I also had an adopted brother, although he too was born in Manchester, I don't think his mother stayed at St Teresas. He was born jan 1965 And called John at birth (I think) and his mother called margaret (not sure). She was from the Manchester area I believe. He's never traced her, although we did start once, some time ago, which is why I can't be too sure of names! I often wonder if she's out there somewhere, wondering about him! I know it brought my adoptive parents great joy, having a son and daughter when they couldn't conceive themselves, but as a mother now myself, I do wonder about the pain often inflicted by so called do gooders in the name of religion.
