Especially since she visited a friend in Seattle shortly after his birth and didn’t even know how to change his diaper.
Exactly, and one of the only places she would have been where she wouldn’t have learned to change a diaper would have been a home for unwed mothers, contact between mothers and babies was discouraged. I wonder if her parents made a deal with her that she could go to UW as she had wanted if she went to a home and gave the baby up for adoption, but then changed her mind which resulted in the birth registration etc.
