With the idea floating around the THO had something to do with Henry’s adoption, if Emma was pressured to give up Henry, I’d bet THO sent an “agent” to convince her.
I think that the state of Arizona and would have pressured Emma to give the baby up for adoption. Emma was still technically a ward of the state herself when she was pregnant and imprisoned. She might have become a legal adult by the time Henry was born (that timeline is still ambiguous in my mind), but she suddenly had to face a cruel reality that she had no income and no way of looking after a newborn baby. So, at the encouragement of her parol officer (or someone else), Emma probably chose what she thought was best for her son. However, that doesn’t preclude the possibility that an agent of the Home Office also could have been working for the judicial system of AZ. THO sounds like a large network of people who could be everywhere.
