The following are the statistics as of April 26th, 2010:

The following numbers were obtained through our Client Survey Form which all participants fill out. These numbers are prior to obtaining long-term birth control through our program:

  • 3,432 - Total number of paid clients.

  • 5,939- Total number of these children remaining in foster care to date.
  • 1,059 have chosen Depo-Provera, 1,272 Tubal Ligation, 892 IUD, 121 Implanon, 38 Norplant, and 51 Vasectomies.
  • 1,714 clients have been Caucasian, 913 African-American, 441 Hispanic, and 364 of other ethnic backgrounds.

We've paid addicts in ALL States!

Average pregnancies per addict

If one divides the number of living children by the number of women paid it appears that the average number of children born to addicts paid is three, but that is a misleading calculation. Here are the true numbers given to us by the women themselves. (*number of pregnancies include 4,428 pregnancies that were aborted)

  • 1 was pregnant 21 times
  • 16 were pregnant 16 times
  • 12 were pregnant 15 times
  • 19 were pregnant 14 times
  • 19 were pregnant 13 times
  • 31 were pregnant 12 times
  • 33 were pregnant 11 times
  • 98 were pregnant 10 times
  • 149 were pregnant 9 times
  • 166 were pregnant 8 times
  • 220 were pregnant 7 times
  • 313 were pregnant 6 times
  • 401 were pregnant 5 times
  • all others were pregnant 0 to 4 times

Many seem concerned about the sterilization offer as a choice of birth control. It is important for you to know that NO ONE has been sterilized who hasn't already had children.

Here are the stats for the last 20 women/addicts we paid prior to their decision to get a tubal ligation.

  • 121 pregnancies between them
  • 24 abortions between them
  • 6 of their children either stillborn or died after birth from complications That is an average of 6 pregnancies prior to being sterilized
  • Average of 4 living children each.
  • 78 of their children remain in foster care (they can reclaim them if they get clean)
