Additional Info
My mom was 19, and her boyfriend at the time was either 19 or 20, when she gave birth to him. He was born April 9th 1972 (or near that date). She gave birth in Kissimmee FL or Orlando FL possibly at St Cloud Hospital. She stated she kept him for two months, but she was too young to raise a baby on her own. She was promised by Catholic Charities, that they had a family that was ready to take him the next day, and he would be loved. He was given up for adoption at two months old in June 1972.
