I agree with much of what's been said in previous reviews: This is a story that does two things: It humanizes young mothers, because the voices of the two girls are rich and they sound like they're talking to their friends. Second, it makes the mothers anonymous members of a group, by weaving their voices together without narration.

I think Curie would do stations a BIG favor by providing a host intro and outro to give some information about (and thereby personalize) the two mothers. What are their names? (Or if they wish to be anonymous, explain why). Where do they live? What are their kids names? How old were they when the story was made? What are they doing now? How old are their kids? What are their kids' names?

When we aired this story I was able to find out some of the answers: The mother with the supportive family is named Alca Usan; the other wished to be anonymous at the time the story was made because she was applying to college. Alca's daughter is named Mia Sol. Alca is 19 now (as of Jan 2007), her daughter is 2 1/2. Alca had her daughter the day after school got out in her sophomore year. She's in college now, lives with her grandmother, mother and siblings. Her boyfriend lives downstairs. She wants more kids.
