Freaky when two photos collide: one from the Annual Report of the Mercer Reformatory for the yr ending Mar31/48. Many of these prisoners lost their babies to #adoption. The second photo shows an #adopted #PrisonBaby, born to an incarcerated mother—ironic, as she's trying to stand on her head.

Prison Baby

Very few of us #adoptees ever find out that we were #PrisonBorn. Deborah Jiang Stein is one such adoptee who discovered her birth history and has written a book about it.
