother's preference strongly predicts the initial plan, and the birthfather's preference affects the consistency of adoption. (GLR)
