He was so proud that I was carrying HIS child.
No word of a future for US.
I was raised to be married.
I was the first to get an American college education.
I couldn’t shame the family by being the first single mother.
The US government owed me nothing.
I had no legal status after I got my BFA.
I had no country to call home.
The decision to have an abortion was made.
The entrance to clinic was being picketed. I was condemned to hell.
It took 20 plus years to acknowledge the little one that started to grow in a woman with no home.
