A medical tech company in east China is under investigation on suspicion that it's a front for an illegal baby-trafficking business, the city of Weifang's Public Security Bureau said.

Local police arrested the company's head on Monday after anti-trafficking advocate Shangguan Zhengyi conducted a sting operation with the help of Xia Ruchu from The Paper, a Shanghai news outlet.

The suspect, a woman in her 40s identified as Sister Zhu, is accused of connecting clients who wanted to be parents with pregnant Chinese women looking to sell off their newborns, Xia reported.

A newborn may be sold for as much as $20,000 in the area, said Xia, who helped Shangguan with his investigation. Zhu served as the middleman for these transactions and said she was consulted by 20 to 30 clients a year, The Paper said.

She also offered to help buyers arrange birth certificates for the babies and had a system of swapping the names of her pregnant customers to muddle documentation of the birth, the report said. The goal was to ensure the baby's biological parents couldn't find and reclaim their child if they ever changed their minds.

AHMEDABAD: Had they been even 24 hours late in finding out that their

nanny was a fraud, a family from Chandkheda would have lost their infant

to an interstate child trafficking ring. The nursemaid they had employed

this May had plotted to kidnap and sell the 11-month-old baby girl to a

couple in Pune.

MYSURU: District cops have uncovered an illegal adoption racket by cracking three cases in less than two months.

A 60-year-old woman and her 31-year-old daughter were arrested for trafficking two newborns and selling the infants to childless couples in Hassan and Kollegal, while another case is being investigated in HD Kote. The mother-daughter duo had collected Rs 7.5 lakh from the couples adopting unlawfully.

Superintendent of police R Chethan on Wednesday said he suspected there could be more cases of illegal adoptions. “As of now two cases have been unearthed from the mother and daughter. Teams have been formed to dig deep into the illegal racket,” he said.

As of now, cops have not found any similarities in the two cases in Nanjangud. Srimathi aka Saraswathi and her daughter Lakshmi allegedly contacted financially poor new mothers and childless couples, and worked as mediators between them to make money. We suspect the involvement of a staff of a private hospital in Mysuru where both the babies were delivered, the SP added.

Srimathi has allegedly collected Rs 4 lakh from a Hassan couple to give them a baby boy while Rs 3.5 lakh was collected from Kollegal couple for a baby girl. The money has been seized from Srimathi. Mothers may not have been aware of money transactions by Srimathi, the SP stated. Srimathi, a resident of Nanjangud, rents autos and does odd jobs for a living, police said.

The Government has published a new National Adoption Strategy which, it says, "is set to improve adoption services in England by putting in place better recruitment across the country and removing any unnecessary delays, through more training for front line staff, improving approval process and funding for targeted recruitment campaigns".

In 2001, a family discovered a baby in the arms of a young girl and disappeared into thin air The young girl is now 20 years old, and having accepted her as their own, the family still struggles with the adoption process The family narrated their struggle to adopt Rami, who is a special girl, continues

She was only seven days old when they discovered her in 2001. Nancy Amati’s late mom, a teacher, came home to find one of her nieces seated outside the gate and holding another baby she had never seen before.

Source: UGC No one knows how the baby ended up in another baby’s arms. “But my mom took the little one in as one of her own as that, to her, was the right thing to do. My youngest sister had just cleared high school. She fell in love with the baby and took care of her like her own, clinic, feeding (cow's milk) and would cuddle the baby in her stomach for the baby not to freeze to death. The child was underweight and helpless. Formula was not even a consideration because of the cost,” Amati told TUKO.co.ke.

They named the little girl Ildiko Rami, meaning “you are loved”. Rami was a special kid Gradually, Amati’s late mom, nicknamed “Angel, " noticed that young Rami was late in hitting some milestones. But her friends quickly dissuaded her and assured her that it was normal. Their late mom adopted her because no one else of legal age in the family was able to. “In preschool and early primary, her excellent mathematical ability as well as outstanding neat handwriting were obvious. At around age seven, she seemed rude, uncooperative and unruly. At first, we would get angry, frustrated with her before we suspected that it might be more than it seemed,” Amati recalled.

Concerned, Amati’s mom took her to the doctor for diagnosis and was informed that Rami needed special education. A school was recommended.

But, unfortunately, her condition continued in regression. So, the family decided to pull her out. “My youngest sister, who was by then an adult, wanted to adopt her. Other than loving her, she was in a position to get her the help she needed, better health care, youthful energy as well as a break for mom, who was now retired and taking care of my sick dad. We were introduced to a lawyer who started the adoption process,” Amati told TUKO.co.ke. Seven years later and with lots of money, the adoption ‘went through’, or so they thought.

"It's much later that we learnt that it was all a sham. Meanwhile, both of our parents had passed on, and her regression was steep and rapid. She automatically came into my care. She has been through various tests, scans and all but no doctor so far has been able to tell us what the problem is. Two more lawyers later, no adoption,” Amati said.
