"I didn't give him up for adoption... he was taken by the state." About 250,000 women were forced to hand over their newborn babies for adoption between 1949 and 1976. A new BBC documentary, Stolen Babies, looks at the impact on the mothers and babies across the UK who were separated. The Scottish, Welsh and UK governments have apologised to those affected.
