Stolen Hearts Broken Bonds - NSW Forced Adoption Memorial Unveiling
Description
The Memorial Consultative Committee and Department of Communities and Justice invites you to attend the formal unveiling of the memorial acknowledging the NSW Apology for past Forced Adoption practices.
The memorial represents and acknowledges the pain and loss for mothers, fathers, sons, daughters and families affected by past practices that have had lasting trauma for generations.
The memorial will provide a permanent place of recognition, reflection and remembrance for survivors and will stand as a lasting testament to truth, remembrance and healing and as a memorial for those no longer with us.
This memorial is a significant milestone in acknowledging these experiences.
