Le sceau de confidentialité a été levé, sur plus de 300 000 dossiers d'adoption - dont le mien. Cette loi donne désormais aux orphelins et aux enfants adoptés entre les années 1920 et 1970, la possibilité de connaitre l'identité de leurs parents biologiques.>INVITATION >Merci de me lire.J'aimerais beaucoup vous lire aussi, alors si le coeur vous en dit, je vous invite à m'écrire. http: //www.amazon.com/dp/B07VCZB4SW

BERTHE My Mother's Silence is a true story>CLARIFICATIONS: In the 1950s, the Catholic religion dictated the conduct of French Canadians. For example, a young unwed mother was considered the shame of her family and society. To prevent gossip, the pregnant girl was often sent to a remote place, unsuspected by everyone. Alternatively, she might be confined to a convent, in the care of the "good sisters," the nuns.For the younger ones at home, as well as for the family and the neighborhood, the parents justified the absence of their pregnant daughter by saying she was studying in town or had gone to work in the countryside. They invented all sorts of well-crafted lies, beautiful stories to shield the secret and avoid scandal. Nobody knew that the exiled girl had a baby. Some of these children became the "last-born" of the mother, but most were adopted. They might find out about it one day, sometimes twenty, thirty, or even forty years later.>NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: >UPDATE: >BERTHE My Mother's Silence is the story of my own adoption. You may choose the paperback version or the Kindle book to read on your computer, your tablet and your cellular phone.
