Mother's Choice (Chinese: 母親的抉擇) is a local charity serving children without families and pregnant teenagers in Hong Kong. Mother's Choice was founded in 1987 by a small group of people concerned with the plight of Hong Kong's single teenagers and their family members coping with crisis pregnancy. Today, Mother's Choice works toward a stated goal of building stronger families.
