Teenage Pregnancy and Adoption DVD

Grades 7-12.
This ABC News program sheds light on the most heartbreaking dilemms a teen mother can face. Viewers enter the lives of Erin and Brookanne, who - because of college plans and financial hardships - have decided against motherhood and now reside at the Gladney Center for Adoption, a unique facility for pregnant teens in Fort Worth, Texas. OB-GYN appointments, counseling sessions, and meetings with hopeful adoptive parents reveal the medical, emotional, and economic realities the girls must confront as the impending births approach. The program culminates with the arrival of babies and, within days, the moment of greatest sadness and joy. 38 minutes. Copyright 2007.
