Description

Young, pregnant, unwed. What happened next is one of the most shameful periods in Australian history. Amelia Oberhardt speaks to two women who experienced a forced adoption – a broad term used to describe the various ways women were coerced into giving up their baby.  
Di Sheehan and Lily Arthur explain how stigma and a flawed system altered the course of their lives.
