A single, Indigenous woman in 1971 changed her mind about adopting out her son. She believes she was deliberately deceived.

Ms Doyle was one of around 200,000 women in England and Wales coerced into giving up their babies during 1950s, 60s and 70s. Now 78, she said a proper apology from the government was long overdue. #adoption #forcedadoption #firstmothers #firstmoms

A new study is to focus on understanding the long-term impact of Mother and Baby institutions here, hearing from both mothers and adult adoptees. #adoption #forcedadoption #birthmothers #firstmothers #adopteevoices #adopteerights

The finding held true even though the children were adopted as newborns, raised by their adoptive parents, and were never directly exposed to the stresses their birth mothers had experienced. #adoption #adoptees #adoptiontrauma #birthmothers #firstmothers

@AlghraniT @BBCOne You're right, for all of the survivors, it's never "over" - even with answers, information, records, possible reunion, the trauma never leaves. What happened has lifelong consequences. #forcedadoption #adoption #motherandbabyhomes #adoptees #birthmothers #firstmothers
UK Government- #adoptees and #birthmothers #firstmothers are looking to you for our formal #governmentapology. The evidence of central government involvement is in the archives. #forcedadoption. State NOT society....And they KNOW it. #forcedadoptionapology #motherandbabyhomes
You can see the direct link between central government and mother and baby homes. The Minister for Health provides a multi-year scheme which gives grants to fifty 'maternity and child welfare associations' in the London County Council area alone (contd.)

Yesterday I bought myself some beautiful bunches of rainbow tulips & Spring daffodils.
I bought them for the young girl I once was when I became a mother. I am honouring her - me - this Mothering Sunday, despite adoption making me invisible.
#FirstMothers buy yourself some 💐
@howtobeadopted @nadhimzahawi All those #adoptees and #birthmothers #firstmothers who bravely came forward 2 give written evidence or attend the JCHR round table event. There are 1000s more of us awaiting justice & reparations. I hope this is not a taste of how the UK govt will respond....

Pre-Roe #FirstMothers: anyone have any thoughts about this quote?
#AdopteeVoices #AdopteeTwitter
#birthmothers / #firstmothers & their children - #adoptees after finding that the #ukgovernment bears ultimate responsibility for the pain, suffering & lifelong trauma caused by these historic #adoption practises. The courage of all those who gave oral or written evidence to this
@BobGuyer @BernadetMurphy You said it well, Bob. There ARE too many mothers like us still out here.
Too many years lived in secrets and silent grief. I ran a First/Birth Mothers Group out of my Private Practice years ago on the East Coast.
Any “other #FirstMothers out there interested in a twitter one?
@candace_cahill_ I will have to search.. #firstmothers I don’t understand why they would… and it is such a false narrative.
@NigelHeal @JustinETharp As a first mother during the choiceless choice Baby Scoop Era, your comparison of an organ & a baby is unacceptable, incredulous & beyond insulting to #Adoptees & #FirstMothers
It reads “organ donor” on my driver’s license not “baby donor.”
I lost my daughter. Not my kidney.
