Series looks at how so many Irish families have been affected by adoption
Documentary series ‘Adoption Stories’ will return to TV3 for a third season next month.

The series is once again directed and produced by Sharon Lawless of Flawless Films. DOP’s who worked on the show are Ciaran Tanham and Paul Warde with additional camera work provided by Keith Durham and Sharon Lawless.

The show looks at how so many Irish families have been affected by adoption. From adult adoptees searching for their roots to natural parents living without their child, the impact of adoption is highlighted through the testimony of those who experienced it first-hand.

In the first episode of the series, the team meet Pat McManus who was adopted by an abusive mother and loving but quiet father. When Pat’s adoptive mother passed away in 2014, he discovered that he had been completely written out of her will, making him realise how unwanted he actually was. The programme also meets Winnie, who gave birth in a mother and baby home at the age of just 15. She and her daughter were taken back home by her parents, who adored both of them. Two years later, Patricia was snatched out of Winnie's arms by a nun, who sent her for adoption, without any legal consent whatsoever.

The show was edited by Lawless with additional editing from Edmond Slattery of Beachball Media. Tommy Ellis of Velvet Audio covered post-production sound mix while the sound recordist was Ray Cross. Production Manager was Máire NíChuinneagain, researchers were Aoife Curran and Michael McNamara while the legal advisor was Andrea Martin.

The brand new series of ‘Adoption Stories’ airs this June on TV3.
