It was a scary thought for Desire Alualu to know before graduating from high school in 2005 that she was pregnant with her boyfriend’s baby.
Statistics indicate the task of becoming a single mother shortly after an 18th birthday can be daunting.

“I get emotional thinking about it all the time because if it were any other guy but Tyson, I would have been nervous,” said a teary-eyed Desire.
