In this episode we welcome adoptee, Colleen Barnard who was born in the same Magdalene Home in Brisbane where last week’s guest, Lily Arthur, was incarcerated for the crime of being pregnant and unwed.

Colleen describes her adoption journey as a Magdalene baby, the challenges of finding her own identity in a manufactured family and how the search to find her mother took her halfway around the world – only to find that her mum was living in her own backyard in rural Queensland.
