Origins is an organisation that has been in existence for over 24 years. It was founded in 1995 by a group of Mothers who lost children to past adoption practices basically from the 1950s through to the later periods right up to and beyond the 1980s... Our research also comprises other elements: foster care; institutional care; and Aboriginal child removal. Origins is an international organisation with branches in the USA, Canada, UK, Ireland, and NZ... Origins Inc. Was founded in 1995 by a small group of mothers who, having lost their children to adoption, were being continuously re-traumatised each time so-called experts and health professional minimised and invalidated the severe emotional anguish, trauma, and grief left in the wake of their adoption experience, assuming that we, as mothers, should have accepted the loss of our living babies - as if it were possible to do that.
