Looking for Fairytale Castles
Back to winnersOn 11th April 1972 a baby named Martina
was born in Dublin.
Six weeks later Martina got a new name - Jenny - when she was adopted.
At the age of 20, Jenny decided to trace her birth
parents and met her birth mother for the first time. It was to be fourteen
years until she felt ready to contact her again.
In this documentary, Jenny and her birth mother speak
candidly about the hurt and the pain caused by the adoption process and the
journey that they have been on to get to know each other after 36 years apart.
