Sir, - Thanks to Dr Desmond Connell I now know that, having being adopted as a child, I must have been an unappreciated and unwanted "gift" to my natural mother, acquired as a "product" by my parents through planned action on their part. I await more sage guidance so as to establish exactly who I should resent. - Yours, etc., Damien Conroy,
Upper Mallow Street, Limerick.
