Chelsey Woodward has not been able to see her daughter consistently after MCFD took the two-day-old baby from a Surrey hospital on Oct. 19.

Chelsey Woodward will never forget the moment her baby was taken from her by a social worker at Surrey Memorial Hospital.

Woodward’s daughter is now with a foster family and since the Ministry of Children and Family Development intervened, she hasn’t been able to see the newborn daily because of transportation issues. Guelke became involved with the family when Woodward’s mother called to express concern that the baby was going to be taken.

The Huu-ay-aht Nation argued that the mother wasn’t given sufficient time to bond with and breastfeed her baby before the child was apprehended. Following the ruling, MCFD and B.C’s Representative for Children and Youth issued a joint report acknowledging the harm an infant experiences when they are removed from their birth mother.
