Quotes to Note

The U.S. Teen Pregnancy Rate declined by 36% from 1990-2002.

The U.S. Teen Birth Rate declined by fully one-third from 1991-2004.

The birth rate among teenagers again declined 2% in 2005, continuing a trend from the early 1990s. The rate is now about 40 births per 1,000 females, ages 15 to 19. That is the lowest level in the 65 years for which a consistent series of rates is available.

The U.S. teen birth rate is still the highest among industrialized countries.

The U.S. Teen Abortion Rate also declined by 37% from 1990-2002.

[Alan Guttmacher Institute, 10/06; National Center for Health Statistics, 11/06]

 
Comments of An Adoptive Mother PDF Print E-mail

Imagine a petite, blond-haired little girl running across a playground yelling: "Watch me, Mommy!", as she heads for the swing set. Her blue eyes light up and she smiles from ear to ear as she swings higher and higher.

That's my little girl!

My husband and I adopted her when she was six weeks old and we immediately fell in love. Her laughter, energy and love for life have changed our world completely.

When I hear her little voice say, "I love you, Mommy!", I am so grateful for her precious life.

Every baby should have the chance to grow and laugh and play and be loved just like our sweet daughter. She has truly found her own special place in our hearts and in this world.
