Cast

Cast Member Hometown Biography
Maci Bookout[4][5][6] Chattanooga, Tennessee Maci Bookout, the mother of Bentley Cadence Edwards, is described by MTV as the classic teenage overachiever who is popular, athletic, and successful in school.[4] She had aspirations to go away to college with her friends after she graduated high school, but her dreams are now on hold as she struggles to take care of Bentley, take online courses at the local state college, and to keep her relationship with Ryan, the baby's father.[7] Maci gets fed up with Ryan when he does not help her juggle parenthood, school, and work to her satisfaction.[6]

Bookout said the reason she did the show was because she wanted to get a good message across[7] and stated: "I really just wanted to show girls how hard it was to be a teen parent, I wanted girls who might get pregnant to see there are options out there to move forward with your life and still have goals."[5] She has gone back to college after dropping her online classes, and now is majoring in journalism and hopes to write a book about her experience being sixteen and pregnant. She also speaks at local high schools to talk about teen pregnancy.[7]

Farrah Abraham[4][6][8] Council Bluffs, Iowa[4] An aspiring model,[6] Farrah Abraham is the mother of Sophia Laurent Abraham. Sophia's father, Derek Underwood, was killed in a car accident on December 28, 2008, before her birth. In January 2010, Farrah's mother, Debra Danielson, was charged with assault in an Iowa court for hitting her.[8] Due to the fight with her mom, Farrah and Sophia move into an apartment, then talk about moving into her mom's rental house across the street. She sees a therapist to discuss the rocky relationship with her family, as well as dealing with her emotions regarding Underwood and his death. Farrah eventually proves to Derek's family through a paternity test that Derek was indeed Sophia's father and was faced with a lawsuit by Derek's mom for grandparents visitation rights despite no previous contact with Sophia.
Catelynn Lowell[4][5][6] Port Huron, Michigan Catelynn Lowell is the birth-mother of Carolynn "Carly" Elizabeth. Described as a smart and funny high school senior, she struggles to adjust back to her normal life after her emotional decision to place Carly for adoption. Catelynn has been kept on an integral part of the show, to let prospective teen moms know that there are other options and that one can go on and still be a "birth mom" while being completely mature and selfless. The adoptive parents are Brandon and Theresa.[4] Catelynn moves back home with her parents, but learns that her stepfather, who is also the father of her boyfriend Tyler, is not over her decision to place her daughter for adoption. During the season, Catelynn comes to terms with being a birth mother, moves in with Tyler and his mother when her mother and her stepfather move into an apartment in another city, and gets engaged to Tyler. She and Tyler both get tattoos in honor of their daughter.
Amber Portwood[4][5] Anderson, Indiana Amber Portwood is the mother of Leah Leann Shirley. Amber's journey into parenthood has been tough; she struggles to parent Leah, and stay with her fiance Gary. She used to be a self-declared party girl, but now discovers she has little time to do anything besides take care of Leah. Amber dropped out of high school when she discovered she was pregnant, but now is working on obtaining her GED. She struggles to balance school and parenting, and her dream of opening her own beauty salon seems far-fetched now. She has many troubles with her baby's father, Gary. The problems have led to physical violence in front of her child, Leah. Amber eventually gets arrested for domestic violence against Gary. [4] She had a younger sister, Candace, that died of SIDS, when Amber was 5.[9]

Footage of Amber Portwood's violent behavior towards the father of her child, Gary Shirley, prompted an investigation from the police department in Anderson, Indiana, as well as Child Protective Services. On October 20, 2010, The Today Show aired a segment revolving around the depicted domestic abuse in both seasons. NBC's Dan Abrams discussed the possible legal consequences Portwood could face under Indiana law, and under the maximum punishment, Portwood could be charged with three felonies (conducting abuse in front of a child under 14, domestic violence, along with several related misdemeanors). Police have searched Portwood's apartment, finding "evidence that requires further investigation", although they would not specify what had been found.

On November 3, it was reported that Portwood agreed to allow Indiana's child protective services to monitor her for up to six months in the wake of her televised assault on ex-boyfriend Gary, which sparked hundreds of public complaints questioning her suitability to be a mother. Portwood was allowed to maintain custody of their two-year-old daughter Leah.[36] On November 18, after an extensive investigation, Portwood was charged with three counts of domestic violence for incidents of abuse inflicted on Shirley that aired on the reality show.[37] The same day, MTV released a statement concerning the charges filed on Portwood: "We are cooperating with all parties and hope for a quick and fair resolution that allows everyone involved to move forward in a positive manner." [38]

On June 15, 2011, it was reported that Portwood was considering a suicide attempt.[39] This was confirmed by a 911 call made by ex-boyfriend Gary, who was concerned over Portwood's highly unusual behavior. She was immediately transported to a local hospital, where it was determined that mental problems caused the attempt.

In December 2011, Portwood was arrested and will remain in Madison County Jail until at least 27 January 2012 for violating her probation: Failure to behave well in society, specifically drinking too much and hitting somebody at a restaurant the previous month;Failure to obtain a GED certificate; Failure to complete 6-months of anger control and evaluation classes; Failure to pay probation fees and finally failure to set up a $10,000 college fund for Leah.
