I heard this on the news today and it seems they have been going for some years but not been getting much response.
Update 25 May 2021
To all our wonderful Supporters – Good news at last from the MAA committee
Today a letter from the Movement for an Adoption Apology (MAA) was delivered by David Amess MP to Boris Johnson, Prime Minister asking for an apology for historical adoption practices.
[As was given in Australia by the Prime Minister Julia Gillard in 2013 in the Australian Senate]
A really wonderful speech!.
There will be a news item today about this letter and our campaign on the BBC1 Evening News at 6pm from Duncan Kennedy, a BBC journalist. Another item from him about adopted adults will be aired on Wednesday during the day on the BBC News Channel
Since February Duncan has interviewed a number of birth mothers and adopted adults. He has made a documentary about them all to be aired on the BBC News Channel and BBC iPlayer on Friday 28th .
All this has happened because despite letters to MPs, a Debate in Parliament in 2018 etc. etc. it has been very difficult to get a response from Parliament.
We have been in touch with Duncan for a number of years and value his determination to make our issue public. He was in Australia when the Prime Minister apologised and made a documentary.
They also have surveys for women who had babies taken from them, for the children taken and the families who adopted.

For some reason the way in which women, mainly unmarried mothers or women who were too poor to keep a child, were treated in really horrific ways in the UK has not had as much publicity as the Magdalene Laundries in Ireland.
