Remove forced adoption from Britain

Closed 733 signatures

What the petition asks

In Ireland, France and Spain forced adoption is illegal; in Britain, it is not. Why have we got less parental rights?
The role of social services is to support families and protect children from abuse, that shouldn't include taking children away from their parents with no proof of abuse, and without trying to work with families; these children are being separated from siblings and put at much more risk. The children are then getting put up for adoption with family members still fighting to keep them; babies and toddlers are getting put up for adoption extremely fast without parents being found guilty of anything.
