Now playing Season 1, Episode 2 — Gustav is sent back
In 2020, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced that more Danish children should be adopted. Since then, the number of adoptions has increased and more experts are now warning against the treatment we are exposing the children to in several of the cases. DR follows a series of adoption cases, where the children move several times and in the worst case can wait for more than three years before they end up with the adoption family. “Denmark is going to give an apology for what is going on,” assesses a psychological expert.
Gustav has been adopted. But his adoptive family no longer wants him. He is sent back to the foster family who took care of him right after birth. The plan is for him to quickly move on to a new adoptive family, but his foster parents are fighting for him to stay with them. Meanwhile, a 2-year-old girl is due to move from her foster parents. She gets 4 days to get used to a new family. Expires: 15 Mar 2028

A mother has had her first child adopted because she was found unfit as parents. Now she has a new child, but in another municipality, and here she gets to keep the child. "It shows the arbitrariness that prevails in this area," assesses an expert. Meanwhile, a grandmother struggles to get her granddaughter home to live so she can grow up in her biological family and avoid being adopted. Expires: 15 Mar 2028
