Part 2: The daughter I gave up for adoption had a daughter she gave up for adoption

Continuing the story of a granddaughter lost to adoption, and later found:

Upon recovering from the shock of learning that my daughter, Jane, whom I gave up for adoption, now had a daughter she was planning to give up for adoption, I thought: Well, at least she won't have to go what I went through. She'll be able to place her daughter in an "open adoption," where she would always know where her daughter was, who her adoptive parents where, she or I would be available in case the adoption did not work out. It was 1986, and while open adoptions were not as commonplace as they are today, they were possible then, and, I believe, in Wisconsin. (In fact, I think they were pioneered there and in Traverse, City, Michigan, and if anybody has any information to add about this, please do!) So I started talking about open adoption to Jane, but it was falling on deaf ears.
