Daughter says her mum is owed apology after forced adoption
Anne said her childhood was unhappy as her adoptive mother made her feel she "couldn't do anything right".She always wondered who and where her birth mum was and whether her life could have been different.
When she knocked on the door in Caernarfon, she met her aunt Blodwen, Katie's sister, who still lived there.Anne says it is important for the inquiry to understand that forced adoptions also affected older women"No-one had stepped in and said 'we can do this for you' or 'there's this benefit you can have, the state will help you', nothing."
Anne added that Blodwen never really wanted to discuss the adoption and got the feeling she felt "a little bit guilty".The only formal information Anne has are the basic facts on her birth certificate and adoption certificate she was given in 1977. Anne is now one of many mothers and adoptees calling for a formal apology over historical forced adoptions."I feel there's discrimination that has not been addressed. The parents who were giving up the children, all their rights were waived."
