When Nancy Womac gave birth 42 years ago, she was never able to even hold her child before the little girl was taken from her. Now, thanks to a DNA test, she has finally reunited with her daughter.<\/p>\n

Womac sat down for an interview with NBC News<\/a> to tell her story, explaining that she was 16 and living in an orphanage in Georgia when she discovered she was pregnant. In order to avoid “shame,” the orphanage director sent Womac to Bethesda Home for Girls in Mississippi, a home that billed itself as a place where troubled pregnant girls would learn discipline and find God. In reality, she and many of the other girls in the home were routinely abused before their babies were taken from them and placed with adoptive families. All details of the adoptions were kept closed.<\/p>\n
