Crown Wards Speak
December 25, 2006 permalink
The Adoption Show on Christmas eve interviewed three former crown wards. You can link directly to the interview (mp3) or the Adoption Show. The program is just over two hours. The individual interviews are:
- John Dunn, starts at 4:44. He tells the story of his many foster homes, and his frustration at trying to find records of his own life.
- Jessie McVicar, starts at 50:12. Jessie discloses that he did not learn to read until he was a teenager. He describes his experiences with wit and candor. His parents tried to get help from social services, but CAS defeated his parents in court and kept Jessie.
- Erika Klein, starts at 81:13. Erika and her daughter both were stolen from their mothers after seeking help from the social services system.
Addendum: The link to the adoption show is changed. Here is a local copy (mp3) of the program.
