First and foremost, we want to acknowledge and extend our gratitude to the young men and women who opened up and shared their stories with us over the years and, most particularly, to those who are featured in this book. Over the years, we have relied heavily on a team of skilled and dedicated students and research staff who collected most of the data included in this book. Some of these people we worked with will appear as interviewerswith pseudonymsin the chapters that follow. We want to give special thanks to Rosemary Adams, Claire McCain Khadakkar, Eugenia Alba, Matt Winstanley, Andy Suth, Mike Voss, Jennifer Briggs, Trina Seefeldt, Chuck Edgerton, Solmaz Shotorbani, Spencer Hall, and Kimberly Fausto, whose research skills were critical to the success of our work.

Like our research participants, our interviewers were racially and ethnically diverse and ranged in age from their 20s to their 60s. There was also a balance of male and female interviewers because we made a point of having young fathers be interviewed by men and young mothers be interviewed by women. These research assistants, who stuck with us over the years, were responsible for helping the young mothers and fathers feel comfortable enough to tell us their stories and then to come back and tell us more as their stories unfolded over time. We think they did their jobs remarkably well. Several students and colleagues also played a critical role in the development of the Young Parenthood Program we describe in . These collaborators include Jason Burrow-Sanchez, Rocio Paredes-Mora, Kellie VanderVeur, Laura McArthur, Sarah Heavin, Tim Fowles, Le Ngu, and Cristina Hudak. A couple of these colleagues appear as counselors in that chapter, with their identity disguised, along with the specifics of their clients identity and circumstances.

Dr. Katie McElligott, who is a pediatrician in Salt Lake City, deserves a special note of appreciation because she played an instrumental role in helping us gain access to the young women and men who participated in our research over many years. Katie ran the Teen Mother and Child Program at the University of Utah Hospital for so long that she provided medical care to the children of the children she had cared for a generation earlier. Katies patients loved her, and we could tell she loved them too. If not for Katie and her staff, particularly Analee Walton, our work may have never gotten off the ground.

We also want to acknowledge our colleagues who have supported our work and helped us formulate some of the ideas included in this book, including Sheri Johnson, Philip and Carolyn Cowan, Jay Fagan, Alan Hawkins, Michael Lamb, and Jay Belsky. We appreciate the Helen Riaboff Whiteley Center at the University of Washington for providing us with a place to get together, away from it all, to discuss what we wanted to say and how to best say it in this book. That time and space was immensely valuable. We owe a heartfelt thank you to Haley Florsheim for reading and providing valuable feedback on our first complete draft of this book.

Over the years, we have received generous funding from various agencies and foundations to support the work we describe in this book. These include the Office of Populations Affairs, the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, and the National Institute of Mental Health. Alicia Richmond Scott and Cassandra Chess, at the now-defunct Office of Adolescent Pregnancy Programs, were particularly helpful and supportive of us along the way. We do not want this acknowledgments section to come across as a mere formality because the work we present in this book is the product of a team effort that required tremendous amounts of time, energy, and money. We are grateful to everyone who made this research possible.
