  Can anyone out there tell me about the Louise Home in Portland?  In the 1930 census, the girls there are all called "inmates", but it seems to me that I can remember a time when it was a prenatal residence and birthing hospital for unwed mothers....and were adoptions arranged thru the home, also?  Any information about the Home would be welcome!
