It is an agonizing story, and a book has been written about it and a
movie was also recently made about it. The story I am referring to is
the story of Philomena Lee who at the age of 19 gave birth to a baby
boy, out-of-wedlock, at the Sean Ross Abbey in County Tipperary, in
Ireland.
If you are unfamiliar with the story, Philomena became pregnant out-of-wedlock after being raised in a convent after her mother died at the age of 6. Her father kept 3 boys at home and put Philomena and her two sisters in the convent because he was unable to care of all of them.
