I saw this post about a young woman posting her picture with a sign about which town she was left in a hospital and a birth date. And I can’t help but think about the birth mother, who gave her to adoption for whatever reason. What reason? A rape? Incest? An abusive boyfriend? It being a 10th child that she couldn’t afford to keep? An unintended pregnancy that would have interrupted her future?
Now this young person’s face is on the inernet all over the hometown of the birth mother, possibly looking like her, possibly like the father.
And no idea whether this forced reveal will cause pain or horror.
When I see these things, I don’t feel like it is moral to publicly announce one’s search. And even private searches seem so fraught.
