My beautiful Italian mother was pregnant @ 16 in 1956 and the father was 18 and went off into the Air Force, not knowing she was pregnant. She called him and told him as family were telling her to give the baby up for adoption. The father asked for a pass so he could fly to her as he was stationed in Texas. The Air Force gave him a 3 day pass. In those 3 days he married her🥰 They were so in love and ended up having 6 more children 🥰❤️ I am number 6 out of 7 siblings. My Dad was such an amazing man and we had the best childhood ever. My wonderful father passed away a few years ago and I miss him everyday😢 My mom is an amazing women and I’m so thankful she’s still here with us🙏🏻 My father passed just 2 months before their 60th anniversary. They were still madly in love until his last breath with her on this earth ❤️

When I was about 6, one of my mum's friends, who turned up at our house with her baby son . I asked, 'Where's Auntie Joan's husband?' My parents told me , 'He ran away.' (True in a way. Joan thought he boyfriend would do the decent thing, but he said, 'I never said I'd get married.' Years later, Mum showed me a letter where Joan said, 'I had a son, and yes, I am keeping him.' It was almost expected that unwed mothers gave their babies for adoption then, and many were guilted about being selfish. 'Do you want your child to be called a bastard?' I think some people even regarded an unwed woman's miscarriage as a 'blessing in disguise, ' though they would not say the same to a widow.

[@chetyoubetya8565]

Adoption isn't what your child can do for you it's wanting a better future for your child. I gave my child up for adoption and though it was the hardest thing I have ever done the situation would have left my son with a miserable life that I would not be able to love away. His parents are the two loveliest people you could ever meet and every dream I had for him growing up came true. Adoption is not a bad thing, but I had to do what was best for him not for me.

[@rosemerrynmcmillan1611]

This movie opens the door to the standards and culture of the 1950s. You could see godly standards still prevailed but a much looser more sinful culture was taking over. Chaperone laws for young women were abolished in the late 1930's and this led to much of our societal decay and corruption of innocent naive young women. Read the story of the folk singer Joni Mitchell who gave her baby up for adoption and how it tortured her emotionally for years and how she finally found her daughter. She details the confusing double standards where young women were being exposed to more and more sexy movies and influences. Parents were being pressured to "go along with it" and allow their teen girls unsupervised time on their own with boys. What did they "literally" expect to happen?? Teen pregnancies SHOT UP in the 50s and 60s and unwed mothers homes were full to overflowing. Joni Mitchell couldn't even get into one and was on her own struggling and never told her parents what happened. Then came the social development of "cohabitation" in the late 60s early 70s on having children and not even bothering to get married. Heh this was the new "advanced" Age of Aquarius ra ra ra. We lived thru it and all we boomers experienced its reality, its emotional trauma ect in one way or another. To leave Gods way of doing things is a hard way to tread. Many of us look back and wish we had had strong protective Christian parents or relatives who cared about us enough to protect and guide us. Truly the 50s and 60s were a minefield. Thank God Jesus saved me eventually. To God be the Glory...

When she saw my hips they were bruised from someone sticking me with the pins for fun while changing my diaper. Today we are okay. It was 64 years ago. We found her later.

SPOILER ALERT: Great ending! And not what I expected given the prevailing attitude of the day. A whole industry depended upon convincing "wayward" girls that they didn't deserve to keep their babies and that a nice, adoptive couple could do a better job raising them. I know from firsthand experience how girls were coerced into giving up their babies only to regret it for the rest of their lives. Love how this ended (except that I wish the older couple had offered to help Betty raise her child in exchange for being "grandparents" to her baby, that would be have been perfect.). Bet the adoption industry hated this film because it might convince girls to keep their babies like Betty did.

Where are the fathers? Just like then, the same holds true today. Father absence in the home has long term, lasting consequences.

There is no other love that can replace a father’s love.

Saw this one last night and loved it for its clean-living, 50's feel. Oh yes, the colorization of this classic was TOPS too. In a nutshell: its about a simple, country-girl [played to perfection by sweet Norma Moore], who comes to the big city from the country and meets at her departmental store workplace an out and out grifter. He is such a smooth, fast-talking grifter, he sweeps her off her feat, romances and impregnates her, swindles her of her pay-cheques before dropping her. Part of his agenda includes humping the owner of the departmental store [an older woman]. She fires him once she learns of his philandering ways, and a rich socialite whom he is eager to marry for her money. This two-bit role is played by Kathleen Hughes. Robert Vaughn shines in a morally ambiguous role. The film is testament to his mastery at playing dark and delirious characters and, here, he raises the bar once again. Robert was no newcomer to dark characters as he proved earlier in the box-office winner, The Young Philadelphians starring Paul Newman and Barbara Rush. Here he played an alcoholic war victim, grappling with the loss of a leg and taking this discomfiture out on anyone who crossed his path. The Young Philadelphians earned him an Oscar and Golden Globe nod. In 'Magnificent 7', he was superb as the hired gunslinger. To the world, Robert Vaughn will best be remembered as the iconic, suave and sophisticated Napoleon Solo in the hit series "The man from UNCLE" that played for several seasons and spawned several movies for MGM. Robert was an erudite man who was active in Democratic Party Politics and held a PhD in communications.

I remember the story of few siblings from Poland adopted by an American couple. Seems they were narcissistic, weren't good parents. They separated children, ill treated them. Nightmare instead of 'better' life.

Correct.

imagine being a 21st century jerk in 1958!! that guy played that playboy-mooch-dusty role so well. I didn't think guys like him existed so long ago, this is insane. I really enjoyed this movie

[@josweetlove1537]

@ZNMelowLeloNeka there is nothing new under the sun; all things being done, have already been done. The Bible says this.

[@GillianBergh]

Jerk maybe a 21st Century term, but they have existed long before that, under different names. In 1958, they were called cads.

[@Naijella86]

It’s insane because this is just like the ‘Tinder swindler’ and the woman in ‘Who the F did I marry’ from TikTok. It’s insane this was going on over 60 years ago

It's sad because I got pregnant at 17 and it was no big thing because all I had to do was get on food stamps luckily my husband yes husband we got legally married at 18 he had a good job so I didn't get on welfare till yrs later but I was raised it's ok go on welfare like it's nothing I realize now that I don't have to live like that, none of my children live off the system they all work jobs for there family and kids .

I’m glad to hear you got married; it’s always nice hearing about teenage mothers that made it work and married the man that impregnated them

[@pauladouglas9891]

In these old movies, they never call the paramedics or go to the ER, the doctors always make a house call. When did she have time to get pregnant? She barely kissed him.

[@lds251]

There were no paramedics or even 911 back then. Drs made Housecalls if you were too sick to come in. @pauladouglas9

[@sparkysmom7149]

If any man happens to watch this movie, could you please answer this question...Why are ALL MEN like this? Why arent there any REAL MEN who actually WANT to love and take care of a woman who loves him and takes care of him? I'd REALLY like to know the TRUTH. Im 60 years old, and this happened to me TWICE. I trusted and believed in two men. And i ended up being used, hurt, humiliated, and a single mother. How does a man justify doing this to a woman?

[@jennamont6618]

I’m not a man but not all men are like these dudes. But interestingly enough, some men during these years harassed women with impunity. Then Hollywood made movies that portrayed men harassing women with impunity. It was absolutely wrong, but acceptable, apparently.

[@Raggedy-Ann]

I mean you no disrespect because I have had men manipulate me into doing things but after it happened to you the first time how, or rather what transpired that enabled it to happen a second time please? Normally I wouldn’t ask because it’s none of my business but you have put it out in the public domain. Not all men are like this btw

[@ultimateoptimist5217]

This stuff unfortunately happens more now because society has normalized it....

[@lwills8609]

Trust and believe, it happened a lot back then too. More people now so you see more of it. Where do you think all of those orphans came from? From where do you think all of those adoptive parents adopted their children? How many people out there are still discovering, or have already discovered that their sibling is actually their mother or father? There were a lot of abandoned babies. Also, these are the people who had secret abortions. Certain people just knew how to hide their "sins" better. The people now want you to think life was perfect back then and things like this was so rare. Not rare, just better at hiding.

[@vincenzolee6576]

I think a great ending would have been if the older couple took mother and baby home. They would have been terrific grandparents!❤

[@karenstrong8887]

That was a really hard decision back then. The homes and people were not that nice in my Country. I grew up in a holiday area and I nearly died having my 1st baby and so did he. I was admitted in labour 12 weeks early and the head Nurse didn’t believe I was married because there was so much fluid in my fingers my wedding ring came off at 10 weeks. She threw me into a room with unwed Mothers, that didn’t bother me. What did was the way they were treated and forced to sign away their babies. A marriage certificate does not make a Mother and they lied, yelled and were cruel. I told one her rights even though I knew the head Nurse would hit me again, back then I thought she had the right to do so. That Mother took her baby home where her Mother had prepared a Nursery. She was happy to support her daughter. I was in Labour for four and a half days, no Doctor was called and my son was barely alive from being held back so long.

[@silviamonz2062]

So glad you survived all this,my sincere respect and all the best to you, greetings from Germany ❤

[@hannahnpmungamuri8516]

​@@jhlfsc criminals are NOT born. An American was indoctrinated to defect to ISIS ! We counsel them until they are healed. We should NEVER get pregnant without a marriage license. It is more dangerous to others than driving without a driver's license.

Adorei o filme infelizmente muitas não tiveram essa oportunidade essa garra de querer ter a força determinação pra cuidarem de seus filhos meninas que foram enganadas desde esse tempo em que eu ainda não era nascida sou de 87 e já havia homens maldosos que tiraram o direito dessas moças se casarem virgem com um homem bom honesto que quisessem realmente se casar antes de se relacionarem. E muitas moças morreram fazendo abortos que dó outras tiraram a vida de um inocente por dor ódio do que elas passaram por serem enganadas por esses homens sem caráter. 😢

Child is not a thing one can sell, treat like an object. People who think so created some 50 labs in Ukr. When war started in each was around 100 babies. Due to restrictions buyers couldn't collect them. This situation, lack of deep connection affects the brain, makes baby feel rejected for life time. Child can even die.
