CoramBAAF welcomes the Government apology for historical adoption practices 

News and updates-

The Government has today announced an apology for historical forced adoption practices in England. CoramBAAF welcomes today's announcement. This is a long overdue apology which recognises the role of the state and public institutions in these practices in England, and the lifelong impacts on those affected. Practices, mainly between 1949 and 1976, but not exclusively, saw many thousands of mothers being separated from their babies through coercive practices, a denial of choice and a culture of shame.
