I’m confused too. Who raised her?
Her mother was an unmarried 19 yr old college student. She carried her daughter for 8 months before the failed abortion took place.
After she was born alive, her mother decided to let her be adopted. So she was, by a very loving family.
There is a video at the bottom of the link which explained this part of her story.
I think what the birth mother regrets is that she didn’t run away from her abusive family earlier. The relationship was always strained, and never became a loving one, so ties were severed later on. She regretted not leaving her family earlier than she did.
