Catholic Church apologizes for ‘pain’ caused by ‘forced adoption’ in Australia

how about exposing the same practice from Eire - remember all those babies sold to rich couples in USA and their birth certs being altered.? Do I sense an enquiry?

A "wee bit" late for any apology...the traumatic damage has been done! If there is any way to locate these children, through adoption records and reunite them with their birth Mother, it would be a starting point to demonstrate the decades pain the church caused these women. There has to be records of who the church approved these adoptions to. The Catholic Church just did not give them away and not keep records. It would be interesting to see how much money the Church made off of these forced adoptions. An apology in no way "cuts the mustard"...this is a criminal offense!

The Roman church is not sorry- only sorry the truth came to light, that's all.it was the same in USA- with Georgia Tann THE BABY THIEF and her Judges, lawyers etc, all in on the act and making a profit from selling children to needy adults. It is now a worldwide business and we know it.

The RForced adoption is alive and well in many countries in 2011. Just about to be introduced to Eire. This soul destroying practice is still in place- because adoption is big business with a steady supply of NEEDY childless women and men.The soul of the mother and child are fragmented in the process- AND THAT IS A CRIME AGAINST HUMANITY.

The catholic church is always "sorry" for the horrendous pain and suffering they inflict on it's followers. Sometimes sorry just doesn't cut it when they have the morals of a streetwalker and the compassion and empathy of a donkey. Instead of being "sorry", do the right thing from the beginning and don't act morally superior to people who are so far above the church in love and compassion.

Thank you Ms. Kelly for your expose of our dark and barbarous religion. If only Ian Paisley had your jounalistic skill, we could have known so much earlier about this cult that has been so treasonous to our British Isles, for so many years.
