Pregnant Woman
1954 Expectant mother Irene Shaw holds a puppy, named Candy, that was given to her. Irene gave her baby up for adoption and was given the puppy as a way to help ease the loss and transition.
Reid and Verne stand with Irene and their dog Shep. Reid and Verne are the adoptive parents' children. The baby in the womb of Irene is a girl and her name is Claire.
Claire is my mother, and I am so glad that Irene decided to give her up for adoption rather than abort her. This month, October, is pregnancy and Infant loss awareness month, which is why I am posting this picture now.
I did not take this photograph, my grandmother was the photographer.
