Wales Adoption

In 2017 the Welsh Government set a strategic target for the number of Welsh speakers to reach 1 million by 2050.

Ann Keen was forced to give up her baby boy in 1966 aged 17. The Welsh Government has formally apologised to those affected by forced adoption.

Forced adoption largely affected unmarried women and their children who were adopted without them having a meaningful choice in the 1950, 60s and 70s.
