Forced adoption

from Victoria Derbyshire's Interviews of the Week · host BBC Radio 5 Live

In an exclusive interview, one mother describes the decision to put her children up for adoption because she 'may' get back with her violent former partner as "cruel", "barbaric" and "completely draconian". The woman, who we're calling 'Lucy' has not seen her ex for almost two years. He is currently serving a prison sentence for raping her and an injunction is in place preventing him from going near her when he's released from prison.
