Get out the Kleenex. This is a good story about a woman being reunited with the daughter she gave up for adoption after a rape:
For most of her 100 years, Minka Disbrow tried to find out what became of the precious baby girl she gave up for adoption after being raped as a teen. She hoped, but never imagined, she’d see her Betty Jane again. The cruel act of violence bore in Disbrow an enduring love for the child. She kept a black and white photograph of the baby bundled in blankets and tucked inside a basket….
[Betty Jane’s] name was now Ruth Lee. She had been raised by a Norwegian pastor and his wife and had gone on to marry and have six children including the Alabama man, a teacher and astronaut Mark Lee, a veteran of four space flights who has circled the world 517 times. She worked for nearly 20 years at Walmart — and especially enjoyed tending to the garden area.
Recall how many stand in favour of abortion in cases of rape. Betty Jane would not likely have been born today.








Love works miracles every day; such as weakening the strong, and strengthening the weak; making fools of the wise, and wise men of fools; favouring the passions, destroying reason, and, in a word, turning everything topsy-turvy.
This is a wonderful story of life and love and the positive aspects of adoption. Thank you for telling this. I pray that it will encourage more people to choose adoption.
