Astrid Krag on explosion in adoptions: 'We talk about cases where the parents are bad'

The Minister of Social Affairs is, as she herself puts it, on the side of the children.

The number of children being adopted away from their parents withoutconsent - that is, by force fromthe authorities - has exploded in a few years, and that is basically good, says Astrid Krag (S).

- The figures show that it may well be that we in the legislation had the opportunity to forcibly adopt, but that it largely did not apply.

That is, there were children who would have benefited from an adoption away - from getting a new one,stable and lasting family - who have not got it, saysthe Minister in an interview with P1 Morgen.

The interview takes place after Zetland has uncovered how the high numbers coincide with pregnant women fleeing the country to avoid their child being adopted away. But first and foremost, they fall in line with a political ambition.
