The year was 1962, and in Southern California, a pregnant teenager
was facing a difficult decision. As a young, unwed girl, Mary Lynn
Sheridan wasn’t sure she was ready for a child.

She drove with two friends to an abortion clinic over the Mexican border.
However, while on the drive to the clinic, Mary Lynn had a change of
heart. The young mother decided against the plan, and sometime later
gave birth to a healthy baby boy at an unwed mother’s home in Los
Angeles. She gave the baby up for adoption and 6 weeks later, a
wonderful couple brought him home and into a loving family.
