There were ways to stop before becoming pregnant. This does not mean that the grown children are not wonderful to have here on Earth but she was hardly what one would call a mom. Of course I am jumping to conclusions and hope people have answers as to why she gave all up for adoption. I hope it was due to money issues and thinking of the children first. I hope you find more. I recall, when I was 14 years old, I was watching "Airport". My mom was so worried since my dad was gone all day and it was after 9pm. Finally he came in grinning from ear to ear. When she asked where he was He said "I went to see my daughter!" I thought he was talking about me and was confused. It came out that he had a daughter with another woman, way before he met my mom, in 1948. He asked the woman to marry him but she turned him down and left the child with her mom. For 2 years my dad made sure she had everything. One day he came with a big stuffed bear, he said, and he found the grandmother weeping on the stoop. She said that her daughter had adopted my dad's daughter out. My dad had no say and could not find out anything more. In 1978 my half sister contacted my dad and the rest is history. She did contact her biological mom but she still was not interested. My dad was there all the way through until he died. I now have a sister:)Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5884373958400377554.post-11124029848817679112015-04-08T17:11:41.946-07:002015-04-08T17:11:41.946-07:00The adult siblings have such a strong resemblance....The adult siblings have such a strong resemblance.
