Hi Rosinamangan
Sorry I was referring to others looking for information that had been lost in fires and knowing how upsetting it must be to come to a dead end
I've had a good life thank you and I wish the same for everyone else
It's quite heartbreaking some of the stories about people looking for answers and biological family
My life has been complicated and to some part replicated by what happened to my mother and myself
I actually know who my real father is but have never tried to get in touch
My mother Iona is interested in this site and hopefully she can share some of her memories with people who were there at the same time
It  may sound strange but I only live a few miles away from the home now so if anyone would like photos I will take some to send on
Also if anyone has photos of home at the time could you send to myself as I'm sure my mother would like to see

Hello everyone
I know it's been some time since there has been some activity
I was born at the home in September of 63 after my mother was pregnant and had fallen out with my grandparents she spent 3  months there until her aunt or cousin came to get her
The nuns apparently wanted me adopted but fortunately my mother and family were against it and in that time my grandparents also had a change of heart and took my mother and myself home
I have been to the home since which had been two buildings , the larger of the two had already been turned into flats but the house was being worked on for a private family .
I spoke to the builder- foreman on site and he told me a couple of things
One thing I find does not sit right with me is so much info seems to have been lost in fire
