In the first half of the 20th century, unwed teenage mothers were severely looked down upon. They would be sent away to convents, mental institutions, or other places to have their babies. Then they would return, having been forced to give the child up in most cases. In Chicago in the 1950s, women would have typically been sent to Catholic churches to have their babies. The children were then adopted out, often coercively.
