Help me get my son back and change the current laws

I am petitioning to have forced adoption stopped, for those who have never harmed a child in any way, and to get my son home.

The link above is for my petition to UK government and parliament, It has just been approved for the site.

If anyone can sign or share it, it would be greatly appreciated.
All support so far has been amazing and I am so thankful to each and every one of you.
Late last year, proceedings were started by Bridgend social services, to safeguard my son, from emotional harm and earlier this year, it was decided by the social services and courts that my son would be placed for adoption, dispensing of my consent. This was my first and only child, and he was taken from me at birth, due to concerns of things I 'might do' in the future. Proceedings lasted seven months, and my appeals lasted another couple of months.

I was abused as a child, and due to this I was diagnosed with post traumatic stress disorder, also I was previously domestically abused, however this stopped several years ago. Even though I had moved far away from my family, and I had separated from my partner at the time, to prioritise my son, and my mental health had no effect on anyone other than myself, the courts still decided that it was too high a risk to place my child with me.

It was predicted that I would abuse my son, because my parenting skills would be learned from how I was bought up - even though I had actually completed parenting courses, and had never copied anything from my childhood.

I had mental health reports stating that I am mentally stable and that my mental health doesn't show any obstacle to my parenting ability, and with it being my first child, my parenting skill is untested - however the court decided that because it's not a future diagnosis, my mental health condition made me a risk.

I was also classed as being too vulnerable to parent a child, even though I had capacity assessments which said I have full capacity, mental health reports that say I am mentally stable, I completed all assessments, and attended all courses asked of me, (capacity assessments, mental health assessments, freedom programme, parenting course/connecting families) and I also self sourced personal development courses, however all of this was dismissed.

I also attended contact sessions, where each session was recorded, in note form, by a supervising contact worker. These contact notes, noted everything I done during these sessions, how I interacted with my son, and my parenting ability. Upon reading these contact notes, written by the contact worker, it showed my parenting in a positive light, however this was dismissed in the court also.

Although, I have Post traumatic stress disorder, and have previously been abused, I have NOT abused anyone myself, adult or child, emotionally or otherwise. I have no criminal record, warnings or cautions, I've never taken drugs, I do not drink alcohol and I have no addictions of any kind. I have never hurt anyone in anyway.

I love my son, very much, and I miss him. He is coming up to being a year old now, and more than anything I want to have him home with me, I want him to grow up knowing how much he means to me, and knowing that I didn't abandon him or give up. I fought this as much as I could, and appealed the courts decision, but was unsuccessful, being told that its the law and that I cannot appeal again. So I want to get this law changed. Please help me get my son home.

I also want to get the law changed, so that no other mother or father has to go through this. I want for it NOT to be an option for courts to place children for adoption, without consent, for anyone who has not committed a crime against a child, those who have no addictions, or those where domestic abuse is not or no longer present.

I believe that if they have concerns, but no actual harm has occurred, that at most, a child protection conference is held and a plan made, to work with the family, in order to give extra support if needed, or to meet regularly with families, to make sure that everything is going as it should, and to make sure that the child is being treated well.

Children have a right to be with their birth family, and due to my child being taken at birth, his rights were taken from him, as due to being so young, he doesn't have the ability to communicate what he wants.

Parents have the right to a personal and family life. However with the current family laws, it goes against this human right.

It is stereotypical and discriminatory to predict that someone is going to hurt their child, because of how they were treated as a child. It is wrong on so many levels to punish someone for crimes that were committed by others! Where is the justice , and where are the mental health and human rights in the law as it stands?

I worked with all professionals involved, and not one of them offered support. Not one of them acknowledged anything positive. They took all of my medical history, counselling notes, phone records, etc and they shared all of this personal information with many organisations and extended family. They went into detail about how I was treated as a child, and would ask if I ever enjoyed the abuse I endured. which is such a horrible thing to ask. They put me at risk many times by lying and twisting information, but I still didn't give up, and I never will.

Statistically, the majority of adopted children, develop attachment issues, get drawn to crime, or drug/alcohol misuse, and also get a feeling of abandonment, like there is something wrong with them, that made their parents leave them.

Therefore to adopt a child without parental consent, is emotionally damaging to a child. It is also damaging to the family who have lost their child, especially when they have not actually done anything for that to happen, and when it was based on a prediction.

The courts should not be allowed to predict our future. In any other court room, a crime has to be committed, and evidence needs to be presented, no mistakes/errors/contradictions in evidence, before any verdict is made, however in family law it seems that it is all based on future preditions, and personal options, rather than on actual crime.

Please help put a stop to children growing up without their birth family.

*I would like to point out, I do not object to adoption, which is a decision the parents have made themselves, I do not object, if there is a genuine safeguarding concern (actual harm) I AM objecting/petitioning against adoption without crime and without parental consent.
