Fetch Waiting To Forget: A Motherhood Lost And Found Presented By Margaret Moorman Distributed As Publication

found the author rather annoying at times, I know she was onlywhen she gave birth to her son, At one point she said she thought she would have gotten over it better, if she could have had an abortion, My feelings are, that either choice will leave a woman with feelings, that last a life time, I don't think there is an easy answer to an unwanted pregnancy, I met a young woman outside of my son's school, who was with a group advocating against abortion, I talked with her, and she told me she was forced to have an abortion, by her mother, and she didn't want anyone else to go through that horrible experience.


Very good but too drawn out, Described in the New York Times Book as "uniquely enlightening," Waiting to Forget is a mother's story of coming to terms with the child she gave up for adoption over thirty years ago.
InMargaret Moorman was unmarried, pregnant, and still in high school, Forced by societal pressures to give her baby up, she suffered emotional trauma both before and for years after the birth, At forty, she gave birth to a daughter and found herself terrified by the possibility of losing her younger child, a fear she can now trace back to her uncertain decision to give up her son.




Moorman discusses both her own complicated feelings of loss and motherhood and the issue of adoption from the often overlooked point of view of a

birth parent.
