It was September 1967, flying to begin my freshman year at Santa Clara University. I was given a 5-cigarette pack with my meal. I split that pack with two other girls in my dorm. And I smoked for another 15.5 years.

Hi, Gretchen, I am a birth mother who is deeply thankful for all you have done to shine a light on adoptees and birth mothers and fathers.

We birth mothers were also brainwashed to believe we didnβt have the right to search for the children we surrendered. This was not intended to protect us or our children. Secrecy was, and is, designed to protect adoptive parents and the adoption industry.

Nope. We were a post- war baby boom as returning service men and women began having (or adding to their) families.

I am old enough to remember an episode of the Marcus Welty tv show where the murdered nearly got a way with murdering his victim because he staged it as a driving accident, hitting him with his car.

Repealing the VPPP eliminates the only applicable exception to the law which prohibits using tolls on federal aid highways for transit. Repealing the VPPP means the end of NYCβs congestion pricing program (unless Congress also rescinds the law prohibiting the use of tolls for transit).
