About I'm Pregnant, Now What Do I
Product Description The information in this book is presented in a nonjudgmental manner and emphasizes empowering the pregnant teen to seek support and utilize the information provided in order to feel comfortable choosing the option that is best for her. The authors emphasize taking responsibility for one's actions and building a positive future. 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 From the Back Cover "I'm Pregnant, Now What Do I Do?" is a valuable resource for young women, their partners, and their families. Which choice to make - parenting, placing the baby for adoption, or having an abortion - is something each girl must determine for herself. This book provides candid discussion and firsthand accounts from young women who have been in this situation, allowing the reader to make her own fully informed decision. About the Author Robert W.
