Surrey / Re: Assisi Mother & Baby Homes
« on: Saturday 22 July 17 15:34 BST (UK) »
Hi Siobhan,
I was in Assisi in Feb ,March ,April of 1968. Like your Mum i kept my baby. I am happy to share my contact details with you. Everybody's memories are personal.
Mine was of an establishment surviving on a shoestring ,minimal staff with a heavy workload and everyone who stayed there sharing the load.
M&B homes are sad places , most young mothers knowing they are going to part with their babies forever. Because of circumstances what should be the happiest occasion in their lives becomes the saddest , and often without the support of family or friends. It over shadows the rest of their lives . There is no escaping it.
Do you think your Mum finds it difficult to talk about that period in her life and would rather you did'nt either, she did'nt have you adopted so the years following Assisi could have been even more difficult for her.
I will be happy to help you and wish you well.
