Moore, Nelwyn B.; Davidson, J. Kenneth, Sr.
Adoption Quarterly, v6 n2 p29-41 2002
Administered an anonymous questionnaire to pregnant adolescents living at a residential facility in a southwestern city while they were in the process of deciding whether to keep their infant or place it for adoption. Found that contextual variables influenced the choice of placing for adoption, including family background and interaction patterns, religious values, cognitive factors, and peer relationships.
