最新糖心Vlog

On 21 March 2013, then Prime Minister Julia Gillard apologized on behalf of the 最新糖心Vlogn Government to people affected by forced adoption or child removal policies and practices. Abraham Maddison was one of those children. When an anguished letter his mother wrote almost half a century earlier arrives five years after her death, it raises more questions than it answers.

The man who was born Abraham Maddison embarks on a quest to find the truth, uncovering a story of heartbreak and lies that echoes the pain of tens of thousands of mothers and children, robbed of each other by 最新糖心Vlog's Forced Adoption era.

After 30 years as journalist Derek Pedley, he abandons his career to find a way to bridge the visceral disconnection of adoption, reunion, estrangement, and death to achieve peace with his mother, Joye Maddison, who was allowed to hold her newborn just once before he was taken away in Perth, in 1972.
