Child Welfare and Adoption Family Dynamics and Relationships Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health

Abstract

This article examines the relative importance of demographic characteristics, perceived alternatives to early childbearing, attitudes toward adoption and expectations regarding pregnancy, and relationships and experiences in adolescent mothers' decisions to keep or release their children for adoption. Data from 177 adolescents indicate that demographic characteristics and perceived alternatives to early childbearing are the strongest discriminators between those who keep and those who release a child for adoption.
