'I just wanted to shout: I've met my daughter'

A MOTHER forced to put her child up for adoption as a teenager has been reunited with her nearly 60 years later in what she called "the best day ever".

Roslynne Webb was 16 when she became pregnant and her strict parents ruled the child must be adopted.

But she said: "The love remains. It's been with me since the day she was born, she's in my heart and my head." Her mother did not want anyone to know about the pregnancy and so Ros was sent almost 100 miles away from her home in Coventry to a Church of England mother-and-baby home in London.

She gave birth and was allowed to stay with her baby for six weeks - but was not allowed to take a photo.

Ros said: "She was just gorgeous. She had a fair, sweet face. It was just the best thing ever. I tried to savour every minute because I knew that it wasn't going to be permanent."
