Her husband had deserted her and her two children and was living with her parents who were helping with the support of the two children and could not do anymore. Hwe mother was in poor health, so she was needed in the home and could not work regularly to support her children. She planned my birth to be at Riverside Hospital. She was 5'2, normally weighed 120 lbs. She dropped out of high school in the 9th grade. She had married her first husband in 1961 and he was deceased when interviewing with the adoption agency.
