More about the book

This book is an account of a journey through grief, loss and pain; passing through anger and bewilderment and coming out the other end. It is about the effects of forced adoption and the scars and damage on the people surrounding it. Some people may be surprised by the attitudes of those administering the system. How could such antique judgemental values still exist in our society? They did. The story is also of the massive shift in perception that has happened over the last 50 years. So as well as the story of my experiences in the system, this book may serve as a social history of the treatment of 'unmarried mothers'.
