I'll take this opportunity to talk about a potential question to be asked here.

Why did she raise my father as a single parent rather than giving him up for #adoption?

It was certainly something that happened with many illegitimate children, even in the 1940s.

It's never, however, been entirely as ubiquitous a practice as people assume.

Having experience with #Genealogy at this stage, I'm now familiar with other examples of mothers keeping their children even in the late #19thcentury. 27/?
