IT IS LIKE A MIRROR... READING YOUR OWN STORY...
This is what the Nazareth house nun kept telling me... my mother was
dead... and that I should be grateful to them... for taking me in... the
catholic church pulled me out of my mothers arms... two and half
months... after my mother gave birth to me... on my 15th birthday two
ladies came up to see me... they gave me a birthday cake... the first
one that I ever had... a beautiful coloured jersey... and a new pair of
shoes... which all were taken off me... the nuns gave the shoes and
jersey to one of the other girls... the birthday cake they cut up... and
I was told to take it around... to the other girls... I never even had a
crumb of that cake...
I asked sister Blandina who they were... she told me that one of
them... was my fairy Godmother... the same two ladies came to see me a
few times... I found out later... that they were told... not to tell
me... that one was my mother... How could they be so cruel... as to
tell a little girl... that her mother was dead... so close she was...
and I never knew... it hurts that I missed knowing her... and that I had
seen her... and not known that she did come to see me... in the two
orphanages...
When we were at Nazareth house... on cold wet Sunday afternoons... we
would all sit around the radio on the floor... and would ask Sister
Blandina about our mothers... she always told some of us that she was
dead... and others she would tell... that their mothers did not want
them... I was sent a photo of two ladies... from my brother John... who I
found in 2003... and recognized the two ladies... as the two who came
to see me... on my 15th birthday... one was my mother and the other
one... was her sister... who I was named after... It hurts... it hurts
so much... Ann
ALLAN Allaway says he was ripped from his mother's arms when he was a tot. He was just an innocent six-month-old. Allan claimed authorities from the State Government's Children's
Department (at the time) stole him off his mother and delivered him to
the Neerkol Orphanage nursery.
He claimed the "bureaucrats" often made immoral judgments that women who were single couldn't look after their children.
When he was about five years old, Allan would always ask for his mother.
