This New York post writer can really write.

This is very well done NBC Today Show piece as well, although they, interestingly, omitted the fact that she has been raped and that a grandson (product of rape) became an astronaut.

Beautiful. As an adoptive parent, this is the kind of story I love to read.

It is such an awesome story, that it kind of leaves you speechless.

My father-in-law also was adopted as an infant in 1928. He too was born to a single mother with no information about his father. He never had any desire to find his birth mother, but since his death my wife and her sister was been researching her. Recently they had a breakthrough and were able to find her obituary. There were no siblings and while my wife would love to have a photo she does not want to contact any nieces or nephews as they may be unaware of her father's birth.

Great article.

Wonderful story. Just goes to show that the product of a rape is not necessarily more tragedy.

I've always loved another story, more modern. A white married woman in Boston is raped by a black man and gives up the mixed-race child for adoption. Happened in the early 1960s, not long before Roe v Wade.

Mother and daughter reunite 33 years later. Lovely story. Had it happened 10 years later, feminists would have been screaming that the woman have an abortion. Think of all the lives that would have been snuffed out by such a selfish and murderous act.
