This episode was originally published on June 19th, 2022.Australia in the mid twentieth century has a dark history of forced adoption. Women who did not fit the moral expectations of the time (usually those who were young and unmarried) had their children taken from them at birth, often with little to no information left behind for them to be reunited.Our guest today, Lily Arthur, is one story of many, and it is an absolutely heartbreaking one. It is also a story of determination and grit, and the long fight Lily went through to seek justice for what happened to her and many others.Links:<a href="http://lilyarthur.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Lilyarthur.com</a>Lily's book: <a href="https://booktopia.kh4ffx.net/Or19EA" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Dirty Laundry: The Crimes A Country Tried To Hide</a>QLD Judgement can be found here:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.queenslandjudgments.com.au/caselaw/qsc/2004/456" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.queenslandjudgments.com.au/caselaw/qsc/2004/456</a>Origins SPSA (Supporting people separated by adoption):<a href="https://www.originsnsw.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;https://www.originsnsw.com/</a><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/australian-true-crime/id1217681421" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Click here to subscribe to ATC Plus on Apple Podcasts and access all ATC episodes early and ad-free, as well as exclusive bonus episodes. </a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/863712102397629/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Join our Facebook Group here.</a><a href="https://crimestoppers.com.au/#report" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Do you have information regarding any of the cases discussed on this podcast?
