New York Times: For Women Under 30, Most Births Occur Outside Marriage
THIS STORY is already a week old, but I can't stop thinking about it. For birthmothers my age, there is no more profound contrast between the era in which we gave up our children and today's regard for single mothers. I don't think the term, "single mother" existed in 1970.

Another reason I have such huge disdain for society's taken-as-fact dictates.
Thanks for the information... I really love your blog posts... specially those on Local Tamil News
My birthmother feels just the way you do. She hid her pregnancy with me and was whisked off to a home for unwed mothers. She even hid it from her brother. Now my half-sister is actively trying to get pregnant with her boyfriend and they have no immedfiate plans to marry. Amazing the sea change in just a few decades.
This was a really interesting post to read while searching for my birth mother. Thanks for sharing. I still have hope!
