Additional Info
Erin was born just after her dad left me. We had been engaged to be married. My mother sent me to the home for unwed mothers, Crittendon, and that’s where I had to give her up. Catholic Social Services told me it took 6 weeks for Erin to be adopted, as there was a birth defect of some kind that was corrected. It may have been a clubbed foot. She looked just like me and her dad. Black long hair, cute cheeks, dark eyes, she was precious and beautiful! I always had a sense that she was adopted by someone outside of Detroit, just a feeling. I still dream of her. She has eight siblings, two by me, six by her dad.
