Destinies of Mothers, Destinies of Children From abandon to reunion

What does a mother show by giving birth anonymously ? What is it that drives her, sometimes, to again look for the child she has abandoned ? And what drives the latter — the former abandoned child himself — to go in search of his origins ? Are the goals and expectations of the child the same as those of the mother ? For the first time, children born “by X,” today adults, bear witness. Georgina Souty coordinates a French organization which seeks the right to the origins of abandoned children Pascal Dupont, who was born “ by X ”, was adopted when he was four months old.
