30 Years Looking For Mum

Outlook

Available for over a year

Regina Louise grew up in the American state of Texas. Her parents weren't able to look after her so she was left in the care of a string of people, one of whom abused her. Regina went into care where she met her one ray of sunshine, a youth counsellor called Jeanne. However, she was separated from her by a system that felt inter-racial adoption harmed children. As you'll hear, it wasn't a happy childhood. She spoke to Petrie Hosken about her experiences. (Photo: Jeanne Kerr and her adopted daughter Regina Louise. Credit: Regina Louise)
