It is a new day and we have another scandal. I refer to the scandal of illegal adoptions. I do not think it comes as a surprise to anyone because many of us have spoken to women who have lived in such homes and those who had their signatures forged and their babies taken away from them to be sold or traded. This is what happened in this country. Now, we have 126 cases that have been identified as part of the scoping exercises but we know that there will be thousands more. I wonder will the people who are responsible for this - Government, religious institutions and so on - be advised to go to and confess their sins?
