A MERSEYSIDE mum is making legal history by going to the European courts to get back her baby daughter, who was taken away and adopted.
In 2005, Pauline Goodwin, 39, had her three-day-old daughter taken away by social services.
She has not seen her baby girl in 15 months and has since been told that she was adopted.
Ms Goodwin said her fight to get her daughter back had been held up for more than a year because she was never given a copy of vital court paperwork to allow her appeal.
Now the Halewood mum-of-six is taking her case to the European Court of Human Rights in a groundbreaking case backed by a campaigning MP.
She said: “When they took her away, I made a promise to myself that I would never give up on getting her back.
