Corruption has many shapes and the higher one gets, the more blatant and at the same time subtle it becomes.

No one would really accept if tobacco companies make public health policies.

In the area of child adoption, however, society accepts this.

Let´s have a closer look.

Danut, orphan requested by the Spanish, no longer can stay in Madirjac

 

Danut, orphan requested by the Spanish, no longer can stay in Madirjac

Publishing date: 17/02/2005
Danut, orphan of Madirjac called in and won the adoption of a Spanish family, was lost at roulette documents. Since the Department of Social filed late appeal against the decision of the Court to give a little adoption, the Court of Appeal had to beat fate nails in children. This will leave Spain when the adoptive family will be present at the gate "mother" who grew up now.

Last chance to remain as Danut Madirjac was that the DAS is to win at the Court of Appeal, appeal against the decision which the Court approved the adoption. If you would have tried this process, nobody knows how many chances would have been the boy to remain in the country. But it was even a chance. But the process has been lost even before the case got to be discussed. "The Court has granted a period of 3 days except for the introduction of appeal in the case of orphan Madirjac and lawyers from DAS knew that the term was used 15 days, which led to tardivitatea action at the Court of Appeal, the bearer of said word from the DAS, Eliza Mandiuc Chirica. The judges at the Court of Appeal rejected the contestation and the performance made by representatives of DAS. They cerusera practically suspended during the appeal trial of the procedure of entrusting the new kid his family established in Segovia, Spain. But because lawyers have intirziiat of incognizant cause in filing the last action that may have you forever in Iasi on Danut, prosecuting magistrates dismissed the appeal from the start without any further discussion in depth of the case.

"I will hide in the closet of Spanish"

The Court of Appeals was the last hope of the new "parents" from Madirjac to have little further in their yard. "He taught us so much incitement think we will never forget," said Maria Trifan, maternal assistant who took little care in following two years. Moreover, the little boy in the age of only 4 years old in the beginning to keep "the teeth" for his new family. His mother and has hopes in the new elected president of Romania, Traian Basescu: "The president went Basescu. Maybe he does not give the child to Spanish for only Nastase wanted him to leave her. And all this he said that Danut threatened that "I will hide in the closet of Spaniards" if you will have to leave their family.

The child was lost in abstraction

The struggle for justice in Danut started after one year. At the onset of demand for family adoption Spanish Juan Esteban Alba (43 years) and Lopez Herrero Maria de los Remedios (40 years) in the spring of 2004, social workers from Iasi were part of their superiors because of capital avizasera the foreigners. After the court found that the documents were old Spanish almost five years, and in May they had adopted a little different from Ukraine, DAS is returned and began to fight against the Spanish. To impress the court fund, the social Off the "mother" in Madirjac's Danut a statement it launched its promise to adopt a little. But this move was not enough for judges to decide the child leaving Madirjac. Especially since Spanish is the time between refacusera and prezentasera emotional and financial guarantees that indestulatoare the Iasi court to give him the boy. According to documents submitted to the file, the court decided the merits of child custody by family Madirjac Spanish lasind DAS at the last portion of an escape, an appeal in three days. But it lost the last chance to keep the boy more than the listlessness of impotence.

No adoption agencies in many districts of AP

Visakhapatnam: Several districts of the state, particularly the newly constituted ones, do not have functional specialised adoption agencies (SAAs). The agencies are tasked with the care and well-being of every orphan, abandoned, and surrendered child and aid in the process of adoption.

Even though structures/buildings for these agencies were developed long ago, delays in recruitment have made them non-operational. For example, staff recruitment at Paderu centre has been delayed due to local demands for allocating all posts to a particular community. Similarly, all 12 posts remain vacant in Nandyal, and 11 out of 12 posts are yet to be filled in Konaseema district. Of the 156 posts sanctioned for the 13 newly formed districts, 72 posts are currently vacant.

1930 Federation of Institutions for Unmarried Mothers and their Children (FIOM) From paternalism to support

Traditionally, unmarried pregnant women were a vulnerable group. Premarital sex was taboo, but it happened, voluntarily or not. A 'fallen woman' was a disgrace to the family. She was rejected by her family and anyone who worked was fired (unmarried pregnancies were common among servants). She stood on the street with her child: the just reward for her 'whoreish behaviour'.

Around 1850, wealthy citizens began to care about these 'fallen' women. In 1848, Rev. Ottho Gerhard Heldring and deaconess Petronella Voûte founded the Asyl Steenbeek in Zetten, intended for unmarried mothers, prostitutes who wanted to leave the profession and ex-prisoners who would otherwise end up in prostitution. The assistance went hand in hand with combating prostitution. Young mothers were subjected to a strict resocialisation programme in which the cultivation of a sense of sin was central, combined with education and childcare. Such a paternalistic civilising offensive would be unthinkable today, but for the girls at the time it was perhaps the only acceptable way out of their predicament. The initiative was followed, initially mainly in Protestant circles, later also among Catholics. The homes were mainly financed by donations via the church. Government support was rare.

The latter changed with the establishment of the FIOM in 1930. After the Sickness Benefits Act was passed in 1913, a heated debate broke out over the question of whether unmarried pregnant women were entitled to benefits just like married women (pregnancy was considered an illness by law). The proponents of equality drew the short straw; it was believed to promote debauchery. Unmarried motherhood therefore remained a private matter. The aid organisations joined forces and in 1930 united in the national, cross-pillar Federation of Institutions for Unmarried Mothers and their Child (FIOM), which aimed to create conditions for better care. At the founding meeting, 25 institutions were already affiliated. FIOM received subsidies from the government.

The focus of aid began to shift at that time. The idea gained ground that an unmarried mother could best give up her child. This was good for the child, because it would grow up in a loving environment. Adoptive parents benefited from this, because adoption was the only way to combat unwanted childlessness at the time. It was also good for the mother herself, the reasoning went, because she could start with a clean slate. The emotional implications of being separated for mother and child were not discussed.

However, the number of unmarried pregnancies did not decrease. Despite all the help, it still happened that children were abandoned or offered to childless couples without the intervention of third parties. In 1940, the FIOM set up a committee that advocated the prevention of 'unorganised' relinquishment of children and a better selection of foster parents. In 1956, the Adoption Act came into force. Since then, the FIOM has focused on the guidance of relinquishment and adoption. Between 1956 and the end of the seventies, approximately 25,000 mothers in the Netherlands relinquished their babies. Relinquishment was now almost completely accepted. Later, this attitude was criticised. Today, it is difficult to imagine the moral compulsion that emanated from it.

Under the influence of the democratisation movement of the sixties, with the emancipation of women and a more open morality with regard to sexuality in its wake, the paternalistic approach of the FIOM came under fire. Unmarried motherhood was no longer a 'punishment' for 'sin' and relinquishment was no longer promoted. FIOM faced competition from the new, radically oriented shelters for abused women . In addition, the introduction of 'the pill' had led to a drastic decrease in the number of unwanted pregnancies. All this forced FIOM to reconsider its course.

FIOM now also focused on finding housing, and the target group was expanded to include all single parents. The shelters were transformed into shelters and support centres for single parents in crisis or emergency situations. In addition, the organisation played an important role in the legalisation of abortion.
In 2012, FIOM is still active. Now as a national outpatient organisation that offers psychosocial help, information and advice to anyone with problems in the areas of desired and unwanted pregnancy, teenage pregnancy or parenthood, miscarriage and abortion, relinquishment, adoption, adoptive parenthood and searches for a parent or child in connection with adoption.

Delhi police rescue toddler from Vrindavan; 5 arrested for child trafficking

The police arrested a couple who were planning to adopt a child, two women who orchestrated the child trafficking and the couple’s relative who acted as a mediator in the business.


A team of Delhi Police, after a week-long search, rescued a toddler who was kidnapped and allegedly sold to a childless couple in Vrindavan, 210 kilometres away from Budh Vihar from where he was reported missing.

The police arrested a couple who were planning to adopt a child, three others, including two women who orchestrated the child trafficking and the couple’s relative who acted as a mediator in the business.

“The missing child has been rescued safely. Efforts are being made to nab one more accused,” Jimmy Chiram, DCP Outer District, said.

According to the police, the one-year-old child was abducted from Kanjhawala Road, near Rajni Gupta Hospital, around 10.30 pm on July 6.

‘DNA report aaya kya?’: Long wait for parents after their newborns were ‘put up for adoption’ by baby-selling gang

The gang is accused of coaxing poor parents to give up their newborns for adoption, after which videos of the children — along with their “prices” — would be shared with prospective buyers


Like clockwork each day, officers at the Begumpur Police Station in New Delhi have been receiving two calls for the past six months from Punjab — one from a farmer in Firozpur district and the other from a wedding photographer in Muktsar district. Both callers ask them the same question: “Test report aaya kya sir (has the test report come)?”

The report of the DNA test they have been enquiring about will determine who would finally take home the six-month-old unnamed girl, living under the care of a West Delhi-based NGO since she was rescued from Rohini’s Begampur colony on February 20 from a gang accused of selling babies. She was barely 10 days old at the time of her rescue.

The gang is accused of coaxing poor parents to give up their newborns for adoption, after which videos of the children — along with their “prices” — would be shared with prospective buyers. According to the chargesheet filed in the case in a Rohini court recently, nine persons, including two Punjab-based ASHA workers and a midwife who ran a clinic there, have been named as accused under Indian Penal Code (IPC) Sections 370 (4) (trafficking), 120B (pertaining to conspiracy) and 34 (pertaining to common intention).

When the police arrested ASHA workers Simranjeet Kaur and Pooja Rani in connection with the racket, they stumbled upon blank stamp papers bearing the signatures of Lek Singh and Amandeep, besides copies of their Aadhaar cards. Lek Singh and Amandeep were then tracked to their villages in Punjab.

In Uttarakhand's Pithoragarh, cops turn baraatis, organise wedding of adopted girl

DEHRADUN: For once, no one was attached to the police lines. The opposite happened, in fact. The police lines, this one in Pithoragarh, got attached to a young orphan girl. So much so that cops in the Uttarakhand station got together to organise her wedding to a local boy, laying out a grand feast for locals.

The usually austere place — commonly used to accommodate reserve forces or receive cops on punishment posting — turned into a radiant wedding venue on Tuesday, the touching event led by none other than their superintendent.

But then, the story of Pushpa Bhatt, the 21-year-old bride, would melt any heart. Pushpa lost both her parents when she was five years old. Raised by her grandmother, the elderly woman too died just as Pushpa stepped into her 10th year. Left an orphan, she relied on the kindness of strangers to get by in life.

About 25 days ago, Pushpa came to Pithoragarh city from her home in Balwakot in search of work. Reserve inspector Naresh Chandra Jakhmola found her sitting alone by the roadside and, being a cop, asked her a string of questions. By the time Pushpa answered them, Jakhmola had decided that he wanted to adopt her.

Jakhmola told TOI on Friday: “I saw her as a blessing from Ma Durga. I have two sons, and when I met Pushpa, I knew she was the daughter I never had. I told her, ‘You are my daughter now and have nothing to worry about,’ and brought her home. My family welcomed her wholeheartedly.”

As luck would have it, a week later Jakhmola was contacted by his son’s mother-in-law, who was looking for a bride for a relative. Seeing it as a sign, Jakhmola introduced Pushpa to the family. Despite Pushpa’s slight disability in one leg, Bipin Upadhyay, who works at a TV cable office in Dharchula, agreed to marry her. Pushpa happily consented.

Jakhmola informed SP Rekha Yadav about the situation and expressed his desire to get Pushpa married off traditionally and with pomp. “When I heard about it, I thought it was a noble idea and immediately pledged the district police unit’s support. We all contributed voluntarily to organise the wedding at the district police lines. Pushpa is now not just Jakhmola’s daughter, but the daughter of the whole district police unit,” Yadav said.
