Hi Dan,

The organisation After Adoption is a good place to start.  I found them to be very helpful.  0800 0 568 578  This is their helpline number.

If you are looking for someone who was adopted or for birth family, there is a good website where you can post enquiries.  It's not official but I believe it to be quite good:http://www.missing-you.net/

Good luck and best wishes.

Ann

Does anyone have any information on this place?  I am looking for information on Fr. Hennessy and his sister Ann Hennessy. he ran the home for a while in 1957.. I am trying to find out more info on him and his siter.. as well how would a girl find out about this place who was living in Ireland.  My mother went here to have my sister.  She was from Dublin.  Thank you.  Catherine

I think any approach would have to be by your mother and I think it is better to write to them rather than e-mail - then it's official.

I know someone who was born at St. Teresa's and she was baptised at St. Thomas of Canterbury church in Broughton, Salford: 327 Great Cheetham Street East,
SALFORD,
M7 4UE

In the case of the church and finding out about the baptism, I find it helps if you write to them and give a small donation. 

Good luck.  If I can be of any further help, let me know.

Ann
