The Church of England apologized Thursday for its role in forced adoptions as recent as the mid-1970s, acknowledging the painful experiences of many unmarried women at so-called mother and baby homes in the United Kingdom that were affiliated with the church. Many women and girls were forced to do menial labour as a form of "correction'' for having children out of wedlock, and their babies were sometimes described as commodities available to meet the demand for adoption, the report found. "We are profoundly sorry for the pain, trauma and stigma experienced — and still carried — by many people because of historical adoption practices in homes affiliated to the Church of England,'' Mullally said. "We have heard firsthand the accounts of mothers who were separated from their babies in circumstances where they had very few meaningful choices." During the period covered by the report, about 185,000 children born to unmarried mothers were put up for adoption in England and Wales.
