Baby Girl Born in 1952 (possibly in winter).
Mother was Leona Dupras of Gracefield, Quebec and likely has no known father's name listed on the birth certificate.
Mother - Leona Dupras was born February 14, 1933 and would have been 17 years old when her only child was born.
The baby girl is said to have been given the name Marie Therese.
Marie Therese would have been born in Montreal in a home for unwed mothers possibly in a home run by Les Soueres de La Misere in Montreal.
Leona never married and never had other children. She has a large family who have always wondered about her and where she was.
We are told that Leona received a letter confirming the adoption about a year after the birth and simply told her father - "It's all over now".
Leona kept an extensive diary of her life after the birth. She collected money that she donated to the charity that helped her find a home for her daughter.
To her family, she was known as Aunt Leona and she loved babies. She has passed and the family that remains would like to find Marie Therese to let her know that she was never forgotten by her mother and her birth family who have so much to share with Marie Therese about the circumstances that lead to her adoption.
Marie Therese was loved by her birth mother who did make the decision to have her daughter adopted so she would have e better life than Leona would have been able to offer as a single mother in a small farming community. It was a decision made to give her daughter a better life with parents of means.
