Heartbreaking
Absolutely heartbreaking but a must-listen-to, to bring light to terrible injustices that are still being felt today. Well researched and presented.

I absolutely loved this pod cast. As an adoptee from a different home in ireland I found this so sad but such an important story that needed to be told. Thank you for telling it. I loved hearing the women talking.
