Ms Terri Harrison:

I thank the Chairman. I want to reiterate the aspect of truth in records. My abduction in the UK and being brought back here by the Catholic Crusade of Rescue is not reflected in my records, in many ways. It would not be reflected to my son. There was also rubber-stamping of adoption by judges where the clergy would present it.

I got my records and got access to quite a few items of correspondence in which the truth that is written is that I was a very difficult young girl. My difficulty is not explained. The explanation is that I would not sign any papers. When I received a copy of my son's adoption, the person who signed my name had spelled it wrong. What is also not on record is the fact that after returning from England, I went back to collect my son. I informed them that I was taking him. He had already been adopted and they threatened me with the High Court, the police - everything. I would like my son to know these very important details.

Ms Mac Manus said and I totally 100% agree that I would like to proceed without the help of any social worker. As Ms Coughlan said, I have no trust whatsoever in authority. I believe this belongs to the mother and the adult son or daughter and, therefore, given the choice, I would like to write a full, in-depth statement of journey of where we began when he began to grow inside me and the circumstances of living in London and being brought back to this country against my will. Furthermore, I would like my son to know the complete journey of the lack of care while he was growing inside me, the lack of medical care after he was born and the lack of care in that I was denied to know, every night of the last 48 years, how my son is. How is he? Nobody can answer that question for me and I am his mother until the last breath has left my body.
