Mother & Daughter Reunited - Shar's Story

In 1966 I did the worst possible thing a young woman could do... I became pregnant and was not married. I went into hiding for five months and delivered a beautiful baby girl on June 1, 1966. With my heart and soul shrieking in pain, I surrendered my baby for adoption, whispering to her to come back and find me someday.

Shar's Story is my adoption/reunion journey, beginning with that horrific experience losing her, and culminating in her choice to find me and create an incredibly joyful reunion for both our families. The 'story within the story'describes the path I took from shame and disgrace to forgiveness and love. Coincidences abound in this book!

@Punkette151617

Do you know anything about your background, such as the town you were born in? If so, that can be a starting point for finding the information you want without going through the agency.

I think it was 5 I'm not sure. yeah thats all I know so far

my dad and my step mom divorced when i was 5 and i lived with my dad and made so many friends. but I always wonder about my step mom and I remember her. I just wanna see her face or if she got remarried or anything. The only things I found were some stuff about houses online but I can't do anything with that since it says they sold it then bought it then sold it again so nothing I can do. I only knew her first name so what I did was I searched my fathers name and found her last name. Thats it.

did you miss the other cmment from hudfadz as to why would you give your baby away and calling the lady a heartless bitch who can have sympathy or even empathy for someone like that

[jig678]

read the profile anti jewish Australian muslim, check out the details before you also make a comment, I am also adopted so know from experience not just hearsay my compassion go to this lady and her daughter not to someone who can just say if the mother can eat and survive so can the baby. Stupid comment would you say. Nothing has made him her this way thats just what they are.

quran? where does hudfadz say she/he is muslim? jig678 maybe you should take your own advice and don't pre-judge someone. obviously hudfadz has little life experience and compassion. it's too bad he/she wasn't adopted by a more tolerant and loving family. jig678 made heart-less comments. it's very sad to think what might have made them that way.

I don't know why people keep saying "back then it was shameful" It is still considered shameful today. People just don't admit as much because they don't want to be looked at as intolerant, but these women are still looked down upon. They do have more government help which is good, but I don't think society has really changed that much. If I were a teenager in high school today, I would be embarrassed to be an unwed mother and that people would call my child a bastard. Sad but true.
