Young
Still full of hope
Marry
She was 18 years old and so legally eligible to marry her. Geneviève broke him the news in the hope of getting support from him. However, the boy had other news to tell him. The girl felt the earth slipping her feet when she heard what her boyfriend told her.
The truth
He told him he is married. The information has completely broken him. She had never imagined in all her life she had to go through such a painful period. This also to such a delicate age.
Get out of school
While his belly became bigger, she realized that she could not continue going to school with her baby bump showing so clearly. She decided to withdraw. From there, she stayed at home until her delivery. His days of pregnancy did not pass without stress or problems.
An offer
Her boyfriend gathered when she opened her about her child's breeding plan together, he made her an offer. He expressed his desire to lift the child with his wife. Geneviève would not have to take care of the kid once the baby arrives in the world.
Maternal love
Well, the idea did not go well with Genevieve. She had developed a feeling of affection for her child and was devastated by the betrayal of her boyfriend. She was also scared as the girl had no idea how she was going to attack. That too without support of his family. His family started treating her as an outsider.
Nine months
The trip was not easy at all. These nine months of his life seemed to be the most difficult period of his life. But little knew it was just the beginning of a nightmare with an unrealistic end. The girl managed to spend her nine months and gave birth to her baby on May 12, 1949.
The weather
Geneviève was admitted to St. Mary's Mercy Hospital in Gary, Indiana. Finally, the day had arrived who was going to score a big change in his life. She was nervous and excited both. But what concerned most at that time, that's what she would appoint her child.
Margaret Ann
She wondered a moment and proposed the name Margaret Ann. There is a very good reason why she chose this name. One of his teachers in high school was named Margaret Ann. The woman had made her a good impression for her indomitable nature. The woman who has been afflicted by polio never let her life embarrassed by that. She decided to name her child after her teacher, he happens to be a girl.
Paper
Before moving on delivery, the hospital staff signed a paper. As the woman was young enough, they feared complications on delivery. The document, according to Genevieve, it was a directive in case she dies or fails to take care of the child. She signed it without raising any objection. After that, she was taken to the work room.
Not yet?
It was a normal delivery. Geneviève had given birth to a girl. It seemed that the test was over for Genevieve, but no, there was more to its misfortune. Shortly after delivery, she learned that her baby was dead for a few moments after birth. It was a big shot for her. She kept her in her belly for nine months who fight the bitter remarks of people only to hold her baby.
Only still
So again, the woman was alone. She had thought that with the birth of her baby, each problem would end. But fate had something else stored in the future for her. Margret Ann was no longer.
Not the only girl
Geneviève was not the only one to have lost his child, there were also many others too. In addition to the loss, these women had one more common thing. They had all become a plot. Many women from 1945 to 1973 had to give up their child if they do not seem appropriate.
Life
Margaret Ann arrived in this world on May 12, 1949. The "Documents of the Directive" that Geneviève were deceived in the signature was actually aimed at its consent to obtain Margaret Ann for adoption. The infant was sent to an orphanage the same day of his mother came out of the hospital.
Connion
Fortunately, the little girl did not have to stay there for a long time. A couple belonging to the south of California adopted Margaret baby and the late renown. She started to be known as Connie. The unknown daughter of his past began a new life in Santa Barbara. She lived a happy life. This has been like this for five years.
A good life
The girl lost her adoptive mother when she was five years old. His mother was diagnosed with cancer. Subsequently, his adoptive father married a woman who struck her. It was not the end, his father was crossing a chronic heart disease.
Alone
As she entered her adolescence, she had lost her two parents. Now the girl was alone with her abusive mother. Needless to say, she felt very lonely in these years. Tired, she started looking for her mother of birth. She would like every birthday to find her mother of birth.
The search started
It was a difficult task. Everything she knew was her name of mother of birth. Initially, she tried but everything turned out to be a distant dream. She became a nurse and quickly married. She has led a good life with her children and grandchildren. Even though she was older and had a happy life, she still lacked her mother of birth. She wanted to meet her so much.
DNA test
The 2017 Christmas turned out to be special for her. The daughter of Connie gave him an DNA test. At that time, the woman had 69 years. The kit she handed in Connie was through Ancestry.com. Connie was waiting for this moment for a very long time and when the time to receive results has become impatient.
Some time
Connie explained: "It took me a moment to use it, but when I finally got the results, I went from only three known parents (a girl and two grandchildren), to 1,600 parents. I was planted. "
Cousin
The result finally arrived after a few weeks of waiting. The result confirmed his first living cousin. His cousin has been advanced to introduce themselves. Connie asked him a single question: "Do you know a Genevieve?"
An end
Connie could not believe when she heard an answer. Maybe his search for long decades had finally finished. The newly found cousin said, "Oh, it's my aunt, and oh, by the way, she's still alive." It was an incredible moment. She had finally found her mother.
A letter
On the phone
Was deceived
She asked her why she left him immediately after birth. Geneviève told him all about the tricks she had become a victim of. And also explained: "Because she was a non-directed mother, he was told that I was dead. She continued with her life not knowing that I was still alive. "
Fly
