I don't know why... all of the countries don't pull together... and get it all over and done with... don't they know that each time... bringing the stolen babies up... triggers off what happen to us stolen babies worldwide...
my god it hunts to read abuse this... every so often when it comes up... it makes me cry... as I see my mother holding me... and not letting me go... until I was taken away from her arms... the catholic church has a lot to answer to... for stealing us babies from our mothers arms...  Ann
