Florence Crittendon NC

Yes Florence Crittendon had only one home in NC
and it was in Charlotte. It was located across
the street from Charlotte Memorial Hospital, now
Carolinas Medical Center. Girls were there an
average of 4 months. Doctors came to the home
once a week for clinic and when it was time for
a girl to deliver she was "walked over" by one of
the nurses (one was on duty at all times). Girls
usually had two social workers, one from the home
and one from their adoption agency. Most of the
workers there were kind and compassionate, a
couple were you-know-whats. Some very close
friendships were formed there and lasted for years
among girls, usually roommates. Thirty four years
after leaving "Flo's Place" as we called it, after being
reunited with my daughter I helped my roommate
and a couple of other girls who were there with me
to find theirs. If you have questions about the home
you can send me a private message anytime.
