Interesting Facts on Adoption
According to a study published by Alan Guttmacher Institute, teen mothers who choose adoption do better than mothers who choose to be single parents. As quoted in an Heritage Foundation article they:
- have higher educational aspirations,
- are more likely to finish school,
- are less likely to live in poverty and receive public assistance than mothers who keep their children.
- delay marriage longer
- are more likely to marry eventually
- are more likely to be employed 12 months after the birth
- are less likely to repeat out-of-wedlock pregnancy
- are no more likely to suffer negative psychological consequences, such as depression, than are mothers who rear children as single parents.
