Between 1959 and the late 1980’s more than 250,000 Australian babies were surrendered for adoption – most of them illegally stolen at birth from young, vulnerable unmarried mothers.

Now, with a campaign underway to expose the dark truth behind the crimes Australia tried to hide, veteran Gold Coast radio personality, Moyra Major and award-winning author, Megan Norris, launch a controversial new true crime podcast highlighting the horrors of the illegal forced adoption practices of past governments which ruined the lives of thousands of mothers, adoptees and their wider families.

Major and Norris bring a wealth of print and broadcasting experience to the podcast.

They have spent the past year researching and interviewing the survivors of an atrocity once described by prominent Australian adoption expert, Dr Geoffrey Rickarby, as the ‘single mother’s holocaust.’

In the first episode, Major and Norris explain this shocking chapter in detail, and how they came to be involved in the project.
