(StarWars) How do/did the Jedi recruit more members?

How do the Jedi find children that are force sensitive early enough to begin training and how do they get them to join the order? Also what about the parents? Can they refuse to hand over their kid or do the Jedi just recruit from the lower classes where the kids have a better future in the order then at home?

The answer to whether Jedi can just take children from their parents is 'yes'. Jedi will usually seek parental permission, but they do have the legal authority to take custody of any force sensitive child they find below a certain age. 

The process is done through the Acquisition Division, who mandate mandatory blood tests on all newborn children on Republic Worlds, and if their midichlorian count is higher than normal,  that information gets sent back to the temple on Coruscant, where the information is stored on the Kyber Memory Crystal. The Acquisition Division then uses that information to find force sensitive children and take them back to the temple to be trained.

If the child is old enough to have formed attachments, they aren't trained. If they are adults when they're found and they're using their powers irresponsibly, they have a choice of joining the order, stopping their use of the force, or being killed.

Once a child has been trained in the use of the force, they can never return to their families because it would be considered too dangerous.
