This study assesses the short-term consequences of parenting versus placing for adoption in a sample of young, unmarried, pregnant women, 311 of whom parented and 216 of whom inquished their babies. The women were interviewed during the final trimester of pregnancy and again at 6 months post-birth. Bivariate .results indicate that both groups were relatively comfortable with their pregnancv resolution decisions. Logistic regression results indicate that net of pre-existing differences, placers were less comfortable with their decisions, fured better on the iodemographic outcomes and were indistinguishable from parenters an social psychological outcomes. These results are more encouraging than those from previous studies reporting strong dissatisfaction with the decision and negative psychologial consequences for relinquishers. These findings have to be qualified by the short-term nature of the consequences studied and the nature of the sample.
