St. Faith's House 1973
I was there from April to August 1973. I believe my group was one of the last of unwed mothers before it became a children's home. It was not a bad place for what it was. The staff tried to make it as good an experience as it could be under the circumstances. My son was born August 2 1973 at St. Johns Riverside Hospital in Yonkers. Family Services of Westchester handled the actual adoption. I was not told much about the adoptive parents except they were unable to have children of their own and the woman enjoyed crafting. I have always regretted giving up my son but at the time I didn't think I had any other choice. I would love to hear from anyone who was at the home from any year.
