Picture this: You are what is now termed as a survivor of a mother and baby home, you don’t know exactly who you are, you have no identity because the State had decided long ago that you have no right of ever knowing or finding who gave birth to you.
That right had been given to a group of social workers called Tusla, who hold your file from the time your mother gave birth to you in a mother and baby home.
You have been scorned most of your life as a sub-species, because according to the Church you were born into sin, you are illegitimate, born outside marriage.
