'A stronger love': Alaska teen gives breast milk to the baby she gave up for adoption

'A stronger love': Alaska teen gives breast milk to the baby she gave up for adoption In November, an Anchorage teenager gave birth to a baby girl she knew she couldn't raise.



Adoption, she decided, was the best choice.

She says she did it for the same reason she chose adoption: "I want her to have the best."
