The Government should provide services to support families and end any discrimination or human rights abuses.","additional_details":"We believe the laws need to change surrounding laws regarding children, to end and ban adoption. We support this proposal because we believe children deserve positive relationships with their biological parents, and that children services’ assessments are discriminatory and are destroying families. \r\n \r\nWe believe adoption should be illegal, that the foster care sector should be entirely closed down, and that it should be illegal to remove children from the care of their biological parents.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":31,"closing_date":"2026-12-11","created_at":"2026-05-12T17:11:03.273Z","updated_at":"2026-06-20T20:19:40.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-06-11T12:18:41.556Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-05-13T16:45:40.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Rhea Babla","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"DfE","name":"Department for Education","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-education"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":31}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Basingstoke","ons_code":"E14001078","mp":"Luke Murphy MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bournemouth East","ons_code":"E14001115","mp":"Tom Hayes MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bournemouth West","ons_code":"E14001116","mp":"Jessica Toale MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Brent East","ons_code":"E14001122","mp":"Dawn Butler MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Chesterfield","ons_code":"E14001165","mp":"Mr Toby Perkins MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Corby and East Northamptonshire","ons_code":"E14001179","mp":"Lee Barron MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Croydon West","ons_code":"E14001188","mp":"Sarah Jones MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Worthing and Shoreham","ons_code":"E14001218","mp":"Tom Rutland MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Gorton and Denton","ons_code":"E14001251","mp":"Hannah Spencer MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Halifax","ons_code":"E14001262","mp":"Kate Dearden MP","signature_count":4},{"name":"Hertsmere","ons_code":"E14001284","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Oliver Dowden MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Horsham","ons_code":"E14001294","mp":"John Milne MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Kenilworth and Southam","ons_code":"E14001309","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Jeremy Wright KC MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Lewisham East","ons_code":"E14001331","mp":"Janet Daby MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Leyton and Wanstead","ons_code":"E14001334","mp":"Mr Calvin Bailey MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Milton Keynes Central","ons_code":"E14001369","mp":"Emily Darlington MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Newcastle upon Tyne East and Wallsend","ons_code":"E14001378","mp":"Mary Glindon MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"North Cotswolds","ons_code":"E14001386","mp":"Sir Geoffrey Clifton-Brown MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"North East Derbyshire","ons_code":"E14001391","mp":"Louise Sandher-Jones MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"North West Leicestershire","ons_code":"E14001404","mp":"Amanda Hack MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Scunthorpe","ons_code":"E14001462","mp":"Sir Nicholas Dakin MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"St Helens South and Whiston","ons_code":"E14001510","mp":"Ms Marie Rimmer MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Stalybridge and Hyde","ons_code":"E14001515","mp":"Rt Hon Jonathan Reynolds MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Stretford and Urmston","ons_code":"E14001528","mp":"Andrew Western MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Witney","ons_code":"E14001591","mp":"Charlie Maynard MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Dwyfor Meirionnydd","ons_code":"W07000096","mp":"Rt Hon Liz Saville Roberts MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Monmouthshire","ons_code":"W07000101","mp":"Catherine Fookes MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North East","ons_code":"A","signature_count":1},{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":4},{"name":"Yorkshire and The Humber","ons_code":"D","signature_count":5},{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":4},{"name":"West Midlands","ons_code":"F","signature_count":1},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":1},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":4},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":5},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":4},{"name":"Wales","ons_code":"L","signature_count":2}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
