The Church of England prepares to apologize for its involvement in forced adoptions that affected around 185,000 children from unmarried mothers between 1949 and 1976 in England and Wales. Despite other groups and the state running these mother and baby homes, the Church has a draft statement expressing deep remorse for the lasting pain caused. Survivors and their families continue to grapple with trauma passed down through generations, prompting a recent Commons report to condemn the situation as abhorrent. The government is urged to issue an official apology, with Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer acknowledging the strong case for one. The Church has been reviewing its past through archives and survivor talks since late 2024, with more updates planned to aid healing.
