History and Heritage
Unlike most other members of society, people adopted under a closed secret system (like the system in Ireland) grow up with a gap in their identities. Adopted people, at whatever stage of their lives they decide to explore their history, will find themselves wanting to gather as much information as possible in an effort to build the jigsaw puzzle of their history and heritage. As the journey progresses, many people find that everything from paperwork to photographs will have huge importance. To other people they're just forms, letters and photos, but to an adopted person they're jigsaw pieces and vital parts of one's heritage. We hope that the photos and information we have provided will help you piece together your jigsaw puzzle. If you have any photos or other items you are willing to share send them to heritage@adoptionrightsalliance.com or feel free to contact us if we have left any home or agency out. Mother & Baby Homes and Adoption Agencies (Photos, paperwork and other information) St. Patrick's Home, Navan Road St. Patrick's Guild/Temple Hill Sean Ross Abbey, Roscrea, Co. Tipperary Please note we have gathered the information from survivor accounts and what little records are available to the public. Until the religious run agencies open their records there will never be a full history of past adoption practice in Ireland. If you have any corrections, contact us at heritage@adoptionrightsalliance.com |
