Description
Denied a Mummy is a heart-wrenching story about three siblings, Sean, Dougie, and Mary, who have faced unimaginable trauma in their young lives. After being left to fend for themselves by their drug-addicted parents, they are placed with a foster carer, Maggie, who must use her skills to help them heal and learn to be children again. As Maggie works to help the siblings, she becomes increasingly concerned about their future. When they are matched with a new family for adoption, she raises her concerns, but ultimately is powerless to prevent the adoption from going ahead. The outcome is devastating, and Maggie must fight to get the children returned to her care. A few months later, Maggie's worst fears are confirmed when the children are handed back to social services following the breakdown of the adoption. With her own fears and doubts, Maggie must now fight to undo the damage that has been done and give the siblings a second chance at a happy life.
