Title: Farrah Abraham Baby Daddy Derek Underwood

Farrah Abraham's ex and the father of her baby, Derek Underwood, tragically died in a 2008 car accident.

Farrah was pregnant at the time of Derek’s death.

On 16 years old and Pregnant and the first season of Teen Mom, Farrah Abraham doesn’t reveal much about the father of her daughter, Sophia, except that she’s cut him out of her life.

 On 16 years old and Pregnant Farrah’s mom tells her to block his number to keep her from calling her cell phone. 

Farrah Abraham complies with her mother’s request and not long after cutting off contact with her baby’s daddy, 18-year-old Derek Underwood died in a car accident.

On Decemeber 28, 2008 Derek Underwood, who Farrah Abraham cited as Sophia’s father on her Facebook page, was driving when he lost control of the car; it skidded and flipped over into a power pole killing Underwood and another passenger, Zachary Mendoza. Both boys were from Council Bluffs, Iowa and were 18-years-old at the time of their death.

Zachary Mendoza’s mother Jackie Kennedy was seen on surveillance cameras purchasing a bottle of Sky vodka found at the scene of the crime and although it was determined Derek Underwood  had been drinking, his blood alcohol was below the legal limit.

 For that reason Kennedy was only charged with a misdemeanor count of supplying alcohol to a minor.

Derek Underwood the late baby daddy of Sophia, was first detailed on MTV in 2010. At the time, MTV left viewers guessing what happened to Derek Underwood, and how did Farrah’s baby daddy die.

Derek’s family spoke out about Farrah Abraham. Derek Underwood and Zachary Mendoza died in a car crash in 2008. At the time KETV reported that Underwood was the driver of the vehicle that tragic night. 

Derek Underwood’s obituary:

Farrah   Abraham is now 20 years old, lost the love of her life to a heartbreaking car accident over three years ago. At the time, she was pregnant with her daughter, Sophia. The perfect life she envisioned with him and their baby was shattered when the man she loved suddenly died.

Eager to distance herself from  Derek Underwood following their breakup, Farrah Abraham sought comfort in her parents after his death, but her cries for help fell on deaf ears.

Some things happen for a reason. Maybe he not being there is better for her and the baby.

Single mom Farrah Abraham has put aside a collection of photos of Derek Underwood and other mementos so that Sophia will be able to learn about the father she never got to meet.

OPINION:

It’s not easy what is Farrah Abraham is going through right after the tragedy in her life had happened. It changes her views and perspective in life especially that she was pregnant the time Derek Underwood died. All the love and care that she needs to have from Derek Underwood was gone. Being alone in raising a child at a very young age is definitely a difficult responsibility. She needs to stay strong and positive despite of all the negative things in her life. She needs to move on and focus her life with her baby Sophia.

She was a teenager mother. She doesn’t know a lot of things about motherhood. It’s a big challenge for her. A love and support from his parents is needed. She will learn various things from being a single mother. She is not alone. There are similar cases in the world nowadays. Most of the teenagers in this generation are curious to explore and experience the things that are prohibited. So, the increasing number of a young mother is unstoppable. A good guidance for them is to be responsible of their actions and the consequences of it.

Farrah Abraham should do her best to be a good mother to her baby Sophia, without baby father Derek Underwood.

 Farah Abraham should do her part as a mother and father of her daughter. It’s tough but fulfilling achievement in her life especially if she will raise up her daughter well. She needs to move on and move forward. Every challenge in life is just a test to make you a better person.
