Why Couldn’t She See Her Child Though?

One of the more pertinent questions is why she couldn’t go find her son after she was told that her he was adopted? Surely the orphanage had contact details for the foster family. Then again, this was during the mid-20th century, there were hardly any landlines let alone cellphones, and people often moved around for better opportunities, leaiving no details to track them down.

Of course, even mothers who give their children up for adoption are still allowed to see their children. This is especially true if it is open adoption, where the birth parents and foster parents maintain a connection after the process is complete.
