Series 27: Forced Adoption: Britain's Silent Scandal

Over 200,000 women were forced to give up their babies for adoption through practices run by church and state in the four decades after the Second World War - these mothers were pregnant out of wedlock, a status then seen as the ultimate taboo. Sarah Corker investigates this generational trauma and meets those campaigning for a formal apology from the UK Government.
