Q: How can I get birth control? How much does it cost? Do they tell my parents?
A: Family-planning clinics, like Planned Parenthood, are great places for teens to go for information about birth control and help getting it.

A few times.
All the time.

Last May, I had a baby boy and I made an adoption plan for him. We decided on an open adoption where we chose the baby�s parents and we get to see him four times a year and get pictures and letters monthly.
