International adoption: when the quest for origins collides with omerta

INVESTIGATION (3/3). Born in Romania, India and Haiti, adoptees question the methods of the association Rayon de soleil de l'enfant étranger.

In 1992, a group from the St. Vitus parish set out on a long journey to Transylvania for the first time in order to bring "first aid" to the children of the second largest Romanian orphanage after the fall of communism in Romania. The "Hemmingen Romania Working Group" was founded with its headquarters in Wilkenburg. Members also included people from Harkenblecker, Arnumer and Hemminger.

After contacting communities in Fiatfalva, which belongs to the town of Cristuru Secuiesc (= Szekler Cross), a partnership was even established there. After numerous aid shipments to surrounding villages, the main project developed: five family houses were gradually built , each for ten to twelve children, who were thus rescued from the orphanage and were then able to grow up in a secure family atmosphere. When the Gerts family left the community, the community group that had grown in this way became the association "A House for Tomorrow" so that the project could be secured in the long term.

The family homes are still in operation, but fortunately, with European help, the overall situation of Romania's "lost children" has improved significantly: there are no more homes. Family homes and placement in foster families ultimately led to their closure. A young social science emerged that gradually took on modern forms. This fulfilled an essential task of the group. The association therefore decided to dissolve in 2023.

The minor was adopted by accused Ajay Bhati's wife Anjana alias Sanjana, police said, adding that it is alleged that the accused sexually assaulted her on several occasions.

Ghaziabad (UP): A man was on Tuesday arrested for allegedly sexually assaulting and killing his four-year-old adopted daughter in Ghaziabad, police said.

The minor was adopted by accused Ajay Bhati's wife Anjana alias Sanjana, police said, adding that it is alleged that the accused sexually assaulted her on several occasions.

On March 11, the girl told Bhati that she would narrate her ordeal to Sanjana, following which, he slapped her and later, strangled her to death, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Trans Hindan, Vivek Chandra Yadav said.

He then cooked up a story that the girl had gone missing after which police registered an FIR on March 11.

Italy legalised same-sex civil unions in 2016, overriding opposition from Catholic and conservative groups, yet it fell short of giving them adoption rights, fearing that it would encourage surrogate pregnancies, which remain illegal

Milan: Italy’s right-wing government has told Milan’s city council to stop registering same-sex parents’ children, re-igniting a debate around Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s conservative agenda.

Italy legalised same-sex civil unions in 2016, overriding opposition from Catholic and conservative groups, yet it fell short of giving them adoption rights, fearing that it would encourage surrogate pregnancies, which remain illegal.

In the absence of clear legislation on the issue some courts have ruled in favour of allowing same-sex couples to adopt each others’ children, and mayors of some cities, including Milan, have registered surrogate births to same-sex couples.

Milan’s centre-left mayor Giuseppe Sala said on Monday he had received a letter from the interior ministry telling him to stop registering the children of same-sex couples.

Nicola Sturgeon will issue an official apology after 60,000 women were forced to give up their babies for adoption, the Daily Record understands.

The First Minister’s apology will be one of her last acts in office and is expected next week.

Tens of thousands of mums had their babies adopted simply because they were unmarried.

The coercion, covering the 1950s through to the 1970s, caused lasting heartache and campaigners have demanded an apology from the state.

Many of the mothers have died and will not hear the apology, which is expected to cover the mums, dads and children affected.

SINGAPORE – The foster parents of an eight-year-old girl, who was placed in their care shortly after her birth as both her biological parents were in prison, were allowed to adopt the child despite her natural father’s objections.

A Family Court judge decided to dispense with the biological father’s consent and grant the adoption to the foster parents after the Ministry of Social and Family Development (MSF) assessed that the adoption would be in the child’s welfare.

The girl’s biological father, who was incarcerated for a drug-related offence at the time, had contested the adoption application.

In written grounds for his decision published on Saturday, District Judge Jason Gabriel Chiang said: “It was not an easy decision. I could clearly see the dedication of the applicants to the child and the earnestness of their application.

“At the same time, I also had great sympathy for the natural father’s position, and I further commend him on the strides he has already made for his recovery and his commitment to staying drug-free.

A sweet little boy, with stars in his eyes when he smiled. This is how a grieving mother describes her son Delias (2.5) in the Alkmaar court. Placed with foster parents, he died in April 2020 from severe head injuries. According to the Public Prosecution Service (OM), his foster mother brutally abused him. "You literally beat the life out of my child."

Two broken women faced each other in the court of Alkmaar on Tuesday. On the left is Delias' mother, who is crying about the big hole in her broken family. Right in front of her in the suspect's bench is the 47-year-old DR, a mother who may have to explain to her own child that mom has to go to prison for a long time.

When Delias was just in his mother's womb, there were doubts whether the family was ready for a third child. "When I knew it, I had to swallow hard. I have a troubled past and was already struggling to get by with two children," she explains.

Until she had a dream that made her know she was going to make it. "I dreamed about a turtle, which I picked up and then put back in a stream. He went forward with the current. For me a spiritual sign to go with the flow."

Where do I come from? A plea for transparency in the adoption system

The ‘Afstammingscentrum’ (research centre of filiation) offers assistance for everyone in Belgium who has questions about their own filiation and kinship – when the legal kinship does not match the genetic kinship. The centre develops and gathers expertise, raises awareness and formulates policy recommendations on these issues. In practice, the centre often has to deal with ethical questions about adoption. Experts, such as Sophie Withaeckx, researcher at the Centre for Gender and Diversity at Maastricht University, help with answering these questions.

For and by target groups

Adoptees, donor-conceived people and metis of the former Belgian colonies have argued for years for their right to know where they come from. In 2019, the Flemish government approved their proposal for a research centre of filiation. The Flemish government opened the centre in 2021, and has subsidised it ever since. “The Afstammingscentrum was meant to exist for and by the target groups, so our steering group exists of members of our target groups and experts on our working topics to ensure that the centre remains on the right track,” Joyce Bex, one of the programme counselors at the Afstammingscentrum, explains.
