Additional Info
My mother was a college student, fully supported by her parents. When she became pregnant her father gave her a choice--go to the home for unwed mothers and give the baby up or she would be on her own. She so regretted not being strong enough to go it alone that she has punished herself since. She only told my sister and I when I turned 40, 10 years ago. We've been searching since.
