Dancing Naked by Shelley Hrdlitschka

Kia is 17 years old and she just discovered she is pregnant by her boyfriend, Derek. When Kia told Derek she was pregnant, he got very mad and asked Kia to have an abortion because he wasn't going to take care of the baby. When Kia finally got to the room where she was going to have the abortion, she immediately got up and left because she was thinking she had to follow her heart and do what is right for the baby and her. She ran outside with her friend Justin who was waiting for her in the waiting room. Kia decided she was going to have the baby and confessed to her parents she was pregnant. Kia's dad doesn't want her to have the baby so Kia is going to put up the baby for adoption with a really nice couple she found. As time passes, she realizes she is in love with her friend, Justin, but Justin confessed to her he is gay. The great day arrived and Justin, Kia, the adoptive parents and Kia's parents were in the hospital with her contemplating the happiness the baby girl had brought to their lives. Finally it was time for Kia to give the baby to the adoptive parents. She started crying because she didn't want to give the baby up for adoption. After all the hardships she went through she was able to live her life again in a totally different way because now she was more mature and she was a mom.
