It might help to suggest she talk to other (birth)mothers of her era, Baby Scoop Era, so that she might understand what a miricle it is for us to have our "lost" children back in our lives again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19705400.post-1138602565740907652006-01-30T00:29:00.000-06:002006-01-30T00:29:00.000-06:00You're also in my thoughts too, Amy.

Such irony - almost nothing that I feared and worried about for years came to pass - nearly everyone took my news well and reached out to love and support me. Let's hope that your other mother is able to deal with this soon and receives positive support from those around her.<BR/><BR/>And yes, keep speaking out - we all need to!Cookiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09360315335057586498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19705400.post-1138532828173072852006-01-29T05:07:00.000-06:002006-01-29T05:07:00.000-06:00I admire your strength in speaking up and speaking...I admire your strength in speaking up and speaking out.

The fear that it will be found out. That her kids will see her as a bad woman, that her community will think she's bad. This has loomed over her for years. Give her a chance to get over all those fears and all those battles. It may take her time. It may take her kids getting older....but she will face her demons eventually. She asked about you---that's a good sign she's thought all these years......i pray she comes to terms with it all. I know it's important to know where you came from. I had to know too.petuniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01329221084413499431noreply@blogger.com
