following:

regards to concerns relating to 'forced adoptions' i.e. without parental consent.
(b) In particular how many replies have been sent to the thousands of desperate
families, parents, grandparents etc trying to save their heritage from being
destroyed forever, behind the closed doors of family courts, away from the public
gaze.

versus how many parents objected but still had their parental rights removed i.e.
'forced adoption'; include figures relating to how many children in each group on a
yearly basis.

'forced adoption' i.e. where children were taken without the prior consent of the
