At vokse op på et børnehjem uden at ane, hvem ens mor og far er, lyder nok som lidt af et mareridt.

Sådan startede livet for Frida, der i dag er 25 år.

Hun voksede op på et børnehjem i Guatemala, indtil hun blev adopteret til Danmark som seksårig. Heldigvis – det var godt, hun kom væk, ville de fleste nok tænke.

Men ikke Frida.

Mrs. Perdaens has the floor.

Minister, on January 7, we read in the press that the investigation into irregularities in intercountry adoption will gain momentum this year. Perhaps let us go back in time for a moment: in 2023, it was your predecessor, Minister Crevits, who called for reports to be filed regarding suspected irregularities in intercountry adoption. Since then, 241 reports have been received from 31 countries, and 168 people have responded to the request to initiate an investigation.

Most reports concerned adoptions from Belgium, Ethiopia, South Korea, and Rwanda. The Flemish Centre for Adoption (VCA), together with the International Social Service (ISS), is screening potential partners to conduct investigations into the individual files in the aforementioned countries of origin. It concerns only a few countries. Previously, 31 countries were mentioned, but it is limited to a list of just four. An investigator has been found for Belgium, and the screening for India, Ethiopia, and Rwanda is reportedly almost complete. At least, that is what the press tells us.

Susanna Egida Frank's lifelong quest for identity culminated in a moving courtroom reunion with her biological father in Illinois, reshaping their lives and futures.

ST. CLAIR COUNTY, Ill. — For decades, Susanna Egida Frank, 60, felt an inexplicable void while growing up in Germany. Adopted at a young age, Frank, who is Black, often felt out of place in her environment.

“So there I started to search because I knew that I was different,” Frank said. “The hair, the color, the acting, dancing, smiling, happiness, you know?”

Dominique from Djursland had nothing to go on in Sporløs. Today she has two mothers

Dominique lives in Djursland with her husband and children, the family dog, has a job she loves – and is close to her mother.  

But right now she is in Mauritius, a small island state east of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean.

Together with her husband, her two daughters and her Danish adoptive mother, she has traveled back to the island where she was born 48 years ago. Her father unfortunately passed away in 2010, but if he had been alive, he would of course have come with him too.

An American woman’s search for her birth mother unravels a dark web of illegal adoptions from Chile—exposing a system shaped by U.S. political and economic influence—leaving families now fighting for truth and accountability in the pursuit of justice.

SYNOPSIS

As Adrian Reamey searches for her Chilean birth mother, she discovers an article about an American man stolen as a baby from Chile in the 1980s and trafficked to the United States through an illegal adoption—leaving Adrian grappling to wonder if she, too, was stolen. Her search quickly unravels into a full investigation in this three-part, true-crime docuseries where a horrifying truth emerges. An estimated 20,000 babies were trafficked internationally during the Pinochet dictatorship at the hands of an elaborate network involving the Chilean military government, judges, hospitals, Catholic priests, orphanages, and social workers. 

A nurse was accused of offering a newborn girl for Rs 2.6 lakh through a WhatsApp message, exposing an alleged illegal adoption racket.

A private hospital in Gautam Buddh Nagar district was sealed, and its license was also revoked on Tuesday (March 24) after its owner and two staff members were allegedly found involved in the 'sale' of a five-day-old girl for Rs 2.6 lakh, police and health officials said, as quoted by PTI. A police team arrested the owner of Navjeevan Hospital, a sanitation worker and an operation theatre technician, while a nurse and her husband are absconding, they said.

Following the arrests, the chief medical officer (CMO) constituted a three-member inquiry committee. Deputy CMO Chandan Soni said the action followed a police report. “The hospital’s licence has been cancelled based on police inputs. A three-member committee led by the CMO will examine all records, including delivery registers, to verify the identities of mothers and detect any manipulation. Its findings will be compiled as evidence and could be important in court,” he said as quoted by TOI.
