At just 15 years old, Daneya found herself unexpectedly pregnant. Her mother kicked her out of their home, and the father was not involved in Daneya's life. Daneya turned to Planned Parenthood for help at the urging of a teacher. "I was greeted by women who treated me with care and respect," she says. "They treated me as the woman that I was, capable of making decisions for myself and my baby despite my age." Daneya spoke with staff at her local Planned Parenthood health center and was given information about her options. She decided to place her child for adoption. "Planned Parenthood cared for me and my child when I felt like no one else did," she says.
