Convent that 'forced' young mothers to give up their babies

Children given up for adoption as babies are trying to trace the mothers who say they were pressured by Catholic nuns into giving them away.  Hundreds of teenage mothers who gave birth at a Roman Catholic convent in Britain had “no choice” but to give up their babies for adoption, it can be disclosed.
Despite desperately wanting to keep them, many of the women say they were forcefully encouraged to give up their babies by the convent’s nuns, who told them that as single women they would not make good mothers and did not deserve to have a child.
