DADDY: DONEGAL MAN’S POETIC TRIBUTE TO THE FATHER HE NEVER KNEW

written by admin March 21, 2012
FacebookTweetLinkedInPrint

CO Donegal man John O’Donnell, who was adopted as a child, told us earlier this month how he had tracked down his birth father’s family.

Churchill man John also wrote a moving article for donegaldaily.com  detailing his 55-year search for his birth mother.

John has revealed that his search for his birth father has proved successful.

And although he is dead, John has discovered he has a half-sister and eight half-brothers in Co Cork.

John has penned the above poem about his birth father.

John’s previous articles are here: https://www.donegaldaily.com/2012/02/16/a-journey-of-hope-and-heartbreak-from-cork-to-donegal-my-55-year-search-for-my-mother/
