How sad that the above sister can't see good coming from the volunteers willing to mentor these young women! Of course teen pregnancy is a tragedy and there are wonderful couples waiting to adopt and it would probably be best for the babies that these girls would choose adoption. But you can't force them and praise God they are choosing life! Since they are choosing to keep their babies, shouldn't we come alongside them and offer what we can to give hope of a better life to the generation they are giving birth to by helping the mothers make better decisions for themselves and their children? Not to mention taking every opportunity to share the love of Christ with them and hopefully truly see the changes that only the Spirit of God can create in a life?

How sad this article is...we see the effects of teen pregnancy everyday...welfare, no father, substance abuse, sexual, physical abuse of the child, sometimes even death... Its whats best FOR the child...no amount of baby showers, gifts or talk will turn a 15 yrs old into a mature mother... As Christians we must teach that adoption to loving, mature married couples is the best & loving option in many of these cases...Sadly too many babies are growing up only to suffer their mothers bad choices..
