Baby girl involved in forced C-section adopted

The daughter of a mentally-ill Italian woman forced to give birth by Caesarean section in the UK has been adopted by “good and loving people”, a top family judge has announced.

The case, which first unfolded in secrecy, was later reported and commented on around the world and led to James Munby, president of the family division of the High Court, calling for “radical changes” and greater “transparency” in the family courts.

He has now disclosed for the first time that he had made an adoption order on April 1 this year.
