About the Lynn Franklin Fund
Lynn Franklin is a first/birth mother, writer and literary agent who has been in reunion for over 20 years. The fund bearing her name was created to honor Lynn’s life and service on behalf of adoption reform. It will be dedicated to enabling unique, important work to improve the lives of birth/first parents everywhere – and to ensure that their experiences, needs and aspirations are addressed in all adoption-related laws, policies and practices. More about the Fund here.
A Girl Like Her
A Girl Like Her tells the story of more than a million women, rendered voiceless and invisible, who were forced to surrender their children for adoption in the 1950s and 60s. The footage illuminates the past as the women’s voices recount their experiences of dating, pregnancy, family reaction, banishment, and the long-term impact of surrender and silence had on their lives.
