MTV has announced plans to film the first ever “Teen Dad” special, hosted by Dr. Drew, late this month.  Baby daddies, Gary Shirley, Ryan Edwards, Tyler Baltierra, Corey Simms, Adam Lind, and Jo Rivera have all agreed to appear on the special to discuss life as a teen father.

According to OnSet Productions,

Dr. Drew will sit down to hear the stories of these young dads who are navigating the bumpy terrain of adolescence, growing pains, and coming of age – all while facing the responsibility of being a young DAD. On Memorial Weekend, this special will include Gary, Ryan, Ty, Jo, Adam and Cory one on one with Dr. Drew.

Excited to be a part of the filming, Amber Portwood’s on-again/off-again boyfriend, Shirley, tweeted, ”NYC in 2 wks for first ever Teen Dad special.”

While many of the fathers have branched out to pursue other endeavours, most still consider being a father their number one priority.  Especially those who have unfit partners to contend with.
