Description:

Mary Lou Maher (MY-er) was 17 when she learned she was pregnant. As a college freshman who felt unprepared to be a mother, she gave her baby up for adoption.

Nine years ago, Brad Skow, the son she had given up, tracked Maher down. They have been close ever since.

Skow interviewed Maher at the StoryBooth in New York City's Grand Central Terminal.
