Sixteen-year-old Minnesota high-schooler Juno MacGuff is quick-witted, down-to-earth and confident. One night, she decides to lose her virginity to good friend and longtime admirer, Paulie Bleeker, however soon after, she realises she is pregnant. She initially considers an abortion. Going to a local clinic run by a women’s group, she encounters a schoolmate outside who is holding a one-person protest for pro-life vigil. Once inside, however, a variety of factors lead Juno to leave. She decides to give the baby up for adoption instead. 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 tells her father, Mac, and stepmother, Bren, who offer their support. With Mac, Juno meets the couple, Mark and Vanessa Loring, in their expensive home and agrees to a closed adoption.
