They went through a series of artificial insemination procedures • They started adoption • When they hugged their adopted daughter for the first time, everything fell into place. Now they are waiting for the trial to start and hope to return home with the little girl

After five years of relationship, Azra and Zoki decided that they needed help in having a child, and then started artificial insemination. After two operations and seven embryo transfers, great disappointments and emotional and physical exhaustion, they decided to give up. It was a very difficult period for them, their whole life revolved only around that, hormones had a strong effect on Azra's physical and mental state, it was impossible for her not to feel guilty whenever the pregnancy test came out negative, even though she rationally knew that the fault is not theirs. While they were still in the process of medically assisted fertilization, they started talking about how adoption might be a better option. They really wanted to start a family, they were thinking all the time about how they would raise the child, where they would take him, how they would enjoy together. At that time, all of Azra's closest friends had children, with whom she and Zoki spent a lot of time. I will never forget the moment when they definitely decided - they were sitting by the sea and Zoki said to Azra: 'If we adopt a child, little feet could be running around here already next summer', exclusively in 24 hours she began the story of her daughter and son-in-law's difficult journey to child Ivana, mother of Azra Imamovi? Suboši?, who together with her husband Zoran and three other couples were arrested in Zambia on suspicion of child trafficking.

'They were ready to adopt a child with health problems'

Her daughter and son-in-law are not allowed to appear in the media, but she wanted the public to know what they went through in order to have a child and how they were looking forward to the little girl they adopted from the DR Congo, whom Ivana has been calling her granddaughter for a long time, and how much it is difficult for her because of her daughter and son-in-law, she also suffers so much for her granddaughter, who is somewhere in Zambia, about whom she knows nothing.

He continues the story by saying how Azra and Zoki decided to adopt a child after returning from the sea.

A newborn was left in one of Italy's safe haven baby boxes over Easter, sparking a fierce debate around motherhood and women's rights in the country.

In Italy, a woman who -- for whatever reason -- decides she can't take care of her baby can leave it in a safe haven baby box, in complete anonymity.

It’s increasingly rare for Italian women to choose this option, but it still happens.

Over Easter, one woman decided to anonymously drop her baby boy into such a box at one of Milan’s biggest hospitals, Policlinico di Milano.

Many would say the event should have been private, as the concept of anonymity suggests.

Opaque international adoption procedures have led to a family drama: children separated from their parents, siblings scattered all over the world and lives wrecked. Corrupt networks facilitate these illegal adoptions. Today, the law has been revised to better protect children and families, and separated children are trying to reunite with their families.

By Nadia Raonimanalina and Elise Nandrasanela

2017-014 Law of 6 July 2017 defines the procedures, general terms, conditions, financial contributions related to adoption. The rationale for this law states that “Adoption is a measure of child protection when a child cannot grow up in his or her family of origin or cannot be entrusted to a member of his or her extended family or to a substitute family, such as a foster family.”

In the child’s best interests and with respect for his or her fundamental rights, adoption provides a child deprived of family and parental care with a permanent and definitive solution for growing up in a family environment. However, the response to the child’s right must be first and foremost a national solution so that the break with the child’s environment of origin is limited as much as possible.

Can we still talk about the best interests of the child and the respect of his or her rights if the latter has been taken away from his or her biological parents with a view to adoption and the related procedures have been ambiguous? Between national or international involuntary adoption and child trafficking, there are only narrow boundaries.

AMADEA, an NGO founded in 1986, Authorized Body for Adoption (OAA) authorized for Madagascar since 1990 and member of the French Federation of OAA (FOAA), found itself confronted and attacked head on by what seems to be a network of illegal adoption in the region of Toamasina (Tamatave) in Madagascar.

The French adoption organization has signed a partnership agreement with the Nomena center which takes in abandoned children on this part of the island.

Nôry, a 2.5-year-old girl, is one of these children and her judgment of adoption by a French family is pronounced on 5/11/2003. It will only be notified 2.5 months later (legal appeal period: one month).

In January 2004, an illegal network, orchestrated in all likelihood by a couple of Franco-Malagasy restaurateurs neighboring the children's institution, came to the fore. The man, Mr AA, a Malagasy jurist, is an ambitious political figure, his companion, Mrs FC, is French. They take care together of the management of a hotel located a few hundred meters from the center. Without it being possible to identify the origin of the rumour, many in Mahambo believe that they are responsible for the center. Fraudulently pretending to be someone close to Amadea, it was therefore not difficult for Madame to show the center to candidates looking for children to adopt.

For a few months, in fact since the electoral campaign for the municipal councils, the Malagasy Association which manages the center was opposed to its former director dismissed from his functions following serious shortcomings, busy as he was leading the electoral campaign of Mr. AA. The dismissed former director then never ceased to file complaints against the staff and officials of the Malagasy association, citing in particular abuse of children (while it was at the time of the facts that he denounced, himself the first local official!). This layoff was the subject of an agreement signed by the 2 parties on 6 Nov 03.

DEHRADUN: The Uttarakhand high court has ordered that a baby girl born to a minor rape survivor be "retrieved" from her adoptive parents in Uttar Pradesh and handed back to her biological mother. The direction came following a petition by the woman, now 21 years old, who told the court that both she and the accused, whom she later married and who is currently serving a 10-year-sentence for rape, want their child back.

The woman had given birth to the baby in February 2019 and the child welfare committee (CWC), with the consent of the survivor's parents, had then handed over the newborn to a family in Mau, Uttar Pradesh. An FIR against the man had been lodged in the matter on February 26 that year, a day after the woman, 17 years old then, had delivered the child.

During trial in the district court, the woman said that she was having an affair with the accused man, who was 22 at that time, from her village and got pregnant. He had promised to marry her but then "disappeared". On August 20, 2020, the special court of Uttarkashi sentenced the accused to 10 years in jail after holding him guilty of rape under relevant sections of the Pocso Act.

In the meantime, the parents of the survivor had handed over the child to CWC on March 12, 2019. Later, the baby was adopted by a family in Mau. But things took a dramatic turn after that. First, the woman and the accused together moved the HC seeking short-term bail for the man so that they could marry. The court allowed that and granted bail for 45 days on August 4, 2021. After the survivor married the rape accused, the couple once again approached the HC to get their child back.

After hearing the matter, the court ordered that the child be brought back from Mau and given back to the biological parents. The order was passed on January 30 this year, but a copy was made available only on Wednesday. The court had on January 12 this year asked SSP Uttarkashi to submit a report regarding the whereabouts of the toddler, "as the mother was keen on a reunion". On January 16, when a sub-inspector submitted the report, justice Sharad Kumar Sharma got upset and said, "When the court had issued a specific direction to the SSP to submit a report, he couldn't have delegated his powers to the sub-inspector."

Estela looks down at her hands and her eyes easily well up with tears. She has shed so many over the last 31 years regarding the whereabouts of her daughter, it is clear that this is an emotional wound from which she may never recover. Her hardened face gives way.

“All I want to know is that she’s healthy and doing okay,”

We meet in a non-descript social room in a downtown apartment compound in Bogota where 26 other people are here for the same thing. They are here to meet one another, share their experience of giving up a child for adoption either legally or pressured, or as an adoptee to locate their parents or siblings and submit their DNA with the tireless help of a Dutch foundation called Plan Angel and try and locate their families.

“The trauma of being tricked into giving a child up for adoption is for life,” one participant says, gesticulating. “This is worse than having the fetus taken out, it’s emotional damage,” she continues.

The conversation is constant and it jumps rapidly from threats to sue the Colombian state for its complicity in what is referred to by Marcia Engel, director of Plan Angel and herself an adoptee raised in Holland as, “legalized child trafficking,” to real fear that their children may have been sold for their organs or into the sex trade.

After a long interview with Sam Zirah a few days ago, Dylan Thiry is once again in the news. On Twitter, old videos of the former Koh-Lanta candidate making revelations about alleged child trafficking have just resurfaced…

Pointed out because of many questionable product placements , Dylan Thiry has just delivered his truth through a long and rare interview with Sam Zirah. The opportunity for the former reality TV candidate to make his mea culpa regarding a story shared on social networks, in which he extolled the merits of pills capable of curing cancer.

“ I just explained that there were pills that killed carcinogenic cells. I didn't do it as product placement,” he nuanced before offering his half-worded apologies. " I shouldn't have, it was a mistake […] I'm not an expert in this, but when I was presented with the product, I could only believe it, and I explained it in my Story" he assured.

The day after this interview in which he returns to several other points of his career as an influencer, Dylan Thiry finds himself at the heart of all discussions on social networks and in particular on Twitter. Several old videos of the young 28-year-old Luxembourger have, for example, just resurfaced.
