Lancashire / Re: single mothers home run by nuns

I also had an adopted brother, although he too was born in Manchester, I don't think his mother stayed at St Teresas. He was born jan 1965 And called John at birth (I think) and his mother called margaret (not sure). She was from the Manchester area I believe. He's never traced her, although we did start once, some time ago, which is why I can't be too sure of names! I often wonder if she's out there somewhere, wondering about him! I know it brought my adoptive parents great joy, having a son and daughter when they couldn't conceive themselves, but as a mother now myself, I do wonder about the pain often inflicted by so called do gooders in the name of religion.

Hi, my birth mother was sent to the mother and baby home in Broom Lane (think it was 67) in 1966.  I was born in sept 66 and adopted in early 1967.  I traced her when I turned 18 and we attended a support group for a short time, for mothers who'd had thier children adopted. One of the other mothers had attended the same home 10 years later and I think it had closed soon after this.  It was run by Catholic nuns and I'm sure my mum would have more memories if you're interested, get in touch and I'll get her to post on here.  All the best.  :)
