Adopted children face anguish as birth parents stalk them on Facebook

Adopted children face anguish as birth parents stalk them on Facebook

The natural parents of adopted children are increasingly using Facebook and other social networking sites to track down their offspring, flouting the usual controls and safeguards.

Adoption agencies are reporting huge numbers of calls from "deeply distressed" adoptive parents whose children have been contacted out of the blue.

Note: Stalk them my ass.

  1. Stalking my ass!!! I concur - adoption is a result of many possible variables - the natural parent who might legally have no other option other than Facebook or the likes can find like-problemmed parents, share solutions, solace, ideas, or, at best: REMEDY!

  2. A letter of complaint i have sent to the editor at the Guardian Newspaper-via e mail
    Alison Stevens Parents Against Injustice.

    Dear Sir

    With reference to the article that was highlighted in today's Guardian newspaper
    portraying adoption and social networking sites and parents trying to find
    information about their children, i am very concerned that these anguished
    parents have been highlighted in a negative manner, as well as Parents Against
    Injustice, a National Organization, that is well respected within Parliament.
    I spent quite a lot of time e-mailing PAIN clients, with regards to this
    issue, to take part in this cause and am very disappointed with the outcome of
    today's report in the Guardian.
    Many of these Parents have suffered miscarriages of Justice and forced adoption,
    by the unfairness of the secret family courts and this article, just adds to
    their misery.
    Many of my clients have been vindicated by the courts and Social Services, but
    have had their children wrongly taken into care.
    We have had the tragedy's of Sally Clark, now deceased, Angela Canning and the
    horrors of Cleveland, to highlight the tragedies involved, the newspaper on one occasion,
    mentions my ex co worker, it depicts his surname only, he is not a
    criminal,just a loving father that has lost his children to a corrupt
    system.
    In this case he has had his name vindicated by the family court, and Social Services.
    Kind regards Alison Stevens Parents Against Injustice www.parentsagainstinjustice.org.uk
