Naas woman Aishling Conway was born in September 1980 in Bessborough mother and baby home in Cork.
That December, at three months old, she arrived at her new home in Kingsfurze, Naas.
She is the youngest of three children adopted from Bessborough by a local couple, and says she is one of the ‘lucky ones’, having gone to a kind and caring family in Ireland.
Last week’s Mother and Baby Homes Commission of Investigation Report revealed that thousands of children died at those homes during the last century; while countless more were shipped abroad for adoption.
