Mother of newborn and three others arrested for ‘illegally giving’ baby to childless couple

Khan and Sayeed found a childless couple in Hyderabad who were willing to adopt a child... once the newborn's condition improved, the child was handed over to them, said an officer

Four persons, including a mother of a six-month-old, were arrested after the newborn was illegally handed over to a childless couple in Hyderabad, police said.

Cops are investigating if the child’s mother – identified as Shamima Shah – and her accomplices got any financial benefits.

Shah, who is already a mother to five other children, however, told police her husband had married another woman. He was not supporting them financially due to which she decided to give away her sixth child.

“We are checking if the four got any monetary benefits. But it appears Shah was not in a position to take care of a child and a childless couple wanted a baby. So, the newborn was handed over to them without following due legal procedure,” said an officer.

'We Were Once a Family' explores flaws in foster, adoption systems and 6 children's resulting deaths

In March of 2018, an SUV carrying two adults and six children drove off a cliff along Pacific Coast Highway. It was deemed a murder-suicide at the hands of Jennifer and Sarah Hart, a white lesbian couple who adopted the Black children from two families in Texas children on board.

When Houston reporter Roxanna Asgarian sought out the birth families of those children, she discovered a flawed and over-burdened child welfare system that routinely mistreats Black families. What started as a newspaper assignment turned into Asgarian’s new book “We Were Once a Family: A Story of Love, Death, and Child Removal in America.”

The book explores how and why those children were removed from their birth families and placed in the care of a couple who abused and eventually murdered them.

The birth mother of three of the children battled drug addiction. Her children were cared for by their aunt and a father figure who was not related to them, but were removed by Child Protective Services when the aunt asked their birth mother to babysit on a day she could not find other childcare.

The other three were removed from their birth family for medical neglect when one child was bitten by ants at a birthday party and their birth mother had a hard time finding a ride to the hospital.

Sweden: Moroccan children removed from their families?

Minister Nasser Bourita of Foreign Affairs, African Cooperation and Moroccans living abroad has explained the "kidnapping" of Moroccan children by Swedish social services to place them in Christian or gay foster homes.

Member of Parliament Abdellah Bouanou of the Justice and Development Party (PJD) posed a written question to Minister Nasser Bourita about "the agony of the Moroccan diaspora in Sweden, with regard to discrimination and the 'kidnapping' of children, to bring them into Christian or homosexual foster homes." The head of Moroccan diplomacy replied that, according to unofficial estimates, these are the children of several dozen Moroccan families. Only two children of Moroccan families were taken away from their families by Swedish social services and placed in foster care, Hespress reports .

Bourita assured that his service has been following the file "with great interest" and through the Moroccan embassy in Sweden, which is in contact with the Moroccan diaspora in the country, to inquire about the cases of Moroccan children removed from their families. "In addition, the Moroccan representation has contacted the two families involved, as well as their relatives in Morocco , to follow them closely," the foreign minister added. The Moroccan diplomatic services' investigation found that the phenomenon is explained by "the non-assimilation of the country's laws by a significant number of newcomers to Sweden."

The written question to the head of Moroccan diplomacy follows a controversy stemming from accusations against the Swedish authorities by Muslim associations. According to the latter, the Swedish authorities kidnap Muslim children and place them with Christian or gay families. The allegations have been denied by the Swedish authorities and the ambassadors of the Muslim countries involved.

You Should be Grateful is a documentary sharing the experiences of adoption by adoptees

In February 2018, we held a getaway for adult adoptees, over two nights at Barrenjoey Hideaway in the Adelaide Hills. The aim of this getaway was to connect adopted adults in a relaxed setting, for them to share their experiences of what life has been like as an adopted person. Coinciding with this, we filmed interviews and created a documentary by which we hope to raise awareness of the complexities and issues surrounding adoption.

Five adoptees reveal their most personal experiences of adoption and how it has affected their lives.

See how their seemingly unrelated life experiences resonate with others who’ve faced such extreme trauma so early in their lives but are somehow expected to be grateful. The common traits among adoptees, despite their seemingly different circumstances and the unspoken issues which sometimes surface decades later.

This new emotion-charged documentary dispels many myths which have kept adoptees silent for decades and helps unite them as a community working for better lives.

A not-to-be-missed documentary for anyone touched by adoption.

Sergey Nikolayevich Zasyatkin Cep?e? H??o?ae??? ?ac?????

In the year since Amrex and its entities folded, Sergey Nicholavich Zasyatkin had two heart attacks, his house and car were repossessed and his wife divorced him. However, those who saw him at the 341 meeting said he looked tan, fit and relaxed. Nothing like what a person should look who’d lost his companies, his wife, his house and his car. Maybe Serg has good genetics or he is still working scams unabated.

Is Sergey down, but not entirely out? Have those losses, to reiterate — his house, his car, his companies, his health, his soulless wife — enough to keep him out of the adoption gig? What do you think?

Serg’s info page was found on “Moy Krug” (My Circle), a Russian version of Facebook. It’s complete with photos of Serg, and previously unknown to us, his three children. Check it out.

The front page says he’s lived in Atlanta since 1990. He lived originally in Ukraine and not Russia, having attended school in Yalta (1974-1975) and then becoming an “Urban Planner” at the Kharkov School of Urban Development from 1978-1983.

The “FotoAlbum” is enlightening. Eight photos of Serg, his children and some “friends”.

We are Philanthropy

by Stephanie Kripa Cooper-Lewter, Ph.D., M.S.W.

The minute my feet hit New York City streets this past June, I was struck once again by nonstop lights and the hustle and bustle among a diverse array of people from all walks of life. Visiting this city is always an adventure. While walking in the heart of Times Square, I paused to reflect on Muhammad Ali’s photo prominently displayed across a mega digital billboard; Ali had passed away one week earlier, the greatest boxing legend in the world.

I traveled to New York to participate in AAPIP’s National Network Convening and Giving Circle Campaign Celebration. Joined by my fellow Roshni Sister, Harley Place, AAPIP’s opening plenary deeply resonated with the audience as participants from Asian American, Pacific Islander and Native communities from around the country stood and shared their I Am Philanthropy stories. I was invited to add my story and what inspired me to lead Roshni, Lost Sarees National Women’s Giving Circle. The group collectively laughed and shed tears as we listened to the profoundly compelling stories. I saw a common thread in our journeys: a strong personal commitment to give back and willingness to be a part of a healing movement in order to see our families, along with our communities, fully supported and whole.

With Muhammad Ali’s recent passing, AAPIP Board member Suk Rhee’s plenary remarks highlighted Ali’s journey and commitment to justice, lessons from his life that we could learn from and apply to our own. She challenged us to defy the conventional, to risk something meaningful in our quest to make an impact, and reminded us we are so much more than our every day roles. As she neared her closing, she shared this quote by Ali that has stayed with me: “Boxing was nothing. It wasn’t important it all. Boxing was just meant as a way to introduce me to the world.”

Philanthropy, too, is nothing and unimportant if it doesn’t introduce the struggles, heartaches, and triumphs of our beautiful communities to the world. In Hindi, Roshni means light, brilliance and brightness. I am so proud to be connected with nine other remarkable women who serve as Roshni Inaugural Founding Members, spreading their light and love with others through giving, service and leadership: Rebecca Peacock in Washington, Sumitra Dorner in Minnesota, Parul Agrawal in Arizona, Roshni Rao in Maryland, Reshma McClintock in Colorado, Anuradha Murali in South Carolina, Jahnavi Muppaneni in Texas, Harley Place in New Jersey and Courtney Cooper-Lewter in North Carolina.

Looking inside Miranda and adopted child Mica: 'This house is a wink from heaven'

“In Haiti, Mica didn't have a mirror, so it hangs above her play corner. It is special for her to see herself,” says Miranda Tollenaar (49). She recently started living with her adopted daughter in a 'no longer so humble home' in Arnhem.

“I used to live in a small house. Too small for Mica and me together. My dream was to find a house for the two of us, within walking distance of Mica's school. But I never thought it would work.” The Arnhemmer searched for a long time for a suitable, larger home and out of desperation she even enlisted the help of a TV program . Miranda eventually found her place in the Spijkerkwartier.

A place of your own

"This house brought us peace after the adoption period." It lasted eleven years and gained momentum when Miranda was allowed to pick up Mica after all these years. “It gives us a fulfilled feeling that we have everything we want here. A delight!” De Arnhemmer refers to, among other things, the amount of space (76 square meters), two separate bedrooms and a garden. "I always thought that combination was not feasible, but now we both have our own place."

'Really our moment'
