What on earth did these women think was going to happen? Didn’t they realize they were very pregnant? Couldn’t they have put these precious babies up for adoption? What kind of cruelty is this? One girl was brought there by her aunt. Where was the mother?
Adoption would leave these women wondering what ever became of their child, or dreading a knock on the door twenty years later. Their choice is to avoid that altogether, and give them a sick kind of closure.
