Why my birth parents tried to keep me a secret

BBC Outlook

"How could a nun be my mother? It didn't make any sense at all."

For Brendan Watkins - who was told at the age of 8 that he was adopted - finding out his mother was a nun answered some questions, but raised a whole lot more.

Brendan tells the story of his detective work which led to discovering he is a Child of Priests in this episode of the BBC's Outlook program.

Children and young people in social care, and those who have left, are often subject to stigmatisation and discrimination. Being stigmatised and discriminated against can impact negatively on mental health and wellbeing not only during the care experience but often for many years after too. The project aims to contribute towards changing community attitudes towards care experienced people as a group.
