The case example am interested in discussing is on the Ortega family, the case outline discussed the challenges faced by Lupe Ortega 18 years old female, pregnant and still in school.
Lupe family are one of the undocumented immigrant in USA and the situation of avoiding any legal issues as been part of the family way of surviving in the country, where the father is paid under the table and does not receive medical coverage through his employment.

However in trying to understand the situation of Lupe and how I can assist in this case is by understanding the culture of the Latinos what are their values, belief and cultural practices, this will guard me in comprehending to the decisions Lupe chose to make in resolving the problem.
If Lupe decide on keeping the child I as the social worker need to inform her about the different health care resources available and if her parents are not willing to accept her into the family I will inquire on locating housing accommodation for single pregnant parents, where she can get support from group of people like her who are also experiencing such situations.
The importance of freedom in decision making also mandates enabling the clients to discern the implications of each choice she might make. By assessing the implications for each option, the client will be able to be guided by her own judgment, her value preferences as well as political realities (Fong & Furuto, 2001, pp
