Introduction
My name is Laura, i am 29 years old and i want to tell the story of my Adoption journey.
I was born on the 14th February 1988 at Kings College Hospital Denmark Hill. My Mother’s name was Marion Rose Therese Canavan. She was an Auxiliary Nurse, and born in Clapham in Lambeth on the 18th June 1965, Marion is 5’2 tall, medium build with thick brown hair. Her eyes were blue/ grey with fair skin and rosy cheeks. Marion was a Country girl and she had a wide warm smile.
Marion met my Father when he was 15 years old and had a close relationship with him for 2 years. My Father was called Clement Valentine Hermery Smith who was born on the 28th April 1970 . Clement was tall with fair hair and Blue eyes.
I have a half sister called Mary, she was born on the 13th June 1986. Mary was also Adopted through the London Borough Bromley .
My social history was that from the 14th February to 19th February I stayed at Kings College Hospital Maternity ward and from the 19th February 1988 to 13th April I was placed in Foster care.
Although through my child hood I was very happy, when I was growing up I released being Adopted was not as straight forward as it seemed.
there are all these unanswered questions I need to find out.
I am 29 years old and just found out my birth mother is much closer than i thought.
