Next, he calls to the Good Shepherd convent on the Ormeau Road and talks to the Mother Superior about how some women come from very far away but most are from Northern Ireland. Most babies are placed for adoption. An anonymous unmarried mother talks to Leslie about her treatment at the Salvation Army and her future.
