Philomena Project to help adoptees find families
The Philomena Project, in association with the Adoption Rights Alliance, will be launched in Dublin tomorrow by Philomena Lee and will lobby the Irish State to grant access to adoption records for both in-country and Irish-US adopted people and their families.
The Philomena Project has come about through the story of Ms Lee’s 50-year search for her son, recently brought to global attention via the Oscar-nominated film Philomena, starring Judi Dench and Steve Coogan and based on journalist Martin Sixsmith’s book The Lost Child of Philomena Lee.
