Hi Dee - I can help you with some info on Assisi House.  If we exchange a few messages I can then give you my private email address and send you some pictures. How lovely that you have met your brother.  I would love to hear more of that story if you would be willing to share (privately). Best wishes

Hi Jennifer
Philomena was a very good film wasn't it?  As an adoptee I found it very moving, particularly in Philomena's case (I don't want to ruin the story for those who have not seen it yet).  Interestingly there were several single women in the audience of a certain age and I did wonder if they were women who had possibly given birth and were still keeping the secret?
I would love to read your book but as I am in the middle of writing one myself, I don't want to be influenced in anyway.  Maybe I will get yours when I've (finally!) finished mine.
Best wishes
Carrie

Same here - that's where my birth was registered.  I do hope you had a happy life Chrisann.

Just wanted to put this title up to show which home we are talking about.

Thank you.  Understandably not many people want to talk about the dreadful experience they went through, but I feel it was an important part of history - one never to be repeated!

Hi Chrisann I am so glad to hear you were kept.  Do you remember anything else your mother told you about that time and what happened in the home  - I am doing some research for a book.
Many thanks
Carrie

They really were unbelievable times weren't they?  I have just read a book (a true story) written by a mother who had her baby in a similar sounding home, but am sad to hear this was true at the one you gave birth in too.

Hi Val
I am writing a book (fictional) and wondered if you would be willing to contact me on my private email address?  I can't see how to private message you direct (or maybe this isn't possible?).
Many thanks.
