We are coming out, thanks to women like Lorraine and Jane. We are finding our voices and our sea legs. Thank you for encouraging those of us still crouching in the closet. We are seeing the light in the door that has been cracked ajar. Our grown babies are calling for us, and we are coming out.

I've often read of those small similarities when first parents meet the child they gave up. Similar likes in food, clothing, movies, books. <br /><br />Linda Carroll also wrote a memoir, "Her Mother's Daughter". She describes Courtney as a difficult child. Courtney ran away and got into the drug scene. Carroll lives in Corvallis, OR. She is a marriage and family therapist. https://therapists.psychologytoday.com/rms/name/Linda_A._Carroll-Barraud_Corvallis_Oregon_39520Jane Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715622112694146946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-574300303008890516.post-77964721100054004812017-03-04T15:56:55.543-05:002017-03-04T15:56:55.543-05:00I like your comment about coming out.
