In response to our ITVX investigation, the UK government said: “This abhorrent practice should never have taken place, and our deepest sympathies are with all those affected.
“We take this issue extremely seriously and continue to engage with those impacted to provide support.”
In 2016 the head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales apologised “for the hurt caused by agencies acting in the name of the Catholic Church”.
Cardinal Vincent Nichols acknowledged “the grief and pain caused by the giving up of a child through adoption", and added that "the practices of all adoption agencies reflected the social values at the time".
