Summary
A haunting childhood memory resurfaces as Therese Meyer, who spent her early years at the Bessborough mother and baby home in 1950s Cork, recalls witnessing an illegal burial of a baby — a chilling moment she was told was just a doll. Now, as apartment plans loom over the site, survivors are rallying against the development, demanding the government intervene to uncover the fate of hundreds of missing children whose burial records vanish into silence. Meyer’s trauma — shaped by fear, harsh treatment, and a lifetime of feeling worthless — echoes through her story, even after being adopted into a loving family. With vigils, protests, and calls for forensic investigation, survivors push for truth, justice, and recognition for the lost children, while Meyer continues her fight for adopted people’s right to their birth records — a battle for closure that still leaves deep emotional scars.
