Vanessa Brookes a 36 week pregnant
registered blind mother living in Calderdale with her husband Martin has been
informed that their is every possibility when her baby is born it will be
taken for adoption. Previous unfounded allegations by Warwickshire Social
Services have continued to plague this family's life, and have resulted in her
two older children being adopted without Vanessa's consent.
It would seem that he (In Camera) closed family court system is endorsing and
even encouraging Social Services to increase their Government Targets on
adoptions by granting the forced adoptions that come before their court, the
majority involving babies and young children. It is hard not to come to any
other conclusion when spurious allegations are inferred by the Social
Services. You see you there is no going back on a such a serious decision as
adoption, even when the High Court disproves the allegations at a later date,
as they have in Vanessa Brookes case.
Initially the government guidelines were to reduce the number of children in
care, most of whom are older children, some with severe handicaps, many with
social problems and behaviour disorders, who are an economic drain on the
local authorities. But instead of adopting out these children, the Social
Services are targeting tiny babies, some even unborn, and small children with
clean history's for the ever growing adoption market. None of these measures
are to do with "The Best Interest of The Child" they are all about economics
and meeting Government Targets. There were over 500???? enforced adoptions
similar to this in 2006???
How long before we return to the Golden Halycon Days Of Adoptions of the 50's
and 60's when babies were taken at the rate of 26k per year for reasons that
are now seen as punitive. The majority of mothers at that time, were
unsupported unmarried teenagers. They were deliberately isolated from their
friends and family by an army of Adoption Social Workers. Benefits were
withheld from them, some were even placed in institutions and unmarried
mothers homes were they were coerced into having their tiny babies adopted We
must all wake up and stop this happening again. We must not allow Social
Services to become those dictators of yesteryear. We must stop the family
courts granting these enforced adoptions against the most vulnerable of our
society, as at present they are concentrating on the blind, the disabled, the
mum's with learning difficulties, the smokers, the overweight, the sick. How
soon before the Social Services target all unmarried mothers of a certain
social/economic status as their predecessors did back in the 50s and 60s.
Vanessa Brookes and her unborn child need protecting from her local Social
Services and the In Camera Family Court System that promotes enforced unjust
adoption. A system that is more transparent would be preferable, and adoption
should not be granted in cases of dispute. If these simple measures were
carried out we would not be reading Vanessa Brooke's story as Social Services
would concentrate their efforts on the children that they are meant to be
helping.
