Almost 0%. Now-a-days families want to keep their babies in their families rather then sending them away to live with strangers. People are a lot more enlightened than they were 20-30 years ago when teens were send away in shame to homes. The trend now is for older women to give their babies away.
Sorry - I had a link and now I can't find it.
ETA - here's the link that I have

"In 1970, approximately 80% of the infants born to single mothers were placed for adoption, whereas by 1983 that figure had dropped to only 4%"[20].
In contrast to numbers in the 1960s and 1970s, from 1989 to 1995 less than 1 percent of children born to never-married women were surrendered for adoption."

A couple of good sources:
google "Baby Scoop Era"
Check out the book, "The Girls Who Went Away" by Ann Fessler. She provides great details on the changing statistics of teen pregnancy in America over the past several decades.
I found the book at my local library.
Good Luck! |

i dont know and my answer wont really help but i think its an amazing, beautiful and selfless thing to do. If you cant support and provide a decent home for a child, then i give my support to the strong and brave women who choose adoption over abortion. |
