Marion McMillan has spoken about being one of an estimated 250,000 women who were forced to have their babies adopted in the decades after 1949.
Her account centres on the experience of being told she was not worthy of motherhood before her baby was taken for adoption. The case forms part of a wider history involving women whose children were adopted against their will between 1949 and 1976.
The figure of about 250,000 women indicates the scale of the practice across that period. The supplied material does not provide further details about McMillan’s personal circumstances, the location involved, or the people or institutions responsible in her case.
No official response, apology or further current development is included in the available information. The latest known position is that McMillan is identified as one of the women affected by forced adoption during the period from 1949 to 1976.
