*Partners of Adolescent Mothers
*Research shows that 2/3 of adolescent dads are in their 20’s
*Many are in serious, supportive relationship with teen mom, engaged in the whole pregnancy, and present for labor and delivery
*Relationships among teens often deteriorate over time partly due to conflicts with baby’s grandparents, financial struggles
*Fathers are included in birth certificate, and legal paternity helps with benefits for baby
*Some teen moms may want nothing to do w/dad, esp. in cases of rape, incest, or exploited sex. RN must investigate to protect mom and baby—social services referral is indicated.
