What's the deal with Catholic charities??

I am one of those babies, but only just now found out about what the Catholic Church was doing to unwed mothers, pressuring them, lying to them, etc. I was adopted into a white, middle class family of narcissists. I was left alone a lot, only saw my dad one in a while, and ended up very messed up. Messed up my whole life. Parents were divorced by the time I was 9. I only recently began to actually be able to take care of myself like an adult. I'm now looking for some kind of recourse. I hope it's out there somewhere.
