What is the profile of a typical birthmother?
Our statistics show that teenagers have the highest pregnancy rate, and most choose abortion or to parent the baby. Teenagers sometimes consider adoption; however, many are not mature enough to go through with the plan. Many can deny their feelings during pregnancy, but when the child is born they may easily have a change of heart. Most birthparents who have placed their children with our clients are between 19 and 30 years of age. Most of them are single parents to one or more children. They know the realities of parenting and are more likely to go through with an adoption plan.
