Bio[]
16-year-old Minnesotan high-schooler Juno MacGuff discovers she is pregnant with a child fathered by her friend and longtime admirer, Paulie Bleeker. While she is rumored to have an abortion, she changes her mind and decides to make a plan for the child's adoption. With the help of her friend Leah, Juno searches the ads in the Pennysaver and finds a couple she feels will provide a suitable home. She also decides to come clean with her father, Mac, and stepmother, Bren, who offer their support. Along with Mac, Juno meets the couple, Mark and Vanessa Loring, in their expensive home and expresses a desire for a closed adoption.
As the pregnancy progresses, Juno struggles with the emotions she feels for her baby's father, Paulie, who is clearly—although passively—in love with Juno.
Not long before her baby is due, Juno is again visiting with Mark when their intercourse becomes strongly emotional. Mark then tells her that he will be leaving Vanessa. Vanessa arrives home, and, to her shock, Mark tells her he does never feel ready to be a father and that there are still things he wants to do first. Juno sees the Loring marriage fall apart, then drives away. Returning, she leaves a note for Vanessa and disappears as they answer the door.
Juno goes into labor and is rushed to the hospital, where she gives birth to a baby boy. She had deliberately not told Paulie because of his track meet. Seeing them missing from the stands, Paulie figures it out and he rushes to the hospital, arriving to find Juno has given birth to their son and comforts Juno as she cries. Vanessa comes to the hospital where she happily asks the newborn boy as a single adoptive mother. On the wall in the baby's new nursery, Vanessa has framed Juno's note: "Vanessa, if you're in, I'm still in. -Juno"
