We always seem to hear about the Aboriginal stolen generations but never "The “white stolen generations”, which was much larger than the Aboriginal babies taken from their mothers.

Did you know that in Australia there is another stolen generation, one which shares the pain and consequences? It’s called the “white stolen generation” to distinguish it from the Aboriginal stolen generation.

In the five decades up to 1982, the newborn babies of young, single women were forcibly removed from them for adoption, a practice sometimes called ‘baby farming’. Mothers were drugged, tethered to beds, not allowed to see their babies, told they were dead. Many of these adoptions occurred after the mothers were sent away by their families due to the stigma associated with being pregnant and unmarried.

More than 250,000 white mothers lost their babies to forcible removal at birth by these past illegal adoption practices. Groups such as Adoption Loss Adult Support and Apology Alliance offer help and support.

Between 2010 and 2012 apologies were offered by Western Australia, South Australia, ACT, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania. Prime Minister Julia Gillard offered a national apology to those affected by forced adoptions in 2013.

I've known two women, who had that happen to them. One, the family forced the adoption due to age, and the other, the nuns.

Regarding other 'stolen generations'; is it likely we will sued by some that were not stolen? in light of the treatment of children in some communities.

What about those abducted by aliens???
