I saw it with my aunts and uncle when I was home for the holidays.

It gave me the opportunity to educate them about the Baby Scoop Era, a chapter that most Americans don't even know happened. It was good to provide that information to people who had been in the dark.

My aunt did say that she knew one girl in high school who "went away" for awhile.
