Long Island has a high incidence of teenage pregnancy.
A few had been homeless for a long time, while others had been thrown out of their home when their parents learned they were pregnant. Many other young mothers lived with parents who would not let them return with a baby, or the young mothers were part of dysfunctional homes considered dangerous for an infant.

Young mothers, whose choice of life for their child is at odds with a society which too often promotes death, now have a place to take their baby home.
