'ADOPTION STORIES' - TV SERIES VIRGIN MEDIA/TV3/SKy italia

ADOPTION STORIES

'Adoption Stories' is the only TV series in Ireland to deal with all aspects of the subject, as told by those who lived it. We exposed the experience of mother and baby homes, tracing family, legal barriers, trafficking, kidnapping, and illegal adoption. It was also the first TV series in the world to use DNA testing to find blood relatives, with a 100% success rate.


It ran for six series between 2010-2017 and is credited for giving the adoption community a voice, and the confidence to  use it. We are proud to be a friend and ally to this wonderful group of people.

John Kiely

John's story was incredible. He and his twin sister were adopted and grew up in Kilrush, Co. Clare. After health scare, John decided to look for his birth parents, but was not legally allowed access to this information. With some non-identifying details on his mother, he trawled the records in the General Register Office to try and piece the jigsaw together himself. After discovering who his family was, he had a dilemma; make them aware of his and his sister's existence, or stay away?

Theresa Hiney Tinggal

Theresa told us an unbelievable story. At the age of 48, she discovered that she had been illegally adopted. She grew up with two sisters, and she was the only one not to know. Her adoptive mother told her it had all been handled through a doctor, midwife, and judge's wife, and nobody was ever supposed to find out. A stroke of luck lead to the grandson of the midwife contacting her and giving her information that would change her life. 

Emer Halpenny

Most of the stories we hear about adoption are from the 1950s to the late 1970s; after that there was more financial support for unmarried mothers, and society was slowly changing. It meant women had more of a choice to keep their children, but not always. For Emer,  though times had changed, she still needed to be sure she was doing the right thing for her baby.

Anne-Marie Gill

It was Anne-Marie's baby photo on Facebook that first caught my attention. She was like a beautiful doll. She had been born to a couple from Northern Ireland and adopted in England. Her birth parents went on to marry and have  a big family. Anne-Marie discovered her father had died before she got to meet him, but the first encounter with her mother and siblings in London was a blast.
