Mothers Apart from Their Children

Mothers Apart from Their Children (MATCH) has existed since 1979 as a non-judgmental support group, run by volunteers who are, or have been, mothers separated from their children after divorce, family breakdown, care orders, adoption or abduction. Separation can last several months, years or decades. Sometimes forever. In September 2006 MATCH was granted charitable status.
