We would have fallen at the crossover depending on when the baby was actually adopted. Born Jan 1951 but who knows how long it took or where she went. Mother and father are both named on the birth certificate but they were not married. She was a young single girl. Persian, I am still not understanding how (why) babies that were fostered would have had their names changed? -how then can you be sure your birthdate is even correct.

Debra, seems the aai must have some info as they approve / authorise any adoption in Ireland but there were many babies adopted out to the UK & usa.
did BC list parents as married?

I would apply under both, at one time one of them was free but not now. I would word any letter as under FOI and Data Protection.

Debra I can not be sure of anything to be honest, I know they lied about dates of births for others. You should look on the Adoption Rights Alliance. Lots of avenues there with support and advice. They have a site on Face Book

read online that the birth dates on certs registered in the gro for babies being adopted from the nursing homes were often out by six weeks either side to cover up and make it difficult to trace back.. any info anyone?

Yes what you are saying is true. If the midwife or an institution registered the birth. A lot gave the wrong DOB to try to stop people in the future tracing the family.

Hi All, I gather from a Facebook message that RTÉ 1 radio @ 3.00pm on April 3rd,  Ray D'arcy Show will be discussing Adoption and Temple Hill! - may be of interest to some?

m Mary, thanks for posting the link, I just listened to it - very upsetting to hear.
it seems that nobody can access any records once they are connected to nurse Gallagher's nursing home.
the lady on rte said she tried to get her childhood medical records but when she gave her birth details they were missing. she also tried to get baptism cert but no luck..very strange
why is everything related to #78 'lost' ?
seems there might be a bigger story here.
any thoughts anybody ? what is the mystery of nurse Gallagher's??
