The stats dip up and down too erratically for each year, but here is the 2004 stats: (2005 stats not compiled yet) A record number of babies were born to unwed women in the U.S. Contrary to popular belief, it isn't mostly teenagers who are giving birth out of wedlock. Teens accounted for 24% of unwed births, down from 50% in 1970 and the highest percentage was among women ages 25 - 29 years old. There were 1,470,152 babies born to unmarried mothers in the U.S. which accounted for 35.7% of all births in the country. Marcy

For 2005, 37% of US children were born out of wedlock, according to a government report. Some out-of-wedlock children were born to mothers who were living at the time of birth with the fathers of these children. This figure probably does not include those couples who became pregnant out of wedlock but then married before giving birth.
Preliminary data indicates that 40.7 percent of children are born out of wedlock.
