Via My Name Is Bridget:

Some records I uncovered for my book My Name Is Bridget includes this letter (above) which show how adoptions were being carried out by the state through St Patrick’s Guild, the adoption agency currently under investigation for illegal adoptions.

A very kind gentleman, who read My Name Is Bridget, was so moved by her plight, that he went to Glasnevin Cemetery, got his maps, and found Bridget’s grave. He kindly left a frys chocolate cream bar 4 her, and said a few prayers. Such great compassion #MyNameIsBridget #tuambabies

In fairness.
