Snipped by me.
Here are a few more details.
Rose was the 2nd oldest of 6 kids. Laurie was younger than Rose. She was 1 of 3 from the same parents with 3 younger from another Father.
Rose had 2 children, Rose came home to an unresponsive child & back then she was left at fault & given a year in jail. She was living with Kevin Burns at the time. Burns passed away back in the 80's Laurie thinks. After that Rose's parents convinced her to give up her other child without discussing other options with their family.
ETA: After talking to Laurie we aren't sure if Rose did tell her mother about the baby. But when she called on 3/14 talk in the family is that Rose's mother told her she had made her bed & needed to lie in it. We aren't positive if that in fact did happen or if it did what Rose told her. IE about the baby, about getting kicked out, etc.
Thank you for clarifying. Really sucks she was put in jail for her son's death. We know more now that he probably passed from SIDS.
As for putting her son for adoption; parents had a huge influence on us kids back then. My dad wanted me to terminate my son when I was pregnant at 20 but I did not; ended up marrying the father but it did not last. My dad eventually accepted my decision; was the 1st one at the hospital when I was in labor & was very close to my son; was the apple of my dads eyes.
Look at Aundria Bowman's bio-mom Cathy. She found herself divorced when Alexis (birth name) was 5 months old. Cathy was 17; her mom made the arrangements. Back then Cathy was in no shape to even question it; she had gone back home, found out her mom was very ill from breast cancer & had lost a breast. Adoption was very "popular" back then; I learned in my 30's that I had an older 1/2 brother that was put for adoption. There was a lot of shame to be pregnant & not married or to be a single parent. There also was no WIC; even if there were services; we may not have qualified. I know I did not even making minimum wage in 87 when I was divorced. I had applied for section 8 housing.
So the circumstances around Rose putting her child for adoption was very common.
