My story sounds much like yours. I gave birth to my son in August 1969 at St Andre's but went to Webber Hospital. Such a secret back then its hard to explain to people today. We couldn't use our real first names (in case years later you might run into another girl who committed a sin) god forbid. St Andre's wasn't much help to me either. I had to keep after them all the time. I finally told them I was going to petion the courts etc, finally after nearly a year of constanly bugging them (I dealt) with Jack Feeney (this was 12 years ago) finally I got info and they contacted his aparents (he was 21). I also went back to ""The Home" and sat in my car and cried and cried, it is like you said an elderly home now. I went inside, but nothing looked very familiar to me, I am sure I tried to block most of it out. I was 17 at the time. I would also love to get in touch with a girl named Judy, we both had our sons on August 27th 1969. WE ended up telling each other our correct names I believe (its been a while) My real name is Cathy but I went by the name of Aline. This feels like the twilight zone doesn't it??? Love to talk to anyone that had the priviledge of staying at St Andres...........HA
Cathy
