Welcome to another, slightly shorter, week.
These are the forced adoption stories that should be right on your radar:
- Abusive orphanages and forced adoption: delving into past child welfare practices that haunt the present
- This Person Wonders What They Owe Their Former Adoptive Mother. The Internet Responds

One of the articles above concludes with criticism of experts seeking to impose simplistic solutions onto the complex problems of child protection ………..
Well I have a simple solution to the present adoption problems .

Hi Natasha.I would like to ask for any information regarding forced adoption and how to beat it. Both my daughters were removed from my wife and I and adopted without our agreement or evidence of supposed unfitness of patenting.I have tried to get further information about us via the local ombudsman without success.Could you at least help me to contact the national ombudsman concerned with children’s services to help or advise me on getting genuine support of legal council as the solicitor I used was more helpful to children’s services than they were to my wife and I. Yours sincerely [edited]

Hi, and thank you for your comment. I’m incredibly sorry to hear about what you and your family have been through. There are lots of resources I can share with you. Firstly, if you type in forced adoption into this site’s search bar, everything we know about forced adoption will come up. This includes research, groundbreaking cases, how to protect your family from forced adoption, family experiences and a great deal more. You can also access free guides produced by the Children and Families Truth Commission, which is the UK’s first parent led commission into human rights violations inside children’s social care. The website has information about what we are doing (I’m a co-founder), guides which are produced by families offering information about your rights and how to protect them, how to make requests for information, how to enforce those requests if legitimate and more. Finally, there are a lot of support groups on the the internet, filled with very supportive parents and the community is lovely. If you would like details of those, I can share that information via email with you. In the meantime, this is the link to the commission’s website, which has the guides, links to support service and more on it: https://childrenfamiliestruth.com/

Remember that since April 2014
the new section 51A of the Adoption and Children Act 2002, makes provision for applications for contact AFTER an adoption order has been made.
Sometimes the adoption was not finalised and even more often the adoption broke down and the child was handed back into fostercare ! It is up to you to FIND OUT !!
IF YOU APPLY FOR CONTACT THAT IS ALSO A GOOD WAY TO FIND OUT IF YOUR CHILD HAS BEEN ADOPTED OR NOT !
