    What she said is true...in the 60`s there was not very much..the dilemma of girls who got pregnant outside of wedlock was so different than it is now.

    I find it very difficult to understand how so many mothers would willingly hand over their children

    perhaps it was just a sign of the times

    God this makes me so sad. I'm having a baby in the next few days, we are not married and the thought that I would have to give him up, just heartbreaking. :(

    Bloody hell though, it really isnt all that long ago this was going on...

    When I was a young wan the back pages in Cosmo and Marie Claire had all the abortion clinic ads blanked out. if you had a scare it really was scary stuff. Must have been hell for the likes of this woman.

    I know, I am that old (not her, but was a kid in the 60s) and vividly remember the backward way of life here then from my annual summer visits. It sounded like 'no money for yokels' was in vogue.

    Willingly? You having a laugh? There was no choice, you face being disowned, there was the social stigma, no lone parents etc

    I had my child in 1997 when I was a teenager and even then faced huge pressure to have her adopted and that was 30 years later!

    AngryBollix, meet Signostic. The Catholic "shame" had a lot to do with it. It's difficult for us to get our heads around this in 2012, but 40/50 years ago this country was another planet.

    Many a mother kept and raised their daughter's kid as their own, others conspired to ignore that anything had happened and still others banished their daughters from any contact ever. A very cruel world, truth be told.

    Remember the Kerry babies scandal? And the Granard scandal too?? Wasn't that the 80's??

    Try matching up watching Top of the Pops with all that going on in rural Ireland at the same time.
