Between the 1940s and 1980s, thousands of unmarried women were sent to state and religious institutions across Britain where infants were taken from their mothers for adoption simply because they were born outside of wedlock. Over the course of our long-running investigation into the forced adoption scandal, ITV News has been contacted by dozens of people still searching for lost family. We speak to families who were torn apart by forced adoption and are still searching for each other after years apart. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on TikTok https://www.tiktok.com/@itvnews?lang=en Follow ITV News on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/itvnews/ Follow ITV News on X: https://twitter.com/itvnews
