In response to your query:

I would like to know how many children have been forcibly adopted (against
parental consent and wishes) since 2006

I can advise that:

Of 93 adoptions between 1st April 2006 and 31st March 2010, 53 were
adopted unopposed and 40 were adopted once consent had been dispensed
with.

Please let me know if you need any further information.

Thanks.
