Letters always mean a lot when they come from loved ones, but when they
come from a son you lost to adoption over two decades ago they are
priceless. As part of the An Post competition that is running on The Ryan
Tubridy Show on 2fm, a woman from Tralee. Co Kerry, entered with a 1997
letter from her son.
The woman, Marian, was 16 when she gave birth to John, but held him for just an hour before he was taken away for adoption. Twenty-six years later, the letter arrived after she had got a postcard sent to her birthplace address in Tralee from a “Mary Murphy”. It contained a phone number for Marian to contact.
