Interesting take on the UK Government's apology for adoption

I'm from the UK and I've been mulling over the recent 'apology' from the UK's prime minister and I really don't know what to do with it. It's made me think more about what my adoption has meant and what it has cost me. I just read this and it hit hard because it kind of speaks to me as an adoptee, as an individual, not the product of a system that only has the birth mother at the centre. I feel these apologies rarely put the adoptee at the centre if they even get a mention at all.
