“No one ever told me that it was so easy to get pregnant,” says Lilly, who had only been dating James for a few months before she got pregnant.
“It’s not what a mom wants for her daughter — nobody wants this,” Lilly’s mom says. “It’s pretty much a mom’s worst nightmare.”
McKayla was largely raised by her grandparents, is getting ready for prom when her mom decides she wants to be a bigger part of her life.
