This is just a story of one among the hundreds of thousands of mothers that got victimized by Canada's forced adoption from unwed mothers which were forced to give up their babies to get adopted by traditional families. Hanne Anderson was only 15 years of age when she gave birth to her daughter in one of the 60 church-run homes in Canada. She was told to forget about her child, to get married and have another child/children and meanwhile they told her to get a puppy instead to cuddle.
What was also unforgiving was the fact that she was isolated from her own family too. Her parents are somewhat threatened that if they won't cooperate with the government they will get deported as they are immigrants from Europe.
Mothers that gave birth to their babies are denied of even seeing their babies much less holding and feeding them. Some didn't even get the chance to know if their child was a boy or a girl because they were told that it is none of their business.
Hanne Andersen had the chance to hold her baby but she was drugged until she passed-out. She thought that she will never see her daughter again but after 23 years her daughter found her. They started to talk for months to establish relationship, getting to know each other, and trust, etc. She also learned that the church run homes told her daughter that her mother was a prostitute and a drug addict.
