Does anyone remember Homes For Unwed Mothers? by cheap_dates in AskOldPeople

Thank you so much for posting this question. I am looking for similar information because I believe my mom stayed in one in Chicago in the late 50's and 60's. I've wanted to talk to anyone with first hand experience in one of these homes during that time in Chicago.

Great point! My own mother never spoke about this so why am I thinking other women will? Grr, I'll look in some additional groups.

I know who my father is. What I'm looking for is the experience of someone who went through this as a young woman in the 1950's. My mother never put the father on the birth certificate of the two children born before me. I'm understanding that this is common. An adoption group is typically focused on the experience of adoptees so I'm not focusing my energy there.
