Excavation Begins At Former Irish Mother and Baby Home

In Tuam, Ireland, there's a place where many babies and children died a long time ago.

It was called the Bon Secours Mother and Baby Home.

Now, people are digging there to find out what happened to the children.

The home was for unmarried pregnant women, who were often separated from their babies.

Many of the babies sadly passed away.

The government is searching for their remains to understand this sad part of the past.

It will take about two years to find and identify the remains.
