    Well if its their story why are YOU on live lahnnnnn telling Joe all :rolleyes:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,949 ✭✭✭✭IvyTheTerrible


    The birth mother has every right to say she doesn't want contact. It's hardly fair to criticise her years and years later.

    true but fairly fcuked up thing to do


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 14,124 Mod ✭✭✭✭pc7


    OMG this woman is infuriating, how can she dictate what the birth mother should or shouldn't do. It was a different time, she doesn't know what she may have gone through and how hard it was for her. Its making me so angry :mad:

    Yeah but imagine how difficult it was at the time that woman gave birth...to go through 9 months of pregnancy, to have to give up that baby, to try and live her life normally. And then to expect her to have to live all that again. We can't really judge it by today's standards, where it is much MUCH easier to be a lone parent or unmarried mother. Imagine at the age of 70 or whatever have to explain to your husband, your children, your grandchildren what happened to you all those years ago.

    Yeah. She sounds like she has a real wide on


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,397 ✭✭✭Paparazzo


    This is shíte. What does she expect the mother to do? Move on to some idiot getting scammed on donedeal joe.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,141 ✭✭✭Yakuza


    Adoption is a very personal issue, of immense importance to the adoptee and birth mother, but is it appopriate for discussion on the national airways? Often, a birth mother's family (parents, siblings, husband and other kids) have no idea that there is a child out there, and to try to make contact again after so many years can be very traumatic (for both parties, sure).


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,536 ✭✭✭AngryBollix


    she needs to stop making that noise with her mouth

    she's beginning to sound like marian finucane

    i take your point but why did she agree to meet in the first place.

    WTF.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,966 ✭✭✭✭syklops


    Forgive my ignorance, but can she not just go to the agency and ask her to contact them.

    If she is not interested in contacting them then surely this is the end of the story, move on.

    Looking back at my childhood I had older relatives who were interested in me and I had older relatives who weren't. I really don't think my life would have been any better if the relatives who werent interested were forced to spend time with me. If anything the reverse would be true.

    Only she knows, but she obviously hid it from her family/support structure to attend alone.

    She may have done it to help him, but couldn't give him what he needed. Its tragic all round, but she should not be judged, I'm sure she never stopped thinking of him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14,949 ✭✭✭✭IvyTheTerrible


    She's not being fair, saying it's all about the mother. Children who have been adopted, ALSO have the right to say they don't want contact with their birth mother. (I have a friend who doesn't want to meet her birth mother).

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,141 ✭✭✭Yakuza


    The birth mother could potentially have much more to lose than the adoptee if their family found out, hence the relative weighting of the rights.

    Jeebus, Joe, of course she did, she gave birth to her!!

    Clare sounds very sensible and at peace with everything, it also sounds like her adoptive parents were very supportive and loved her very much.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,012 ✭✭✭furiousox


    Important subject adoption, glad liveline got round to discussing it at last, long overdue. :rolleyes:

    I have a step brother and 2 step sisters I never met. I have stared at their names in the phonebook for ages but never called them.

    While I am now talking about it on D'internet, the thought of telling Joe Duffy does not compute. Have they no friends to bitch about stuff to?


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,730 ✭✭✭europa11


    And if anyone can recognise a sympathetic tone, it's our Joe.

    Man could give lessons in putting one on.


  • Moderators, Entertainment Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 14,124 Mod ✭✭✭✭pc7


    Well Dee how else did you want them to survive it, read some of the threads on boards from women who were forced into the care of nuns to give birth and hand their children over, its heart breaking stuff. If burying it and trying to block it is how they survive they are amazing for just getting through it.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,458 ✭✭✭ppink


    how can the birth mother divulge info on the father without possibly causing a lot of problems.
    he may not even know himself


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,012 ✭✭✭furiousox


    Right.
    Radio off, thread on.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 199 ✭✭Conor84


    Another thing that annoys me about LL. The way that whenever a public service organisation is mentioned he always say great staff, do a great job. When talking about the PSA lad who apparently knew nothing about alarms Joe said I'm sure he was a lovely man etc.

    Then when talking about the Adoption Agency the caller said she was a nice woman and Joe goes yeah they all are - do a great job - and the caller then said well I only met one. Dead right.

    Why does Joe go out of his way to praise public sector staff - remember how he praised Dublin binmen to the hilt and likes to go on about how great An Post, Dublin Bus staff are.
