I was flipping through the channels last night and caught the end of an episode with a smart young woman with an uninvolved boyfriend. They were arguing and both remained calm but he basically told her he was only with her because of the baby. She was crying. It was heartbreaking. I don't think I'll watch again because basically it is just a sad situation although the girl clearly loved her child and had the potential to be a great mom.
I can't say whether any of these young woman should consider placing or not...I sure many fo them will make good moms. But there is no question that most of them will not have good relationships with the dads just because most teenage boys are completely unprepared for fatherhood and long term repsonsiblity.
I would agree that it is great show for teens to watch--it doesn't glamorize or condemn...it merely shines a light on the issue.
