Christine’s parents and family live nearby...my guess is “Would you keep the baby?” was said a lot those days. Especially if they used the excuse of “We need to go buy Christmas stuff for her.”
**”Would you keep the baby? was said a lot those days.**
Has anything been confirmed that Maria was truly planning to keep the baby? i.e. had she prepared a nursery area in Durham’s home? Purchased any clothing, diapers etc.,?
Was there any possibility she had found an adoptive couple in Texas to pay her expenses and keep the baby following childbirth?
She may have told Laurean some or all of her plans - and they didn’t include exonerating him from rape charges or allowing him to know whether the child was his.
I thought Christine’s parents live in Ohio. Her sister and b-i-l live in J’ville.
