“Secret Life”: An Adoption on the Horizon?
As I shared in this blog entry , the television show The Secret Life of the American Teenager is addressing the topic of teen pregnancy a second time. This time, it is worldly 17-year-old Adrian (played by Francia Raisa who is pregnant after having a one-night stand with naïve Ben Boykewich (played by Ken Baumann).
I really thought that Adrian was going to have an abortion. She even went to the clinic with her mother to have one. However, she simply could not go through with it, so I guess Adrian will be having the baby. Now the big question is whether she will choose to be a teen mom (which she has said numerous times that she does not want to do) or if she will place the baby for adoption. Of course, for blogging purposes as well as covering this option, I am rooting for an adoption placement.

“Secret Life”: “Could Have Been” Birth Mother
As I shared in this blog entry, the television show The Secret Life of the American Teenager is addressing the topic of teen pregnancy a second time. This time, it is worldly 17-year-old Adrian (played by Francia Raisa who is pregnant after having a one-night stand with naïve Ben Boykewich (played by Ken Baumann).
Last week’s episode had a great scene in which Adrian talked with her mother Cindy (played by Paola Turbay) about her pregnancy. Adrian has always been adamant that she does not want to have a baby as a teenager. She was taking birth control and had the condom break, but she still managed to get pregnant. While Cindy said that she would be supportive about whatever Adrian decides, she had an interesting perspective to share as a “could have been” birth mother.

“Secret Life”: Here We Go Again (Another Crisis Pregnancy)
I blogged about the television show, The Secret Life of the American Teenager when it first came out because of the crisis pregnancy storyline. I was hoping that the show would explore adoption, which it did. The 15-year-old Amy (played by Shailene Woodley) considered abortion and adoption before choosing to parent her baby.
Secret Life is launching another teen pregnancy storyline. This time, the pregnant teen is Adrian (played by Francia Raisa, who got pregnant after a one-night stand with Ben Boykewich (played by Ken Baumann). As with Amy, this was also Ben’s first time having sex, so I guess the show is trying to drive home that whether you are male or female, your first sexual encounter can lead to a pregnancy.
