This handbook helps adolescents make their own decisions about their pregnancies. Using a supportive, non-directive approach, it does not advocate any particular solution to the dilemma of teenage pregnancy. It does, however, offer various alternatives as it guides the teen through considering each available option.

Although primarily addressed to the pregnant teen and the significant people in her life, Facing Teenage Pregnancy will also prove very useful to the adopted teenager who is troubled by thoughts about being adopted.
