UK’s Starmer apologizes to mothers and children traumatized by decades of forced adoptions
LONDON: British Prime Minister Keir Starmer on Thursday apologized to women forced to give up their babies and to those separated from their mothers at birth by a system of forced adoptions that targeted unmarried women in the decades after World War Two. An estimated 185,000 children were separated from their mothers in Britain. Starmer apologized on behalf of the state for the lifelong trauma it had caused. “On behalf of the whole country, I say it to every single person impacted: we are deeply and profoundly sorry,” Starmer told parliament.
