Somebody’s Daughter

Introducing: "Somebody's Daughter"

In the final episode of the season, Megan and Moyra are joined by the Honorable Naheem Mushin, former Family Court Justice of 21 years, who was appointed by the Attorney General to head the committee investigating the practice of forced adoption and the claims being made by so many women, children and extended families.

He travelled the country multiple times over 2 years to hear submissions in person, and to then write the apology that was ultimately delivered by the then prime minister Julia Gillard in 2013.

He does not hold back revealing his findings and expressing his criticism of a dark chapter in Australian history.

Episode 7: Hon Justice Mushin

Rosalie Wilson shares her own unique experience, firstly living in a home where her mother adopted other children. She recalls how her mother had given birth to two girls (herself & her sister), but instead wanted boys - so she simply decided to adopt one she liked from the public hospital in Melbourne.

Rosalie then goes on to describe the twist of fate that led to her being forced to adopt out her own child as an unwed, teenage mother.

Episode 6: Rosalie Wilson

Megan & Moyra are joined by Sophia Fletcher, who was forcibly adopted during this period.

Born in Brisbane in 1962, she was removed from her birth mother - who she has never found despite 40 years of searching. She speculates that her mother may have been an illegitimate child herself, making it incredibly difficult to connect the lines of her family history.

Sophia shares her subsequent experience with adoptive parents, and how the sequence of events has affected her relationship with her own child.
