The Philomena Project
The Philomena Project is an initiative aimed at supporting individuals who were affected by the historical practice of forced adoptions in Ireland. It focuses on helping mothers and their children who were separated during this period, providing resources and assistance in reconnecting families. The project also raises awareness about the emotional and social impacts of these adoptions.
The project is named after the true story of Philomena Lee, a woman who was separated from her son in the 1950s and later sought to find him. Through advocacy and support, The Philomena Project seeks to address the injustices faced by those involved in these forced adoptions and promote healing.
