I was a mother in Hopedene 1966-67.It was a hell hole run by so called christians, the memories are one of fear,austere,heartless, no compassion. Social workers involved were ^(*). Matron was ^(*). The witch from endor who TERRIFIED the teenage expectant and delivered mothers was a one ^(*). We cleaned and scrubbed on our knees the place from head to toe (whilst heavily pregnant) addressed more often as GIRL had absolutely NO PAIN RELIEF IN LABOUR the full onslot we suffered for our sins. We were brain washed to surrender for adoption all the time, we were told babies need FAMILY two PARENTS..we could not provide that  important situation for our baby. We NEVER EVER had INFORMED CHOICE as we were NEVER TOLD what our HUMAN RIGHTS, CIVIL RIGHTS, WELFARE RIGHTS were. We're ignored by both social work and the Sally Ann to our pleading to keep our babies..We were FREEZING had one bath per week, and food was not fit for human consumption, whilst  the officers dined in linen and silverware, I should know, that was part of my daily chores cleaning the silver and their quarters. I am an old grey haired lady now, as I get older the pain  and grief more vivid. Seared so deep you live this holocaust.
