The Adoption and Fostering Podcast
Kids & Family:Parenting
In this episode we speak to NHS historian Dr Michael Lambert. He has looked at the historic evidence of Government policy to promote and facilitate removal of children from mothers in the post war period. We discuss this as well as the move towards a formal apology from the government as well as from other players in the system at that time. The conversation is revelatory and puts into perspective and questions the idea that adoption was solely driven by society.
Certainly, as a topic it places contemporary adoption in context as well as considering how modern practice still echoes the historical roots of adoption.
The links below will take you to written work, evidence Michael's letter to the movement for an adoption apology:
The birth mother and the evolution of adoption policy and practice in England since 1926 by Dr Jatinder Sandhu
