Yes and not a great deal comes up to be fair.
Just a lot of stories about adoptions in the 60s In general some very sad stories read on there

Not really. My biological grandmother gave birth to my mother there, Iv never had any contact with her. I only know that she was born there by the adoption paperwork that I have.
Just wanted to hear what it was like , if anyone had photographs etc.
