US: Teen Birth Rate Drops Dramatically, Still Huge Issue for Foster Kids (Includes video)
Youth Today – May 11, 2016
The most recent estimates of pregnancy among foster teens come from the continuing California Youth Transitions to Adulthood study, in which more than 700 youth were surveyed. A just-released followup of the study showed that by age 19, nearly half of the young women in foster care had become pregnant and one-fourth had given birth.
