At 16, this woman was released after rape her daughter for adoption
As a young girl Minka Disbrow is raped while pregnant. She gives birth to a child who gives her up for adoption. 77 years later, the story finally ends happily.
Minka Disbrow was just 16 years old when she was taken by surprise by 3 men in the forest and raped. A few weeks later, she noticed that she was pregnant, but abortion was out of the question for her at the time. Completely frightened, the young girl had to make the hardest decision of her life alone.
Secretly, she gave birth to her daughter Betty Jane nine months later, which she subsequently released for adoption. " It hurt to give it up. I only had her with me for a month. But I knew it would be best for her and I had to somehow continue my life. "
For decades, Minka tried to contact her daughter and wrote her many letters. Unfortunately without success. But she never gave up hope. Every day she prayed that she only wants to see her daughter once. "I promise not to disturb or confuse her life. I just want to see it. "
77 years later, her wish is to come true. A judge published papers on the adoption, which the now 77-year-old Ruth (her name is Betty Jane now) to see and decided to call her mother.
After years of mourning and torment, Minka can now finally embrace her daughter again. "Thats a wonder. It was as if we had never been separated. " And she not only found her daughter, but also met grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Her granddaughter Cathy LaGrow has published the book "The Waiting", which tells the dramatic story of her reunion and proves that you must never give up your dreams. The story shows how strong the bond between mother and daughter can be and that it never breaks, not even after 77 years.
