I was born in Crossley Hospital in November 1947. My mother was a single mum and I was given up for adoption. My adoptive parents had to pick me me up from my mother at the hospital and she had to actually hand me over. I cannot imagine what that must have been like for her.I have tried to find documentation of my existence at the hospital, but have been told by the SA that records were destroyed in a fire. I would like to know how my mother ended up there when her family home was in County Durham. Any ideas please.....funkyoap
