Surge in calls to adoption helplines

ADOPTION support groups have received a surge of calls to their helplines following the Irish Examiner’s special investigation into the issue of illegal adoption.

As part of the investigation we revealed the heartbreaking story of Tressa Reeves and her 50-year search for an illegally adopted son.

Chairwoman of Adoption Loss – The Natural Parents Network of Ireland, Bernie Harold, said the group’s helpline had been “extra busy” since the publication of the investigation.
