Phases of the moon, #1

"This is our story about the year we got pregnant & made the decision to give our baby up for adoption," begins this zine, as Stacey-Marie and Alexander write about meeting each other, hitchhiking across the country, finding out they're pregnant, making the decision to keep their child, and living in poverty and on food stamps in Athens, Georgia during the three trimesters of the pregnancy. They write about the importance of choice, and their decision to have an open adoption, natural childbirth, and to stay vegan during pregnancy. 21-year-old Stacey writes about the lack of support for motherhood in this society. This zine is illustrated with pictures of a developing fetus, and contains photographs of Stacey, Alexander, and the baby.
