Barnardos Ireland children's charity - we work with vulnerable children and their families. Because childhood lasts a lifetime.
Growing Stronger Together tells the story of four women’s first-hand experience with adoption and Barnardos Birthmothers Group. Barnardos Post Adoption Service first set up an adoption helpline for birthmothers in 1977. As the years passed, and the number of women contacting the service grew, the benefits of face-to-face meetings became apparent. In October 1990 the first support group for birthmothers took place in a little office in Harolds Cross, and has since expanded greatly to provide continued support for birthmothers, but also adults who were adopted as babies.
