Several high profile MPs in Ireland have called on the Irish government to launch an inquiry into forced adoption practices and illegal adoptions in the country.
A motion submitted by Clare Daly to the Lower House of the Irish Parliament was supported by Mick Wallace, Joan Collins, Catherine Connolly, Maureen O’Sullivan, Thomas Pringle and Thomas Broughan, reports the Irish Examiner.
Daly also told Parliament that a separate inquiry into adoption practices was essential.
Children’s minister Katherine Zappone carried out a scoping exercise in January on illegal births after illegal registrations were exposed at an adoption agency in Ireland. The scale of the problem is believed to be much larger than previously thought.
The review’s report has not yet been published. Daly remarked during the session in Parliament that “the review itself is limited to looking for evidence of illegal registrations and not illegal adoptions. The issues around this are much broader than illegal registration, and they are not presently being examined.”
Families in England are also making the same allegations in relation to local authorities registering births and adoptions illegally, with documented cases seen by this site as recently as last year.
A growing number of birth parents who have lost children to the care system are calling out adoption agencies who fail to record their child’s details properly on adoption certificates, and in some instances never going through with the adoption at all.
Child rights campaigner Michele Simmons, who made a Freedom of Information request in 2017, on the issue, told this site that she was concerned that the errors were deliberate omissions made with a view to making children taken into state care untraceable.

Natasha, in the early to mid 2000’s I spent much time researching for an adoption agency, spending my time searching for families of children adopted from Ireland to the uk. The stories of subterfuge were often mind boggling at best.
In this day and age we would call it human trafficking.

My daughter has had 3.children forcibly adopted 1 at the age of 5 and 2 straight from birth, she has never received any paperwork or support from social services her eldest child. Was fostered at the age of 11 and is still fostered and now aged 14 they have not allowed her to see him for most of the time, she had had no rights what so ever, social services registered the 2 youngests births she had nothing to do with it and they put father unknown on them when they all have the same father! They also got them passports with no involvement of any of their family, there’s a lot wrong I believe with these children being taken and she was not mentally ill at the time, she is now broken as we all are the whole family is destroyed we all loved them vert much.

IF they are too old to be adopted lock them up and unlike criminals keep them in isolation without visitors,phones, or friends
Nearly 1,500 children in England are locked up by the state’: Children’s Commissioner
‘A third of a billion a year is spent on 1,465 children’
There were 1,465 children in England securely detained in 2018, of whom 873 were in held in youth justice settings, 505 were in mental health wards and 87 were in secure children’s homes for their own welfare. However, this number is likely to be an underestimate due to gaps in the data. These are principal findings of a report published by Anne Longfield, the Children’s Commissioner for England.
The report shines a light on the hundreds of children in England who are locked up in institutions across the country. The report, Who are they? Where are they? Children locked up, gathers together for the first time all the data currently available about those children in England living in secure children’s homes, youth justice settings, mental health wards and other residential placements, either for their own safety or the safety of others.
The report seeks to identify who these children are and where they living, the costs of keeping them locked up, whether these institutions always meet their complex needs and whether different decisions could have been taken to prevent these children being locked away.
Other main findings in the report include:
We spend around £300m a year on 1,465 children in England – excluding what we spend on those ‘invisible’ children whose settings we don’t have information about.
Medium Secure Mental Health Settings are the most expensive form of provision, at £1,611 a day or £588,015 a year. Secure Children’s Homes have an estimated cost per child of £210,000 per year, with Secure Training Centres at £160,000 a year and Young Offender Institutions at £76,000.

To state the farther as Unknown is just Criminal on the part of the SS. it seems from what you say that those Children have been stolen for shure.
just like the stolen Children of Spain, birth certificates were forged and false information stated etc. its a huge scandal that is still ongoing. the docu is in English as it was broadcast by the BBC.

Thank you for posting this video. Real eye opener and learning curve. Although, I actually feel quite sick now and it strengthens my belief my family is one of them from England with not one, but two forged then doctored adoption certificates where no trace of any adoption record on the GRO Register could be found.
I am very interested to hear from others who may have experienced the same.
Thank you!

More than 10,000 children in care went missing last year amid evidence that they are being groomed by paedophiles and exploited by drug gangs.
New figures from the Department for Education disclosed for the first time that the authorities lost track of one in 10 children in care in 2017, with some going missing more over a month.
