ABOUT THE SHOW

In 16 and Pregnant, they were moms-to-be. Now, follow them as they face the challenges of the challenges of motherhood.

Each episode interweaves these stories revealing the wide variety of challenges young mothers can face: marriage, relationships, family support, adoption, finances, graduating high school, starting college, getting a job, and the daunting and exciting step of moving out to create their own families.

THE CAST
Teen Mom | Amber
Amber is a self-declared teenage party girl who dropped out of high school and grew up fast when she got pregnant with her baby, Leah. While her fiancé, Gary, works 12-hour days to support the family, Amber stays at home alone with Leah all day, and the stress of being a full-time mom is starting to add up. Amber's parents aren't able to help, and they can't afford childcare, so she does it alone. Amber doesn't have time or energy to see her friends, and when she tries to go out, Leah cries all the time. Gary doesn't understand, and they fight constantly about taking care of the baby. Amber wants to finish high school and realize her dreams of opening her own beauty salon -- but juggling high school, adult responsibilities, and a baby proves to be a lot harder than she thought.
Teen Mom | Catelynn
Catelynn is a smart and funny high school Senior, who spent her Junior year pregnant with her daughter Carly. In an emotional journey, Catelynn and her boyfriend Tyler chose adoption, even though their own parents strongly disapproved. They have a semi-open adoption, which means Catelynn and Tyler communicate regularly with Carly's adoptive parents, Brandon & Teresa, and see photographs of their growing daughter. Although Catelynn and Tyler know they made the right decision for themselves and their daughter, their parents are still having trouble accepting the decision, and Catelynn has been trying to avoid the drama at home by staying at Tyler's house, but that has proven harder she hoped. Catelynn's challenge is to help her family understand her decision to choose adoption, while trying to return to her normal teenage life and enjoy her Senior year.
Teen Mom | Farrah
High school cheerleader turned single mom, Farrah is facing the challenge of raising her daughter Sophia without her baby's father in the picture. Farrah lives at home with her mom, Debra, who helps with childcare but also nags Farrah about every decision -- especially about how to take care of Sophia. Farrah wants nothing more than to keep dating and have a normal teenage life, but her family constantly reminds her that she's a teen mom, not a normal teenager -- and she shouldn't be going out all the time. Farrah thinks she can have it all -- and tries to juggle work, culinary classes at the local college, a modeling career, and a social life, on top of raising her baby. But under pressure from her family, she can't keep all the balls in the air, and will have to decide between dating like a normal teenager and being a good mom for her daughter Sophia.
Teen Mom | Maci
Maci is your classic teenage overachiever -- popular, athletic, and successful in school. She had big plans to go away to college and have fun with her friends and her boyfriend Ryan -- but everything changed when she got pregnant in high school and had her son, Bentley. Now that she's a teen mom, Maci has to say goodbye to all her friends who are leaving for college, and stay behind to take care of her baby, enroll in online courses at the local state school, and plan her wedding to Ryan. Maci & Ryan live together, and their relationship has been rocky since she first got pregnant, but now that Bentley is almost a year old, their parents are pressuring them to get married. Maci never planned to marry young, and Ryan isn't great fiancé or a great father. When they aren't fighting, Ryan is out of town for work, and she's not sure if staying with him is best for Bentley. But Maci discovers that being a teen mom sometimes means putting your own dreams on hold to do what's best for your child.
