Yn ystod y Sgwrs Mabwysiadu Fawr eleni, a ddaeth â’r gymuned fabwysiadu ynghyd i drafod y blaenoriaethau ar gyfer mabwysiadu yng Nghymru, ymddiheurodd Julie Morgan, y Dirprwy Weinidog dros Wasanaethau Cymdeithasol, yn bersonol i’r rhai yr effeithiwyd arnynt gan arferion mabwysiadu hanesyddol.
Dywedodd Mrs Morgan:
“Er bod arferion mabwysiadu gorfodol yn bodoli ers cyn datganoli yng Nghymru, maen nhw wedi cael effaith barhaol ar bawb a’u profodd – ar y rhieni a’r plant. Hoffwn fynegi fy nghydymdeimlad dwysaf â phawb sydd wedi cael eu heffeithio gan fabwysiadu gorfodol hanesyddol. 
“I’r holl ddioddefwyr, hoffwn fynegi fy edifeirwch a fy nghydymdeimlad dwysaf - eich bod wedi gorfod dioddef arferion hanesyddol mor ofnadwy - a hynny oherwydd methiannau cymdeithas. Am hyn, mae’n wirioneddol ddrwg gen i."

During this year’s Big Adoption Conversation event, which brought together the adoption community to discuss the priorities for adoption in Wales, The Deputy Minister for Social Services Julie Morgan made a personal apology to those affected by historic adoption practices.
Mrs Morgan said;
“Whilst forced adoption practices predate devolution in Wales, they have a lasting legacy on all those who experienced them – for both the parents and the children. I want to put on record my profound sympathy to all those who have been affected by historic forced adoption.
“To all the victims, I would like to convey my deepest sympathy and regret that due to society failing you, you had to endure such appalling historical practices. For this I am truly sorry.”
