Court hears adoption agency had no record of child's birth

A woman who claims her son was illegally adopted and that she was prevented from finding him, has said the adoption agency through which he was adopted, told her ten years later, they had no record of his birth.

Tressa Reeves gave birth to her son on 13 March, 1961. She did not see him again until January 2013. The court has heard he was given to a family in Carlow without an adoption order and that a new birth certificate was issued for him in a different name and with a different date of birth.
