Instead of spending £88m to recruit more foster carers @JoshMacAlister should put those millions into supporting mums so kids don’t get taken into care in the first place.  #CareIncomeNow

See you WED 4 November at 12.30pm outside Central Family Court. The courts are now OPEN! We are stronger. STOP taking our children! STOP killing our children! #PovertyIsNotNeglect #CareIncomeNow

More than 64,000 children in Gaza have been murdered or injured since 2023 and those left are suffering violence, displacement and hunger! unicefusa.org/stories/more-5…

Our sisters in Philadelphia & LA are also protesting today demanding an end to sexist, racist, class & disability biased child removal, including by ICE v immigrant families. Our kids don’t belong to the state, they belong with their families @womenstrike_us

File on 4 is the first mainstream media recognition of today’s forced adoptions.The truth is now out!We’ll continue to campaign until the law is changed and adoptions without the consent of birth mothers and families are BANNED.Our children don’t belong to the State! @BBCfileon4

Removing children from loving mum causes REAL LONGLASTING HARM to kids & mums. Social services & family courts have no understanding and no empathy, they think they know best just because they have the power. Stop all forced adoptions now!

Victim of domestic violence, three children, one adopted, two now home: “On the day of the hearing the children were taken straight after court. I had about two minutes to say goodbye. There were 7 social workers & they dragged my youngest out of my arms & took all three.”

Grandmother: “Children's services over exaggerated everything & used the fact that my daughter has physical health problems & autism to literally make it sound as if she couldn't parent a teddy bear. Yet her fourth child is thriving. She really is.”bit.ly/4hGGrcR

Autistic mum of two adopted children, toddler lives with her: “When my last child was born it was very painful because I couldn't let my emotions show. Even though I had emotional attachment to my other kids, I could not show it. I had to keep it in. It's been exhausting.”

Adult adoptee: “My adopted family adopted two babies. I can only imagine that not many checks were done as they were extraordinarily abusive. My adoptive mother covered up and facilitated our adoptive father’s abuse, physical, sexual and emotional.”

Adult adoptee: “I felt more like a pet than a person. Something to show off, I was proof of how good [the adopters]were. 18 years of being unwanted & unloved & then it turns out my mum has wanted me this whole time and absolutely would have taken me back.”bit.ly/4zEFgST

Grieving mum:“As soon as anybody hears that your child has been adopted,you're viewed as if you must have done something wrong, even when they had come to no harm.Your child is gone. It's like living in perpetual grief, but you don't have a grave to visit.”bit.ly/3U7qZyK

Disabled mum: “the judge said one of the reasons the adoption was finalised was that social services forced their hand because they'd already placed her with the adoptive family even before a freeing order had been granted, never mind an adoption order.”

Victim of domestic violence: 1 child in care,1 adopted. "Social services manipulation of facts, rather than support, has ruined my & my children's lives,there's no getting back the years that we've lost together, all the things we could have done together.”bit.ly/4hMIqww

Many children are taken from mums & forcibly adopted: poverty conflated with “neglect”, domestic violence victims accused of "failing to protect" their children, disabled mothers needing help deemed unable to “cope” . . . #stopforcedadoptionsnow

Many assumed this barbaric practice stopped 40 years ago. It didn’t. See @BBCfileon4 confirming that 90% of UK adoptions are without parental consent. This most cruel abuse of power by the State must stop. #stopforcedadoptions youtube.com/watch?v=MeMZS9jE…

Look at the BBC File on 4 Investigations just broadcast – mums of kids forcibly adopted and an adoptee speak out, together with SNS and Disabled Mothers Rights Campaign @BBCfileon4 m.youtube.com/shorts/_rRdlg4…
