âMoral and financial ruinâ
Saying she was âincredibly disappointedâ, Rosemary Adaser said in laying blame at the feet of womenâs families, the report did not heed âthe rigidly-imposedâ rules of the Church and State then in place.
Families of unmarried mothers going against those norms would have faced âmoral and financial ruinâ, she said.
Meanwhile, the report did not go far enough on the issue of âforced illegal adoptionsâ, and mothers giving up their babies were âcaptured in a systemâ where they had âno choiceâ, she said.
Reading the report, she felt survivors were being told âit wasnât as bad as you lot make it out to beâ, she said. The treatment of mixed-race children born in the homes had been largely âignoredâ, she said.
