And I got the book a long time ago, and finally read it this past summer. I sat and cried so much...I just do not know how those children survived. And the lying! <br /><br />Did you see the movie Philomena? With Judi Dench? I bet you would like it.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015780995837712115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916054248522297742.post-38161078456447241112012-11-17T04:19:15.185-05:002012-11-17T04:19:15.185-05:00Hi Gill, It is a really sad story and a shameful p...Hi Gill, It is a really sad story and a shameful part of Australia's history. The Australian government has a lot to answer for. They also, for several decades in the 20th century, "stole" Aboriginal children from their families and put them in homes.

Knowing that things like this happen (and never make the press) makes me wonder about the humanity of those in charge.Connie Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16040034443479045710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6916054248522297742.post-76613338603058049462012-10-18T03:57:35.427-04:002012-10-18T03:57:35.427-04:00If you go to this link you will find some interest...If you go to this link you will find some interesting information about this.
