A sigh of relief seemed to have gone across the UK today – thanks to this announcement by the Australian PM:
Prime Minister Julia Gillard has issued an apology to people affected by Australia’s forced adoption policy between the 1950s and 1970s.
Tens of thousands of babies of unmarried, mostly teenage mothers, were thought to have been taken by the state and given to childless married couples.
Many women said they were coerced into signing away their children.
… practices that were unethical, dishonest and in many cases illegal.
The report was based on submissions by hundreds of women.

In its way of reporting the good news, the excellent blog Researching Reform points out that Australia has always been something of a leading light! More

The article Parliament apology on forced adoptions accepted, but mothers still feel hurt is a second interesting ‘precedent’ from New South Wales (NSW). At the time, babies were taken from unmarried mothers!
In 1996, the Royal Commission into NSW Police took place which resulted in reports on corruption, reform and paedophilia.
Here, 91 MPs are recommending a Royal Commission, by having signed this Early Day Motion.
What if the UK Parliament
- acknowledged that forced adoption is a punishment without crime and the removal of babies at birth a violation of human rights?
- apologised for all wrongful adoptions and promised to re-investigate?
- contacted all children and invited them to “Post Adoption Resource Centres” to process their traumatic separations?
- compensated all parents for the grief and trauma of institutional abuse?
- considered re-investigating over-zealous Social Services‘ decisions of children in ‘care’?
- took an active interest in John Hemming MP’s Family Justice Bill that will be debated on October 26th? More

This article in Slovak News in English raises suspicions about wrongful adoptions internationally! I just find it strange that the emphasis is on adoptions rather than ‘care’.
Here, Kent on Saturday picked the topic up as Thousands of kids live in care in the aftermath of Baby P.
And I wish I knew who counts all the children who run away and go missing. And who goes to find and help them!…
Or do we have to wait until they find their birth parents via Facebook? If you search there, you’ll find quite a few groups of victims.

While Wall Street and its Journal reached eastwards, into ‘Emerging Europe’, I guess it came as a surprise to learn about this Slovakian family that was broken and destroyed by Surrey Social Services.
Let’s hope that, soon, everybody knows that the Adoption system is UK’s shameful secret.
But then, the UK is unique in five points, as put together by Ian Josephs who, with a law degree from Oxford, has watched Forced Adoption since the 60s.
Here’s a mainstream media overview that should have made a difference already, but hasn’t… And here is a wonderful selection of photos to remind us of LIFE between birth and death…
On October 26th, John Hemming MP’s Family Justice Bill will get its 2nd hearing. How many MPs will be there??? Use WriteToThem to ask yours!

Now we get to read it in the Dail Mail: Slovakian grandmother wins right to challenge High Court adoption ruling keeping grandsons in the UK
- She wants the boys, who were born in England to Slovakian parents, to leave the UK
- Social workers intervened after one suffered an injury thought to have been caused by his father.
Meanwhile, the boys are staying with their foster / adoptive parents…
But if the adoption is reversed, this may become an important precedence!

There is a new blog on the child snatching block: We Can Change the World.
That’s where people are invited to log the facts of their dramas and sufferings.
Similarly, I’d like to invite people to log the ‘glitches’ they have experienced, by addressing titles such as:
- Social Services – Thresholds
- CAFCASS
- Children’s Guardian
- Legal Teams
- Children’s Solicitor
- Family Courts
- The Secrecy can not produce anything good.
- Social Services reports are taken as FACTS.
- Families statements are not taken into account.
- Foreign Nationals

ITV Wales have looked into what happens to the 5,000 children in “care” in Wales. Their text says:
An ITV Wales investigation has revealed the true challenge facing our adoption services across Wales.
And with the number of children in foster care, homes and other servies soaring to a record high, the figures we’ve uncovered make grim reading
There are currently five thousand children who are in care in Wales. Many of those are not suitable for adoption, but of those that are only 200 complete the process each year
The average time for an adoption is just over two-and-a-half years.

This article was published by The Telegraph EIGHT years ago!
But the circus continues with different clowns and, according to experts, got WORSE… Here are the highlighted quotes:
I feel like a surrogate, who has given birth to a baby for a childless couple.
Our image is of trendies in sandals who snatch babies.
Some social workers show surprising hostility. The are like warriors going into battle.
Here’s the criticism from then, still valid today:
