Fiom is the expertise center in the field of unwanted pregnancy, distance & adoption and kinship questions. We offer information and help with unwanted pregnancy, education and aftercare in the field of adoption and guide people in their search for biological family at home and abroad. In addition, we manage the KID-DNA Database, which enables a match between a donor child and an anonymous donor. The basic principle of working at Fiom is the right of self-determination of unwanted pregnant women, the right of a child to know where it comes from and to grow up while retaining its own identity. We do all this with about 80 motivated employees from our offices in 's-Hertogenbosch and Houten and from our home workplaces. Soon we will start with the establishment and design of the Expertise Center Intercountry Adoption. This will be a network organization of stakeholders around the theme of intercountry adoption. Adoptees, adoptive parents, birth family and other involved parties can visit the Expertise Center for information such as access to files, psychosocial assistance, searches and legal support.

For Program Adoption Facilities we are immediately looking for:

‘Adoption is a wonderful way to have a child’: Nadia Jamil says the process was tougher than biological birthing

There is no pre-requisite for family — anyone you choose to love is your family and Nadia Jamil is proving just that. The actor spoke of her personal experience with adoption and how it was more tough to be accepted as an adoptive parent than choosing to birth a child.

On Thursday, she shared photos of her daughter Nuri in her arms and wrote, “Adoption is a wonderful way to have a child. I found it a tougher “labour” process to go through than biological birthing. Nerve wracking assessments [and] waiting! Imagine if biological parents were interviewed [and] checked for maturity, parenting skills, financial security and dedication the same way!”

Her post was welcomed with a wave of love. When someone said Nuri was lucky to have her as a mother, Jamil responded that it’s her who’s privileged to have her as a daughter.

Many congratulated her on her little bundle of joy.

When a Twitter user pointed out that adopted children are not eligible for inheritance, the actor said, “Who needs an inheritance when she can be gifted everything in my lifetime?”

Kiwi man's biological mother reveals how she was forced to give him away

OPINION:

Jill Killington, 72, lives in Leeds with her husband, Richard, 76. A retired university administrator, she was forced to give up her first baby, a boy, for adoption in 1968. She has two other children, a son and daughter aged 47 and 46.

The very last time I held my baby son was in a dingy room at the National Adoption Services headquarters in London, in March 1968. My parents had brought us down on the train and on arrival we were shown straight there.

A few minutes later, a social worker came in, admired my son and asked if she could hold him. Flattered, I handed him over, unaware that I would never again feel his weight in my arms. Then she asked me to kiss him goodbye, before walking out of the door with him. She never came back. I sat in that room in silence, until we were told it was time to go home. I was so numb that I couldn't cry.

For more than half a century, I have felt the shame of being an unmarried mother, forced to hand my beloved baby over for adoption. The joint committee on human rights (JCHR) estimates that 185,000 children were taken from their mothers between 1949 and 1976 and now, with the publication of its report, which calls on the Government to issue an apology to women like me, I feel absolved.

Anouk (42): 'My adopted daughter doesn't want me'

When Anouk (42) and her partner think she can't have children, they decide to adopt. Now her (adoptive) daughter is in the middle of puberty. Every puberty is intense, but in Anouk it increasingly evokes feelings of guilt.

“I feel guilty about the adoption.”

My girl dream came true

“Nine years ago, my partner and I adopted our daughter. To be honest, we thought at the time that I couldn't have children, so our choice was made quickly. We immersed ourselves in the adoption process and were soon able to hold our daughter in our arms. Indra was two years old when we adopted her from India. Later I unexpectedly became pregnant with twins, so suddenly my girlhood dream came true. I always wanted to have a big family. Have breakfast together at a large table; I had that loving picture in my head.

That my dream came true was great, and the first years I lived on a pink cloud. Now, nine years later, things are a little less rosy than I had hoped or expected. Indra is naturally very curious. For example, she was still very small when she once heard the bells of the church ring. She asked if she could go and see where the sound was coming from. I thought she was going to walk to the garden, so without a doubt said she could go. Moments later, I panicked. She had opened the garden gate and was already walking towards the end of the street. "I was allowed to watch, right?" was her innocent reply.

Unlimited adoption The growth of illegal adoption practices

The adoption of foreign children boomed in the 1960s and 1970s thanks to parental couples fighting for their own happiness and that of the world. At first the government only works against it, but later seems to go to the other extreme.

'It has already been shown several times that false medical certificates regarding birth and false birth certificates are easily available in Uwent.' It is November 20, 1972 when a senior official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs writes this to the Ambassador to Brazil, Barn Leopold Quarles van Ufford.

The reason for this scrubbing, distributed on behalf of Minister Norbert Schmelzer (KVP), is an affair that took place the year before. Then a Dutch couple travels to the southern state of Paraná and has a Brazilian toddler of two months registered there. With the obtained birth certificate, the baby can effortlessly be registered as your own child at the registry office after returning to the Netherlands.

Ukraine war: Why I never gave up trying to find my children

When Russia invaded Ukraine, the outbreak of war meant a family of foster parents faced indefinite separation from six of their adopted children. Hearing about forced adoptions to Russia, they feared they would never be reunited.

As she was alerted to the invasion, Olga Lopatkina's first thoughts were for her six adopted children who were visiting the seaside, 100km (62 miles) away from home.

They were in a municipal holiday home near the sea, where they had been sent for fresh air and general wellbeing.

It quickly became too dangerous to collect them, with heavy shelling in towns along the route from their home to where the children were.

Olga faced an impossible choice - sending her husband Denis on a perilous drive to rescue them or leaving the children in Mariupol, where they had gone for their break. At that time it still seemed relatively secure.

Support adopted children who are looking for their own parents with a fund

Parents spend tens of thousands of euros to adopt a child. But if adopted children want to find their own parents, there is no money for that. That's not right, thinks Sam van den Haak, who was adopted from Sri Lanka himself.
