I'm surprised she told him that but it probably helped her get over the guilt, it's a big life lesson. My mother is pretty liberal but I'm grateful that when it came to myself and my siblings she chose life. She got pregnant when she was 19 and gave my older sister up for adoption and never told us about her. A little over 10 years ago my older sister found my family and we are now all friends. What a gift adoption is, there is no need to kill a baby when there are so many people willing to adopt if you can't raise the baby.
