May, even though I know your story and will never forget it, my heart breaks every time I read something about it. What those people did, taking you from your mother while she explicitly said she wanted you with her, is horrible. I hope the UK government will at least offer apologies for their actions. Even though that will not erase your history, it will definitely be and mean something.
I never can understand the physical and mental pain and devastation the humans (and groups of them) can inflict upon others. Religions and other cultures feel they “know best” what they are doing and it destroys people. I am always sad and sorry to hear of your life and you get some resolution to help you. Sorry doesn’t help but it is a small acknowledgment. Hopefully you can better. 💛
Dear May, even though I know your story, reading it moved me deeply. My heart breaks for your mother and everything she was forced to endure. And for you, for having to grow up without her. The idea that a child can be taken from its mother like that feels unbearable. It also makes me furious! Where do people think they get the right to make decisions like this, to interfere in lives so profoundly and cause such lasting damage. I am truly glad you wrote your story. Your voice matters, and you matter! It is important that all mothers and children who had to live through this are finally being heard. Thinking of you! ❤️
Absolutely abhorrent! I've seen the films and read about this practice. It sickens me. I can't even begin to understand your trauma and am so sorry you were a victim of this.
Dear May, even though I know your story, the excerpt from your mother's letter broke my heart again. This heinous act of forcibly removing a wanted child from her biological mother is simply criminal. The worst transgression against women and children imaginable, leaving years of harm in its wake. The patriarch is speaking loud and clear in your history, as it does for so many other women across the globe. Every day, a new horror is revealed in the Epstein files, and it's the survivors who suffer the most in this nightmare. I'm glad the tables are being turned into a forced recognition of the UK's sordid past. I hope a formal apology will be issued soon, but I'm not holding my breath after seeing the disgraceful lack of accountability here in the U.S. As an adoptive mother, I feel deeply for both adoptive and birth mothers and send you compassion and empathy for your struggles through this mire of deception and control over another's autonomy. I will never stop working on our behalf, my friend. Much love to you. 💛🕊️
Rebecca your words often bring tears to my eyes - today is no different. When I think of the good side of adoption I always think of you and your son. 💛

Thanks Marie - yes it would mean something and also the clarification they won't ever do something like that again <3
Exactly! <3

thanks Steve - I really do think if England at least apologised I’d feel sure that such atrocities would not happen again
