[quote=Anonymous]Hey OP, I have tons of sympathy for you, but your "enemy" is not that church (as awful as it may be). There were soooo many reasons why a girl would give a baby up -- parental pressure, societal pressure, her own desire to just get on with finishing school and getting married without the social stigma. The latter sounds kinda selfish, when compared with a precious child, but young women had no options. It was like, keep the baby and be ostracized by everyone with zero self-supporting prospects, or give up baby and go on (to marry and have more babies.) It has always amazed me that these generations were somehow brainwashed into giving up their own grandchildren just so neighbors thought better of them. But this happened in all religions, all parts of the country, with some exceptions (for example, black women were always more likely to keep their babies)[/quote]
