In 1971 at the age of 16 years Judith Murray was unmarried and pregnant. Like many young women in her situation she was forced by circumstances to leave her family of origin to take up residence in homes for unmarried mothers for the confinement of her pregnancy. Her baby was removed from her immediately after the birth and subsequently placed for adoption. To date there has been no reunion with her lost son. This narrative is a holistic account of one woman's journey that describes her unique experience of losing her baby to adoption. A grief experience for an adoption trajectory is life-long. Over the past 43 years Judith has sought various avenues for healing. These include psychotherapy, spiritual practices and creative pursuits. Beginning in 2010 the Australia Government offered apologies throughout the country to address former policies and practices that affected many people due to an adoption experience. Judith has outlined three parliamentary apology events that she attended and her part in them and the affects these have had on her life. Judith's narrative is proof that healing is possible for tragic circumstances in life. Her story is one of courage, strength, determination and hope; that it is possible to rise above persistent grief and find ways to heal. This narrative will provide hope for those seeking healing for an adoption experience as well as an insightful case study for psychotherapists who are seeking to understand the impact that losing a baby to adoption can have.
