Prime Minister Keir Starmer formally apologized on behalf of the government, honoring Gilbert’s bravery and affirming that the shame lies with the state—not the mothers. Gilbert challenged the PM to support mothers instead of forcing adoptions, while he pledged to keep the conversation alive. With an estimated 60,000 unmarried mothers having their children taken in postwar Britain, and 36 such homes in Scotland alone, this moment marks a crucial step toward healing and accountability.
