More Reaction to: The Girls Who Went Awayby Pam Connell29 Jul 2008 02:10 AMThis is my third blog on the powerful book, The Girls Who Went Away: Women Who Surrendered Children for Adoption During the Decades Before Roe v. Wade. One disquieting aspect of the book is a letter written to the author about a 2003 adoption.

Imaginary Birthmother's Letter, Part Oneby Pam Connell04 Sep 2007 06:23 PMI tried to imagine what my daughter's birthmother might say to her if we were in contact now.
