Lahai Roi

A Memory of Moseley.

I have some paperwork and letters relating to my adoption in 1955. Apparently, this was a rescue maternity home managed by the formidable (sounding) Winifred M. Hellmuth SRN SCN.

The house appears to have been known as Lahai-Roi, a phrase with some religious conotations.

I have a flyer, with a picture on the front, the 1953 income and expense accounts inside, together with a list of the Trustees, Solicitor and Auditor on the back.

Would be happy to post a copy or email a scan if anyone is interested.

I hope that this is of interest to someone.

Comments & Feedback

John - I was born in Lahai-roi in May 1954. I have been fortunate to trace my birth mother and am now in contact with her family who emigrated to Australia in 1969!
I have never seen my adoption papers and when I contacted Birmingham Social Services they told me that Lahai-roi were not the best record keepers!
I would be really grateful if you could email me those details you posted about in 2012.
My email is joy.kirk@hotmail.co.uk
Hope this reaches you!

Joy Kirk
