[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP sounds like a 14  year old troll. [/quote]

My grandma came from a very religious family and had an out of wedlock son in 1938. She kept her son. She was 19. She had a lifelong relationship with both her parents and siblings, and also her children. She married and had more kids, my father being one.

Op’s details that mom was states away but somehow the church caused her to give her child up…and then is staying she wishes her mom could
have aborted her. ok. [/quote]

Just because you don't like my story doesn't mean it isn't true. The church was the daily life of her whole family. It didn't matter she didn’t live there. She was only a couple hours drive and saw her family frequently. She was steeped in the Baptist sin culture.

If you had a brain in your head you'd know there was zero support for a unwed mother in the 60s. She had to leave her job, no company wanted an employee like her. Pregnant and unmarried? She was considered a whore.

If she saw them frequently, didn’t they wonder where she’d gone when she disappeared for several months while pregnant?

Also, regarding southern Baptists… I grew up in another denomination but knew many southern Baptists. I can assure you that today they’d make no attempt to force/encourage an unwed mother to give up her baby. If you did show up at their church, they would not feel guilty since they weren’t likely there 50 years ago, & they would likely think your story was sad & offer to pray for you.  [/quote]
