End the practice of 'forced adoption' via the family court system
In the UK today, forced adoption is still occurring, via the family court system. The parental consent can be disposed of by 'order of the court', basically this is now court ordered forced adoption. There are many vulnerable parents whose children are adopted without parental consent.
We are asking the Government to amend the Children's Act so that courts cannot order the adoption of a child without the parent's consent.
The focus should be on supporting parents, especially those who are vulnerable (with disabilities, mental health conditions, learning disabilities), rather than removing the children from their parents.
Parental consent to adoption must NOT be disposed of via court orders. This legislation has to change.
You can't sign this petition because it is now closed. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
