Hampshire & IOW Lookup Requests / Re: Mother and Baby Home run by nuns in Churt, Hampshire in the 1960's

Hi Peter.
I don’t know what you’ve learnt since your post, but have you tried getting in touch with social services?
Find the Adoption dept. of the council where you are currently live, (not the council that dealt with your adoption, unless you still live there), and ask them about the process of seeing your adoption records. They will interview you first, and then start the process. Could take up to 6 months, sometimes longer. Good luck.

Hello everyone.  Haven’t been here for a couple of years, but glad to see it’s still active, and hopefully still helping adoptees with their searching and researching.
Also, Hello Damien and Elleesa.

Hello.Hope everyone is well.
Ive popped back to read posts that I’ve missed. With regards to the name St Joseph as opposed to St Francis, the local catholic parish church is St Josephs,so maybe it’s connected to that?
Also, on another now deleted thread on the home,someone posted that they were a cab driver and that he felt sorry for the heavily pregnant girls as he dropped them off at the entrance by the road as the nuns wouldn’t let him drive right up to the door.
Take care.
Ernie.

Hello again Damien. I’ve been rereading your posts in this thread. So we have Galway roots in common. My roots are Rosmuc, just 30 odd miles away from Barna. More uncanny is that our Mums share the same Christian name. And,,,, they were the same age. Mine was born in 1936.As I was re-reading your posts,,, for a moment or two I thought,,,,!!! Then I re-read where in Galway your mum was from. That would have been wierd!

Hello. I thought I’d return to share some news.I was born in The Asssisi home in 1960. I decided last year to try and trace my Birth Mum. Was pretty sure I’d traced her but wanted proof so did a DNA test. Confirmed my investigations. Haven’t seen my Adoption papers yet but have started the process.
Just like yours  Damian, my Birth mum was a Galway girl as well!!! Something else we now have in common! Hope all who have posted here are fine.
