Dear All,

Since 10 years we have been working like this. I was put outside the Commission's walls to address the trafficking of children for intercountry adoption (ICA) through the NGO Against Child Trafficking (ACT), especially set up for this. Many COM staffers, till today, request, my advice, opinion, expertise because the COM lacks the knowledge. I have provided briefings, advice, etc since 10 years. At the same time, in public, and at work, I am treated by most as persona non grata.

Dear Ms. Day, Ms. Souka,

Hereby I inform you that I will not respond positively to the invitation of the Medical Service.

During a conference organised by Terre des Hommes International Federation on Children on the Move, Arun Dohle questioned the European Commission on adoptions from Serbia.

The issue remains unsolved.

Serbia Europe's best in extra-institutional child care

BELGRADE - In Serbia, most children without parental care live in foster families, with fewer than 1,000 boys and girls living in relevant institutions, which makes Serbia the best in Europe in this regard, Serbian Minister of Employment, Veteran and Social Affairs Aleksandar Vulin said on Monday.

Foster families have eased the burden on institutions to the greatest extent possible and, as a result, fewer than 50 boys and girls under the age of three live in care institutions, Vulin said, opening a conference on progress in the process of transition from user institutionalisation to community service in Serbia.

Soon, many of those children will also go to foster families, with the exception of a small number of children with special needs, for whom foster families are difficult to find, Vulin said.

Dutchman meets biological father in Mumbai

Sep 21, 2013, 05.05AM IST TNN[ Stanley Pinto ]

MANGALORE: India-born Dutch national Martijn Boerkamp met his biological father in Mumbai on Wednesday. And the meeting went well.

Against Child Trafficking (ACT) consultant Anjali Pawar who did the ground work for the reunion said: "In fact, Martijn's father said it was a really pleasant surprise, more so because it came with another surprise package, a daughter-in-law.''

"Meeting Martijn may have been surprising for his biological father, but it was gratifying for me since he accepted everything gracefully. Martijn's father said he was just 14 years old when he was in a relationship and was sent to the Middle East immediately by his family to discourage the relationship. When he came back during his vacation, he tried hard to find out about her, but was prevented by his mother. Even now his mother and aunt put up considerable resistance for the meeting between him and Martijn," Anjali said.
