Thank you Mojo9 the information provided. I am trying to build an accurate picture of the events surrounding my adoption.
As an adopted child I feel like a book with the first few chapters missing ( to borrow someone else's rather pertinent description).
I have made contact with my birth family but the information provided by my birth mother is, at best, confused.
Then three months ago I became aware that as an adopted child, I was legally entitled to have my adoption files opened, including access to the records held by the Quarry.
This week my adoption file was sent to my Approved Intermediary so shortly it's secrets will be revealed.
I do not have an issue with being placed for adoption or her motives for doing it but it is important to me to get to the real truth - whatever that looks like.
I would be interested to hear from mothers like you as to how the adoption felt/affected you at the time and how it feels/affects you, if it all, 40+ years on. It is easy to forget there are two sides to every story.
Anway, thanks again for the post. If you wish to reply, privately or otherwise, I would be genuinely interested in what you have to say.
