In the four decades after the Second World War, more than 200,000 women were forced to give up their babies for adoption through practices run by church and state. Decades later, many are still traumatised and unable to reconnect with the children they never wanted to give up. Sarah Corker meets those campaigning for a formal apology from the UK government

Forced Adoption: Britain's Silent Scandal - Tonight airs on ITV1 Tyne Tees at 8:30 PM, Thursday 20 February. (Subtitles, new.)
