This episode was originally published on June 19th, 2022.Australia in the mid twentieth century has a dark history of forced adoption. Women who did not fit the moral expectations of the time (usually those who were young and unmarried) had their children taken from them at birth, often with little to no information left behind for them to be reunited.Our guest today, Lily Arthur, is one story of many, and it is an absolutely heartbreaking one. It is also a story of determination and grit, and the long fight Lily went through to seek justice for what happened to her and many others.Links:Lilyarthur.comLily's book: Dirty Laundry: The Crimes A Country Tried To HideQLD Judgement can be found here: https://www.queenslandjudgments.com.au/caselaw/qsc/2004/456Origins SPSA (Supporting people separated by adoption): https://www.originsnsw.com/Click here to subscribe to ATC Plus on Apple Podcasts and access all ATC episodes early and ad-free, as well as exclusive bonus episodes.
