Northamptonshire / Re: N0RTHAMPTON - Home for illegitimate babies

The name was Glover at Elmleigh. I do not think there is anything anyone can do. The DHSS knew what was going on there, so where do you take that information?
I am so sorry you did not get to say goodbye to your daughter, I feel your loss. Sadly, there were so many young women in the same situation. I feel so lucky to have kept my daughter. Lucky in the fact that my parents were totally indifferent to whether I lived or died. They were abusive, mentally, physically & verbally so I made sure my daughter stayed with me. I had my family then. Please have courage, strength & love in the knowledge that you were not the instigator in your daughter not being with you. You are not to blame in any way. I wish you all the best in your life ❤️

I was in Elmleigh during 1980/81. What went on there was children for sale arranged by L G. I spent a lot of "time" (unknown to anyone) in her office & spent a lot of time reading the files & paperwork.
The DHSS paid £55.00 weekly. The House received £50.00, we got £5.00 per week to buy shampoo, soap, anything we needed. It did not go far. A lot of young women were forced, talked into giving up their babies. I kept mine which infuriated LG She kept on at me all of the time but I never gave in. She made huge profits by what she did which I did & do not agree with.
S from Rhyl in Wales, if you are on here, I hope you are well. Your son was so beautiful & I know it broke your heart to give him up.
I stayed after my little girl was born for 5/6 months when I gratefully left there.
Hello to anyone that was there at that time. Love to you all ❤️
