15,000 Kids and Counting
On average, one child is taken into care every 20 minutes in Britain. This series has unparalleled access to the entire adoption process, from social workers to birth parents and adopters.
Child protection levels in Britain are at a record high. Over 15,000 children were waiting to be adopted in 2013 - twice as many as five years earlier.
With unparalleled access to the entire adoption process, this series follows social workers, foster carers, birth parents and adopters as heart-wrenchingly difficult decisions are made about the future of some of Britain's most vulnerable children.
Episode 1 - The Decision
The adoption process begins with the most difficult decision of all: the decision to remove a child from their birth family.

Someone who knows a bit about the system will probably fill in the blanks on here.
I'll catch +1 later.
Probably won't contribute to the thread mind.
he really hasnt a clue. Who would leave a baby with him.
Yes she is.
Never mind the fact that the dad clearly had anger issues.
She's back on drugs by the looks of her.
No, not you at all. My friend is trying to get permanent custody of her Grandchild but at least it is family he stays with if she gets it.
Oh this is so sad
Maybe, but with a lot of help I think.
This is probably the best thing for Sophie.
I worked for Children's Services and they do try hard to support parents but some will never make it unfortunately.
Blimey what a job to have. I don't think I could do it unless I can be fully honest (but not rude) with parents who are not doing their duty but think everyone else is in the wrong. Plus it would be difficult not to fall for those babies! Maybe it's because I'm a mum myself.
Trying to leave someone that controlling would put her and her baby's life in danger.
He'd be waiting for her to leave the house...or just break in!
