Study to look at long-term impact of Mother and Baby institutions

The Bessborough Mother & Baby Home was a home for mothers and their children that operated in Blackrock, County Cork, Ireland, from 1922 until 1998.

A new study is to focus on understanding the long-term impact of Mother and Baby institutions here, hearing from both mothers and adult adoptees.

The study is to document the social, psychological, and health needs of those with experiences of Irish Mother and Baby institutions, as well as those who experienced forced family separation.
