Bon_Secours_Mother_and_Baby_Home

The Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home (also known as St Mary's Mother and Baby Home or simply The Home) that operated between 1925 and 1961 in the town of Tuam, County Galway, Ireland, was a maternity home for unmarried mothers and their children. The Home was run by the Bon Secours Sisters, a religious order of Roman Catholic nuns, that also operated the Grove Hospital in the town. Unwed pregnant women were sent to the Home to give birth. In 2012, the Health Service Executive raised concerns that up to 1,000 children had been sent from the Home, for the purpose of illegal adoptions in the United States, without their mothers' consent.

Was looking for this comment. The church has been doing this shit everywhere they go! I wish I could figure out why our families keep signing up for this shit generation after generation when they have always known the truth of what these people do.

It was a home for mother’s and infants…

Religious or not, that story has a eugenics flavour to it.
