Letter: Congratulations, Clare, but new Adoption Bill will send us back to bad old days
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: I thought I had had the Sun delivered by mistake! How can the reuniting of a woman and her child given for adoption 30 years ago possibly be considered worthy of comment in a serious newspaper, no matter how sympathetic, or famous, the people concerned may be? To plaster the story, with a photograph, all over the front page must be a serious editorial misjudgement.
I hope this is not a sign of the direction The Independent is moving in. Exclusive stories are only as interesting as the actual content of the story, not merely by virtue of having been dug up by or (perish the thought!) "offered to" one newspaper in advance of the others.
