You were put up for adoption … in error

The media are not allowed to reveal the child's name or sex and English does not provide a neuter term other than 'it'.

Let me help you.

"And they probably won't come back"

It has to be a balance I suppose, between the child's welfare in either alternative and the rights and welfare of the parents. Because let's not forget that two adult lives are potentially being destroyed here.

For me personally, it doesn't seem like the child's welfare would be negatively affected enough to outweigh the needs of the parents. I'm no expert but that's my view.

Actually the pronoun "he" and any variant thereof has been said to have been used as a gender-neutral pronoun, in the context of the unknown.

I won't be surprised if the Dad tries to take revenge on whoever is responsible. It must be extremely tempting and I know this is exactly what my Dad would do.

Because clearly the best thing for your offspring is to grow up with one parent in jail...

Also clearly no one person is responsible, if anything its down to conservative government cuts.

If I were a father I'd sooner die in prison than see my child raised by a bunch of strangers.

A stable upbringing is always preferable to causing further distress by moving the child again.

Given its not intrinsically better to be with you birth parents there would be no advantage to the child of returning it.

You have to realise a year ago is a third of tat child's life, and a very significant amount of time developmentally

What are you talking about? There is such a thing as parental rights too - it's not always just about 'what's best for the child'. If that was the case, the state would be removing children wholesale from millions of parents to for being too young/immature, for not having money to lavish on the child, for not reading bedtime stories to them, etc. It is only in the extreme cases - gross negligence, physical and emotional abuse - that the state abrogates parental rights to keep the child.

Similarly in this case there should have to be shown to be an extreme negative effect on the child to being returned to their biological parents for them to be refused to take it back.
