Nuns "Brainwashed" Teens to Give Up Babies
Thirty years ago, the nuns at St. Agnes Home for Unwed Mothers in Connecticut "brainwashed" pregnant teens shipped there to purge the shame of their premarital mistake by giving up their babies for adoption. The nuns insisted that God would approve. That's the claim of the women who contacted the Hartford Advocate to tell their stories. They also charge that the adoption of their babies was a money-maker for St. Agnes.
