Halted adoption process leaves Utah woman stuck in Haiti

PROVO, Utah — A Provo, Utah woman said she and several other American families living in Haiti are unable to come back to the United States due to a halted adoption process.

Utah woman in Haiti says adoption authority was ransacked

Erika Charles has been trying to adopt twin 6-year-old girls for as long as they have been alive. A few weeks ago, the country’s central adoption authority was ransacked, which has become an issue for many families trying to adopt Haitian children.

Charles has been living in Haiti for more than a decade. What she said started as a short volunteer stint turned into something long-term.

“I started a mental health organization. I work with a team of Haitian psychologists, and we provide mental health education, mental health advocacy awareness, as well as direct individual and group support to Haitians throughout the country,” she said.

Al 134 meldingen over mogelijke onregelmatigheden bij adopties | De Standaard Mobile (Already 134 reports about possible irregularities in adoptions | The Standard Mobile)

134 people have already come forward with questions about their adoption. Some adoptions date back sixty or more years. About twenty reports concern adoptions after 2000.


In the past, several signals were given of possible irregularities in the adoption of Ethiopian children who came to Belgium between 1997 and 2015, after mediation by the adoption agency Ray of Hope.

In November last year it was confirmed that in some cases reality had been ignored. Researchers who traveled to the country on behalf of Flemish Minister of Welfare Hilde Crevits (CD&V) and examined twelve adoption files found that in at least one case parents had not consciously given their child up for adoption. This was no surprise to some adoptive parents and adoptees: they had already discovered it themselves.

Following these initial results, the minister launched a broad appeal: anyone who had questions about their own adoption or that of their child could report them. 134 people have already done that.

This concerns reports of adoptions dating back to the 1960s and 1950s, as well as adoptions from after 2000. There are 21 countries of origin.

On this page, I will tell about our experiences on our adoption of our girl Natasha, who comes from the orphanage BalVikas in Mumbai, India.

 

                
 
We have had some experience around Natashas behaviour and ways to respond to that has surprised us and I will tell about that here. 

 

My husband and I adopted two children from India. The first was the adoption in October 2001, when we had our boy Nicklas. He comes from the Orphanage Preet Mandir in Pune in India.
The second adoption was in 2004 when we took home our girl Natasha from the orphanage BalVikas in Mumbai, India.
 
We took home our daughter in September / October. 2004, and there she was 2.7 years , she is 6 years today. Already the first time we saw her, we were concerned. Natasha was the pushed hard to us with a push in the back, which we believe was unnecessary and totally inappropriate, given the first time be meeting her new mother and father and be placed in front of strangers who not only is completely different by look, but also speaks quite incomprehensible., That in itself is hard and scary enough for a child.
Then we have a girl who was emotionally and socially disturbed, she seemed very scared. She sat with the tongue out of her mouth and like suck on it and she remained deadlocked and sealed inside itself and eye contact she would not.
When you are orphanage child, this behaviour may be likely, when you are exposed to being "torn" away from your known location and from the people, which you have  been with and linked to, it could be a normal behavior, but this behaviour continued a long time after we came home to Denmark. I with my professionalism (I am a social worker in a kindergarten) to say that a normal child of almost 3 years, will very rapidly be curious to new things and toys, it was certainly not our girl.
 
Back home in Denmark took our surprise on. Our girl showed a behaviour that were most curious, we believe.
When we had to put her to bed, she screamed and showed a fear, both in body and voice, which I can not describe, she was to terrify to her bed and to close her eyes and sleep.
 
It was also quickly very clear to us that our girl had been exposed to some unpleasant on the toilet. We could not get her out on the toilet, she simply hold on to the dorframe and screamed and screamed.
When Natasha was playing in her room, we had to not close the door, she could /would not be alone if we closed the door, or would go out of the room she screamed and wept.
 
Our girl could also take on, to lie down on the floor, we had some times get to her, after we had put her, as she lay down on the floor and slept with his pillow and quilt inside under a table, that she has in her room, which is showing, with all clarity that we do not like, perhaps even fear her bed.
 
It was also quickly evident to us that our girl has been subjected to fierce scolding and that she has been beaten on the BalVikas. If we reproves her, and raise our voice, so she keeps for the ears and works very scared and we can look at her body language that she "expects" to be beaten.
 
Another thing which surprised us a lot, was that our girl was terror-stricken by men, for us it seemed as if she expected something "not good" or even hurt, when a man came into the same room.
 
Something that Natasha also has had problems with since coming home, is to feel her needs / herself.
She can eat and eat and drink and drink, she has no stop in relation to label "I do not need more, now I'm sated"
Similarly, she does not notice when she is dead tired and need sleep. She "running" out there, with 180 per hour and can not "fall"
Another thing is that Natasha is fearless, she does many "dangerous" things she does not think consequence of what can happen. She can find to climb up on a book shelves at the top, to get something and she does that by taking a table, then a chair and then she crawls up ... without thinking that she might fall down. She is very spontaneous and can actually "persuaded" to anything

At four, I was kidnapped and sex-trafficked for years. Now I fight for the powerless – and win every case

After he was snatched, Antonio Salazar-Hobson didn’t see his family for 24 years. His desire to return to his mother, and his discovery of a higher purpose, helped him navigate a path through hell


Although it happened more than 60 years ago, Antonio Salazar-Hobson remembers every detail of his kidnapping. He says that if he closes his eyes, he is instantly taken back to that hot Sunday afternoon in 1960 when he was a four-year-old boy standing with his brothers and sisters in the red dust of his back yard on the outskirts of Phoenix, Arizona.

Nearby, at the bottom of a short passageway connecting the back yard to the road out of town, a car is idling.

 

A white man is leaning out of the window, calling Salazar-Hobson’s name. He is very afraid of this man and the woman sitting next to him in the passenger seat. His older brother and sister are also afraid. They have been told by their parents, who are out working in the fields, that they must not let Salazar-Hobson go anywhere with the couple in the car. He can hear the fear in their voices as they call out: “Thank you very much, but Antonio can’t come for ice-cream.”

Couple adopted vulnerable children to abuse

22 March 2024

Abuse poisoned generations of a family after children's allegations and sexualised behaviour were not acted upon, a report has revealed.

The abuse began with Couple A in Gloucestershire, who specifically asked to adopt an "emotionally disturbed" child - so they could assault them.

The couple, eventually jailed in 2018, went on to adopt four siblings, beginning a cycle of sexual abuse that lasted for years.
