Last   Thursday the  ALAS  Trailblazers
 
                                       namely   Trish,  Marg, Janice,& Lorraine,

                                   caught  up with  our good friend  Ian Jones for morning tea

                                at the Shingle Inn Queen  Street, it was a really lovely day a lot of

                              laughter, & happiness,its amazing how our lives  have changed over

                              the last 8 years,& all that ALAS has achieved since our

                           Historic   Royal  Brisbane  and  Women's  Adoption  Apology.

                          the Apology  & Photo sits on the wall,

                         outside the lifts on level  5 Ned Hanlon Building, without that apology

                         we at ALAS  feel we would still be battling the governments for all the

                      other Forced Adoption Apologies if it hadn't been for the action of
                   
                     Professor  Ian Jones & Noelle Cridland.

                                   Hi,  everyone i trust you are all okay,
     
                                                         MAY 2016

                          on the 12 th of  this month it will be 4 years since we received
                         
                                   The  Forced  Adoption Apology,
                       
                                  from  The Sisters of Mercy
                       
                            for women who were either at Wooloowin or

                       The Mater Mothers in  South Brisbane,
                             
                          sadly we lost Bev a year ago
                       
                             that' was  where she had Brad.

                             
                      The  19 th    May  2009 is a very important day for ALAS

                             The Day Professor Ian Jones gave us the

                            Royal Brisbane & Woman's Hospital

                                Forced Adoption Apology

                    7 Years Ago were so thrilled to know we had been listened to

                    little did we know how that would change the attitude to Forced
               
                Australian  Adoption, so many other Adoption Apologies flowed on

              from that day, we will always hold Prof Jones & Noelle Cridland
           
               in high esteem, Thank you for changing our lives for the better.
