5:11Now PlayingUK Prime Minister Keir Starmer made a formal government apology Thursday for decades of forced adoptions of babies born to unwed mothers. "The shame was never yours. The shame is ours. And I say that on behalf of the whole country, I say it to every single person impacted. We are deeply and profoundly sorry," Starmer told British lawmakers. An estimated 185,000 babies of unmarried mothers were adopted in England and Wales between 1949 and 1976. Campaigners have fought for years for acknowledgment that women were pressured, deceived and threatened into giving up their babies.
Starmer met Thursday with a group of campaigners, who watched from the public gallery of the House of Commons as he delivered the apology. He said that women were “coerced, bullied or misled into feeling that they had no choice but to have their children taken away from them.” Alongside the apology, he announced support for affected mothers and children, including better access to adoption records and mental health support.
