Make forced adoption illegal

Closed 160 signatures

What the petition asks

I know of many highly traumatised and distressed parents who have had their babies forcibly removed at birth when they never harmed them. The family courts need to stop granting adoption orders when they are opposed by the parents.
Parents can be traumatised by having their babies removed at birth or soon after and there has been no police involvement, just social services predicting the child might be harmed later on.
