Good for you Cupcake keeping and bringing up your son in 1971. If you lived in Ireland in '71 it would'nt have been possible. It happened to a friend of mine at the time and she was made give her baby up for adoption. Thankfully now they have been reunited .

I laughed out loud when I read your post Sue11 about your mother and the neighbour.

I'm sure you did'nt laugh at the time but when we got married in '77 we had our house about six months before the wedding and there was NO question about moving in together before the big day.

How times have changed. For the better in my opinion.
