I was in the same situation in 1968 and believe me I was very ashamed of my situation. I was raised in church and I do believe in God. My family was very supportive. They loved me and my baby without any reservations. I did marry the baby's Dad and I am still married to him today. My baby lived to be 41 years of age and we lost him in 2010 to siezures. I know that our life here can be hard but we should not miss out on the love and support from family.
