- A sad but important story. So well told
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.

And excellently presented story of an outrageous time for young women. The church has so much to answer for.

Australia3 years ago - Heartbreaking yet essential listening
How Becky managed to pull this together and keep her composure at all times is astounding, yet she does, and does so beautifully and sympathetically. This isn’t an easy listen but it’s testament to how history shouldn’t always just be accepted and left alone; that those still impacted by it need to be heard...really heard, that questions need to be answered, lessons about prejudices must be learned and some atrocities must never be forgotten lest they are repeated.
