Concerns raised about Dublin adoption society sending children abroad in the 1970s and '80s

The Adoption Authority of Ireland raised concerns about St Therese Adoption Society potentially sending children to the USA and three other countries for adoption.

Concerns about the practices employed by a Dublin adoption society which sent children to four countries in the 1970s and 1980s were notified to the Department of Children in 2017.

The Adoption Authority of Ireland (AAI) wrote to the department in April 2017 to notify it of concerns that had emerged following a review of the files of the former St Therese Adoption Society, which was registered as an adoption society between 1975 and 1988.
