Manage episode 450830620 series 3608741
In this episode, host Nerys, an adult adoptee, sits down with Dr. Michael Lambert of Lancaster University to delve into the hidden history of forced adoption practices in the UK.
Dr. Lambert shares insights from his research on the state’s role in these practices, as well as his involvement in the 2023 Joint Parliamentary Committee on Human Rights Inquiry into the Right to Family Life, which led to formal apologies from both the Welsh and Scottish governments.
Together, they unpack the complex layers of state intervention in adoption and discuss how these policies have left a lasting impact on families and individuals. This is the first part of a compelling two-part conversation.
