Forced adoptions
Every year about 11,000 children are taken into local authority care without the consent of their parents.
Last year, more than 2,400 of them were forcibly adopted.
It is a controversial practice and one that is facing criticism not just in the UK, but from politicians in Europe where forced adoption is rare.
