My birth mother - Mary Margaret Morris-Lener. It was here decision in June of 1957 to have my twin brother, John and I placed in The Children's Home. She passed away a few days later. I felt she loved me very much to have given me up to a much better life then she could have given me. I thank her for that from the bottom of my heart. Her and my adopted parents prayers were answered. She had it in the records she wanted us to have a good life with a good family. As you can see I look exactly like her.
Thank you Gaynor & Harold, it certainly was an exceptional children's home and I have connected many ones that were in the home with me with their families. Yes I was adopted into a very loving family. I felt God had his hand on me guiding me into a loving home. Since I learned so much about my biological family. There are 7 other siblings I knew nothing about. I will post photos too. It has been an awesome journey to say the least.
Janet, your resemblance to your mother is amazing! She remains forever young.

It sounds as though that children's home was exceptional; you were fortunate to go there and to have a wonderful adoptive family.
Wow Janet! What a wonderful, touching story!
