I got pregnant in 1967...my mother made sure I gave my baby girl up because it was tabu to get pregnant without marriage. She made me go to à home for unwed mothers. I found my daughter in the late '90's. She had good parents and for that I am grateful but I was given no choice..I wouldn't have given my baby up. My mom used guilt to get her way.

I was a teen mom, I had my daughter at 19. I was lucky that my Mom told me if I want to keep the baby she would help me. I can’t imagine having to give up my child. My daughter is turning 22 this month and is pregnant with her first child. I’m glad she waited until she was older. She is married, owns her house and is a paralegal. I hope this lady gets to build a relationship with her birth son.

I feel for these ladies. Back in 1967 and 68 when my sister age 17, then my brother age 16 found themselves expecting my parents supported them in getting married and keeping their babies. It was beyond my parents wildest dreams to be grandparents even though they were young, 34 and 39. Not for one minute was giving these babies up even considered. I was the proudest auntie at the age of 12! My sister and her husband worked graveyard shift together so that little baby slept with ME and I was able to also care for her after school. Then my nephew that came along nine months later...I got to live with my brother's family for the entire summer and care for him. It was the BEST summer I ever had. He died of SIDS at the age of 7 months and 3 days. I am so fortunate to have gotten to spend almost half of his short life with just him and me. UPDATE: My sister was married almost ten years, had two more children, then her husband died when he was only thirty years old. My brother and his wife had another baby and stayed married. This September they will celebrate 53 years together.

I got pregnant at 15 yrs old and was 16 by the time I delivered my son. My parents push me to give him up for adoption which I sign papers and there was a couple already to take him. I told my mom no! I'm not giving up my baby! So she found a guy at church that was 21 and she said if u don't give the baby up then u get married. I didn't care just as long as I got to keep my baby. That was in 1978 and my son is now 45. He was born on Feb 4th just like this woman's son. I'm so thankful I got to keep my son. I was one of the lucky one.

Forcing mothers to hide their pregnancy and give up their child to never see or hear from them again, is barbaric. Now, there are open, partially open, and closed adoptions. A mother always longs for her child, and a person always wonders where they came from. I pray she found Kevin. 🙏🏻❤

In regards to opening the records, I feel mixed on that tbh. It assumes all parties *want* to be found. Some may prefer that anonymity. If anything, 1) those in the records should be contacted to find out which they would prefer, and give those mothers the choice they never had, and 2) make any medical information in those records available to the child
@writerspen010
@writerspen010 3 жыл бұрын
@chaneliswell89 Wilson that's different though, and there are other things that could be done to prevent that from happening, such as sending people redacted forms about their family and medical histories, including information about existing siblings. Once they reach adulthood those redacted forms could be checked by a records official to confirm a couple is not related if they were trying to get married or enter a common law marriage when a couple includes an adoptee(s). Something like this would, again, allow the privacy of, say, the parent who wants to remain anonymous, but allow their children the right to know their background.

As an adoptee placed at birth, I didn’t consent to separation. Why should I respect a “contract” that didn’t consider my rights? My bio family lives 20 minutes from me, I’m just finding this out and it’s disturbing. I even applied for jobs at the same place my bio mom works. The thought of these is sickening and secrecy is more important than birth right. I’m praying I’ve never dated any “family” members. Why should I have to live this way?

Open records? I've seen before my own eyes a mother who was looking for the son she gave up. She went up and down and managed to find him after 30 years, but it turned out - he didn't know he was adopted at all. He was very proud to be who he was, his history, hus bloodline, he already had kids of his own. And after he found out it was all a lie - he felt betrayed and ended up viciously hating his birth-mom for storming in and ruining the life he knew. He told her to her face he wished he'd never seen her, never gotten that phonecall, never got that talk with his parents. He said she was a complete stranger to him and he feels nothing towards her, other than hatred for coming into his stable, good life with her selfish reasons and stupid guilt-complex and completely destroying everything he knew of himself. Just sayin'... Not all of these stories go well...

Reminds me of the story of the one mother who’s baby was literally stolen from her in the hospital, and years later they finally found her but the daughter defended the person who literally stole her and refused to have anything to do with her birth mother. It was the most messed up thing ever, and I don’t understand how anyone could be that heartless towards someone who wanted to take care of them and raise them, but didn’t have much of a choice for whatever circumstance there was at the time.

Now a days we have DNA. In my family alone, we have been contacted by 2 people. One was adopted out at birth, and no one knew. Another always thought she was raised by her biological dad until she wanted to find out her heritage and found out she wasn't related to him. So whether records are open or not, you can be found. It just may take more work. In Washington State an adoptee can get their original birth certificate, with the birthmothers name on it. That's how one of our family members found us.

Wow really? I was having a kid in 2002. Some of the things the mom was saying to the pregnant daughter were reminding me of my mother. ( my mom actually dis grab my baby and run. She was not happy i was pregnant as a 20 yo adult and made my life miserable. Then she acted like grandma of the year when i got home. She was suggesting at one point i go into one of those homes like no im 20) i get that the documentary was about her looking for her son the mom was reminded ny her daughters pregnancy. But i kinda felt for the daughter with how the mon kept relating it to her.. You could tell at points she was annoyed. I hope she found her son but also didn't bring up 18 years of comparison

Back in the 60's and decades before that, unwed mothers were shunned and treated shamefully. I'm glad to see things are changing. I had a coworker who kicked the daughter out of their house for getting pregnant. Thankfully, after the baby was born, a relative got them to reconcile. That grandchild is loved by the grandparent and will never know how his mom was treated (unless she tells him). I don't understand how a new life can be shameful.

I’m concerned did you find your son and I want an ending for the story? It felt sad that I didn’t get to hear the rest of it. Is there another part to this and how can we find it? Your story was so touching I was forced to have an abortion play an older brother in the 60s and I had to tell the doctors that I was mentally incapable, to have a child, I had a hysterectomy which tells me that it was further along in my pregnancy than I was ever told, and I could never ever look at the birth records to see how old my childhood been before I had a taken from me today and to this day, I am haunted! I pray you have found your son

This is so sad! I remember when friends of mine had to leave town and while the parents made excuses, then suddenly she came back, usually very depressed. So horribly sad. The “lucky” girls were got married when they weren’t ready and were way to young to be married to some poor guy who wasn’t ready either. I know some lucky kids who had parental support during the early days of their marriage, which sometimes meant that one of the couple, usually the man, was able to continue school. The past was the worst.

I think it is because fathers don't want to acknowledge children born out of wedlock. They can deny paternity but DNA makes that difficult. Men are more likely to acknowledge children born within a marriage.

When my daughter started speaking about searching for her birth mom she had my support. I questioned her because most adoptees tend to think first of birth mother. I asked her what if she found her birth father and not the mother, that her father might be looking for her. Well, both birth families were found but mother did not want contact. Father was deceased but my daughter made contact with half-siblings and it has been really good for all of them. They live far apart which is unfortunate. The nice thing for us, the adopted parents, is that we have been forming a wonderful relationship with our daughter's older sister. We now have a bonus daughter and her family.

@@terrykelly6113 It used to be the case that a fathers name could only be on a birth certificate if he was married to the mother. Also in some cases the birth father may have no idea that he has a child out there if the birth mother never told him. Even today a birth certificate can still be signed with only the mothers name and no father listed.

I found the daughter I had to place for adoption. She does not forgive or understand at all. She posts lies about me on social media and has made threats towards me. She has made my life a misery. Yet she doesn't blame her father at all..the one who abandoned me and who, unknown to me, was engaged to someone else while dating me.

They feel robbed of their families. He probably has had a good life and is not in need of other people anymore at this stage of his life.

I hate how she blames herself as being a teen that got into trouble, how she says her dad predicted it. More than likely, other than it being a simple human mistake, perhaps her dad was over bearing or emotionally unavailable. It’s not JUST her fault. Parenting begets parenting.
