Lahai-roi The Grange 42 Park Hill Moseley

I googled Loveday Hospital, it appears on a different Birmingham History site, it says it was for difficult births. Lahai Ro was not a hospital as far as I am aware, no babies were delivered there.
thankyou Nico. The difficult births has me questioning, as we was told my dad had jaundice as a baby. My BG was sent from Derby to Lahai Roi mother and baby home. ive left my details with Norcap and have since rang Birmingham post adoption line. thankyou once again for your help.
 
My mother worked at Oakhurst Maternity home Sutton Coldfield in the late 50s/early 60s and told me that she used to accompany mothers and babies to Loveday st if there were birth complications.
 
I guess I would have been there when your birth mother was as I had my son in early December 1965. Do you know your birth mother’s name? Would love to contact someone who was there the same time as m
Hello, yes I do know my birth mother’s name, but I’m afraid she doesn’t want to know me. Such is life 1748113402648.png
 
That’s not a problem it’s called life
Maybe you could try again. With an intermediary. I heard of many in the same boat as you. One of my Norcap contacts who helped me was contacted by her birth mother who wanted to wait till or if her husband passed away. Which he did but she still did not tell her other children. She blamed it on their culture. It must rake up the past. It depends how you want to take it further. My cousin by marriage was a raised in an orphanage. He found his mother by accessing his records himself in the office. She did not want to know him but she did give him some information, His father was never told about him. There are so many different stories. Know that doesn't help you. I wish you well.

Thank you, but I won’t be trying again, to much pain involved.
