The Parliament of Latvia has issued a formal complaint to the UK House of Commons, claiming that children of Latvian descent are being “illegally and forcibly adopted by British families,” says the article. The complaint was issued in light of a recent case of a six year-old Latvian girl who was removed from her mother’s care. The girl’s mother believes that her daughter was taken away unnecessarily and that decisions about her daughter’s placement have been made without her. According to the article, other Eastern European countries have made similar complaints regarding British adoption procedures in recent years.
