"Society never backed us! No one said to me "here, you can keep your baby, we'll look after you"

Episode 69:

This week we're straight talking Birth Mothers with Anne Marie. Anne Marie is now a psychotherapist but at 18 as an unmarried mother, she was sent to live with a family as live in help to hide her pregnancy, before being forced to give up her baby for adoption. She also tells us of her horrific experience in the hospital, not just around giving birth, how she was treated, the shame she felt, the gossip in her small town that still prevails and she tells us what it was like when she did finally reconnect with her son 

Kamron is relieved to find out he gets to complete his degree and we discuss the difficulty of social media around the podcast promotion. Allan watches the new Schumacher documentary and is riled by the "Pray Away" documentary about gay conversion therapy.
