Ireland’s Lost Babies

ByTerri December 22, 2015December 21, 2015

Over the weekend I came across a television show from Ireland that documents the lost babies of Ireland. As many of you know, from previous posts the story of Philomena Lee and her son Anthony really touched me as have many of the other stories about women who have had their children ripped away from them by the church. I thought others might like to see this show as well. The good news is that it looks like some of the records are available.

If you are looking for your Irish mother, please watch. I believe there is contact information at the end of the show for those that are looking for assistance.
