If you are in doubt, I did a thread last year on why it is important to understand the forced adoption of children of unmarried mothers as a state-driven, led and financed process rather than simply stigma, social values and reluctant relinquishment. x.com/GrandCamouflag…

First Minister @NicolaSturgeon has issued a formal apology to people affected by historical adoption practices. Until the late 1970s, forced adoption was a relatively common practice in Scotland. Many thousands of women and children were subject to it. ▶️bit.ly/3TyUuEQ

Watch as First Minister Nicola Sturgeon issues a “sincere, heartfelt and unreserved” formal apology in the Scottish Parliament to mothers, fathers, and families who suffered due to being forced to give up babies for adoption in 1950s, 1960s and 1970s
WA was the first State to apologise for the forced adoption practices of the past yet we are still one of the last to hold an Inquiry. I've called on the Premier to take this important step to help enable understanding & reconnection by those impacted.
