Her children stand and bless her...
Charm is deceptive, and beauty
does not last;
but a woman who fears the LORD will
be greatly praised.
Reward her for all she has done.
Let her deeds publicly declare
her praise.
Proverbs 31:28 & 30 (NLT)

In 1989, out of a deep passion to serve young women who bravely chose to carry their babies to term and then chose to parent those children, Teen Mother Choices began serving "parenting" teenage mothers in northern Illinois. By utilizing volunteers from local area churches, Teen Mother Choices provided the young families with; financial assistance for childcare so the young mothers could return to school, caring Christian Mentors who provided much needed emotional support, and weekly  Lifeskills Workshops which equipped the teenage mothers with resources and information to help them become independent functioning members of society. Today, there are three Teen Mother Choices' programs providing services to teenage mothers in northern Illinois. Besides those three programs, there are over 40 organizations in 14 states that have copied the Teen Mother Choices' model and are serving teenage mothers within their own communities. |

Candice became part of the Teen Mother Choices in 1999 and "graduated" out of the program in 2004. During her five years in the program she completed her schooling and secured a full-time job, which allowed her and her daughter to move into their own housing. Candice says, "Teen Mother Choices has been a huge support to me in the many hurdles I have faced in becoming independent. More than anything else, they have taught me and my daughter Saige about Jesus. "Today, Candice continues to care for her daughter and she is actively involved in a local church. |
