@SuChantry @sianwilliams100 @BBCRadio4 @AdultAdopteeMov Just listened to your amazing story, what a loss and what a society we lived in then. You had the final hand of aces to win in the end and it all came good with your clever work to find the path back. So well told with such empathy and emotion.
@SuChantry @sianwilliams100 @BBCRadio4 @AdultAdopteeMov It was incredibly moving listening to your story Su, thank you for sharing it. You described the ramifications of adoption so well. And what a beautiful picture of your mother this is.
@SuChantry @sianwilliams100 @BBCRadio4 @AdultAdopteeMov This was so moving - the symmetry of the story as well as rocks you faced in between. Thank you for telling your story with such clarity and grace xx
@SuChantry @sianwilliams100 @BBCRadio4 @AdultAdopteeMov Well done Su. Beautiful. Just listening to your interview. It is so tragic that we have all had to go through forced separations from our mothers by the state. A life time of loss. So glad you could comfort your mother at last. #forcedadoptions @HumanRightsCtte @HarrietHarman
@SuChantry @sianwilliams100 @BBCRadio4 @AdultAdopteeMov I listened and so much of it related to me - I wasn’t adopted but raised in care system - black dad white mum in deepest Hampshire - my mum had no support & did what she did - my dad tried to get me back but dads were not considered. Thank you for sharing your story - appreciated
Su's race against time to meet her birth mother on the last day of her life, after tentatively connecting with one another and discovering the remarkable similarities in their lives, is a grippingly emotional listen this morning on #LifeChanging #BBCR4 ⬇️ bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…
@SuChantry @BBCRadio4 @AdultAdopteeMov Well done Su, this was a tough one but has resonated with a lot of people - lovely to speak with you

@SuChantry @sianwilliams100 @BBCRadio4 @AdultAdopteeMov Just listening to this beautiful poignant interview, much love to you @SuChantry
@SuChantry @sianwilliams100 @BBCRadio4 @AdultAdopteeMov Lovely story. Thanks for sharing. From someone else from Peterborough ❤️
Today I get to talk with @sianwilliams100 @BBCRadio4 #lifechanging about the trauma caused by my forced adoption in 1968 . This beautiful woman - my birth mum Kay did nothing wrong , society thought otherwise . Thanks @AdultAdopteeMov for support from my “fog”
I've been moved by people getting in touch since the renewed calls for an apology. Birth mothers recounting familiar stories of shame, harm and lifelong damage. Adoptees recognising themselves in this history and that it is their past. Although slow, I will reply to everyone.
Listen again to Dr Michael Lambert @GrandCamouflage from @LancasterMedSch being interviewed by BBC Radio 5Live with Diana Defries @AdoptionApology about historic forced adoption; from 2:35 bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0…
My birth mother deserves the right to forgive herself 🥲 Until this happens to start with an apology from the government for the horrendous, detrimental and downright cruel treatment she was subjected to in 1967 at Salvation Army m&bh she cannot move on. She is now 76
@PamonGabriola Entirely agree that an apology is a powerful symbol changing public understanding, but also a means to open the door to other forms of support and redress which both @AdoptionApology and @AdultAdopteeMov have justifiably demanded.
@GrandCamouflage @NicolaSturgeon @joannaccherry Thank you 🙏Michael and Joanna for continuing to push for a UK government apology including for the now adult #adoptees of the UK forced adoption era who continue to endure the lifelong impact of that #humanrights violation @AdultAdopteeMov
@GrandCamouflage @ConversationUK Thank you for laying out the evidence so clearly for the government responsibilty for forced adoptions. #Adoptees need a UK government apology as the first step in mitigating the lifelong harm done to us 💚 @AdultAdopteeMov
It's nearly a year since the Scottish and Welsh Governments apologised for the historic forced adoption of children of unmarried mothers. Business is unfinished until Westminster acts because they were ultimately responsible for policy and practice. Please sign and share:
