We are a group of mothers whose babies went to adoption and adopted women. We are in different stages of reunions, and some have vetos against them. ALAS was established in 1989. We meet on a monthly basis both on the Northside and Southside.

Our aims and objectives are:

• to provide regular meetings and phone support.
• to educate the general population on the consequences of adoption.
• to support changes to legislation both socially and administratively as may be
relative to the objectives of the group.
• to co-operate with other groups holding the same values and views as ALAS, however we will always be an independent group.
• to find a safe and secure future form of childcare that respects both mother
and child’s ongoing needs, so we never return to the force or coercion
of the past practices of adoption.
