 Lorraine Mcgee-Sippel

Born

1943 ​Crown Street Women's hospital in Sydney, New South Wales 

Removed

1943 Scarba Children’s Home in Bondi, New South Wales. Then adopted at 6 weeks of age and ended up in Marrickville in Sydney, New South Wales then Walgett, New South Wales

Personal Statement

In order to make sense of my life, and the trauma of being taken from my Aboriginal mother at birth, I needed to write my story – ‘Hey Mum, What’s a Half- Caste?’  And after the writing, publication, and launch of the book I was still learning things I would have liked to have known before. Such as, my white grandfather who signed my adoption papers wasn’t my grandfather at all. I dedicate this story to my mother, Hazel (1925-1994), who never recovered from losing me.
