Hi , I have found out that my brother was born in st patricks in 1968. the exact date I will find as soon as i can pull his birth cert. his name givin by our mother is Patrick. I was adopted in 1967 having being born oct 1963. I figured the more places to look for him while trying to get adop cert and find him that way the better.

lovet123 · 21-06-2015 11:53pm

Hi saw you found your brother could you get me some more place to look

Hello,
It was heartbreaking, reading all your messages. My Mother was in St Patricks in 1975, where my brother was born. I also have two other aunts who are birth mothers - so many stories in each family. I am an artist and have been working on a project supporting birth mothers share their stories for the last two years. I am currently looking for documents and photos from birth mothers time in these mother and baby homes. If any birth mothers feel they would like to share their story, I would also be happy to help
Thanks

Hi if you know your siblings date of birth, you then need to look through the adoption books in GRO by date of birth to find adopted name, then order adoption cert from roscommon which will give adopted parents names and address at time of adoption. check out adoption rights alliance traceing guides

Hi, my grandmother, Vera Flood, was a carer at St Patrick's for many years. I believe that my aunts Marie (Flood) Moreland and Patty(Flood) Kiernan worked there for a while too. Sadly they have all passed away but I would love to find someone who may remember them especially my grandmother

She took me to the home once when I was about 7 or 8 (1970/71) I may have been a bit older, and I remember vividly the lines of cots with all the babies. Granny lifted up every one of them, telling me their names, their mammy's names, and then telling the babies how beautiful they were, giving them a kiss then saying "God bless" as she put them back in the cot. She just loved the place, or maybe it was the babies and their mammies!
She always referred to the mammies as her babies. She felt so passionate about them, wishing she could help them, help them keep their babies.

She was the most kindest, most gentle of women I have ever known.

Does anyone remember her? Vera Flood

Jacqui

Hi there my mother Mary bray had my sister in St patricks hospital on the navan Rd in 26 of April 1968 I would really appreciate it if you have any information

saskay60 · 27-03-2016 2:23pm

reading all your stories my heart is broken xx i was an "in mate" in 79 , not a good experience had to lie and say i was giving up my baby so that i got treated a bit better plus got more money

thankfully i managed to get out of there and move away and keep my child , i remember a lot of girls giving up their babies and not willingly

still think of them now , ther but for the grace of god .....and all that hope you all get some peace love and hugs xx

Well done saskay and thanks for sharing.

saskay60 · 30-03-2016 10:04pm

Honestly Hermy , i still get cold chills when i think how close i came to being one of these heartbroken ladies

i just can't believe how much control those homes had and how they can get way with what they did and that years and years later , people are still so badly effected by it

I send love and angels to all xxx

Hermy · 30-03-2016 10:49pm

How they still get away with it is what bothers me.
None of those with the power to properly deal with this are willing to do so.
And in the meantime those of us affected by adoption are left to deal with it by ourselves.
People will say there is help available but it is only on someone else's terms.
It's past time that this was finally dealt with but the wait goes on...

Hi I am looking for my brother who was born on the 14th of April 1977 in St Patrick's home Navan rd Dublin. My mother named him Michael Valentine. My Mothers name is Helena.

Flam1n1us · 06-03-2017 5:33pm

I am new to this but would appreciate any information. In the 50's / 60's were the babies born in St Pat's or did the mothers go to hospital to have them and then return with the baby to St Pat's until they were adopted?

I would imagine they were born at the home. http://www.thejournal.ie/readme/mother-and-baby-home-st-patricks-2380868-Oct2015/

A maternity annex was added as well as a “heating, garden Infirmary“ (sic), and money for “improvements to the Catholic Chapel”. Later a maternity hospital was built and payments amounting to a total of £8,410 were made from Sweepstake Funds (see below for full details).

kathy finn · 06-03-2017 6:04pm

It would depend, most would be born in the home if birth was straightforward but if complicated then sent to hospital.

Flam1n1us · 06-03-2017 6:08pm

Thank you for the link to that article Victor - very informative.Thanks Kathy - that would make sense all right
I am trying to find information about private nursing homes and wondered if girls were in St Pats or other mother & baby homes in Dublin during the 50s and 60s, did they have their baby in the home, at the main maternity hospitals, or were they sent to registered midwives in the local area.

How to find out if a mother who had a baby in a private nursing home was a resident in St pats
