Terri Harrison has spent 47 years trying to find her son Niall who was taken by the nuns at six weeks old from his cot at St. Patrick's mother and baby institution in 1973. He was taken to Bessborough mother and baby institution in Cork and adopted, without her consent.
Terri has spent years fighting for justice over what happened to her as an 18 year old girl. At the time, it was considered a “sin” to have a baby out of wedlock in Ireland. Thousands of women have walked in Terri’s shoes.

Tonight, Monday 17th August at 7pm, in what could be her last attempt at contacting her son, Terri has turned to social media, to make direct appeal to him on video.
“I just want one last hug to say goodbye” she says.
Terri tells her story this week.

In a statement from the Sisters of the Sacred Hearts of Jesus and Mary, 16 August 2020, in response to our query about Terri's story, a spokesperson said:
"In relation to your query received today. We urge anyone who has any historic issues regarding Mother and Baby Homes to take them directly to the Commission of Investigation so that matters can be fully investigated. This Commission has had our full co-operation on all matters and this will continue to be the case. We passed all records relating to the Mother and Baby Homes to TULSA/HSE in 2010 "
