Tamuna Museridze, a 40-year-old journalist in Georgia, discovered her biological father was her Facebook friend for three years during a search for her birth parents.

A 40-year-old woman in Georgia, who had been adopted at a young age, discovered her biological father had been her Facebook friend for three years. According to a report with BBC, Tamuna Museridze, in 2016, was cleaning the house of the woman who had raised her, after her passing away. It was then that she found a birth certificate with her name but an incorrect date of birth, and doubted she was adopted.

Curious to find out about her biological parents, Museridze, a journalist by profession, set up a group on Facebook, hoping to find them.

Some days later, Museridze received a message from a woman who claimed she knew another woman in Georgia who had secretly given birth to a child around September 1984.

The woman believed she might be Museridze’s mother and provided her name to the latter, the report stated.

Province says it made the move to protect children from potential harm

The Quebec government has suspended most new international adoption applications, echoing moves by other jurisdictions that are rethinking the once-common practice because of human rights and trafficking concerns.

Quebec's decision is part of a global "culture change" in recent years as countries have become aware of serious shortcomings in the way many adoptions are carried out, Anne-Marie Piché, a professor in the social work department at the Université du Québec à Montréal who studies adoption, said in an interview Monday.

Despite international agreements that theoretically impose strict rules, "there are countries that have gaps in their adoption procedures," she said. In some cases, she added, "the children don't have their truthful information collected, for example on their parents, on the real reasons for placement, on their circumstances of birth."

As well, she said, mothers are sometimes coerced into signing a document to give up their child, children are falsely reported as abandoned or adoptions are quickly approved for financial gain.

The court emphasized the urgency of ensuring a safe and lawful resolution for these children, who remain under the care of the CWC.

Hyderabad: The Telangana High Court has directed the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) to expedite the adoption process for 15 trafficked children rescued by the Rachakonda police earlier this year.

The court emphasized the urgency of ensuring a safe and lawful resolution for these children, who remain under the care of the CWC.

The directive comes after the dismantling of a child trafficking ring in May, highlighting the need for prompt legal action to safeguard the welfare of vulnerable children.

The Danish state approved adoptions with forged papers and where there was no consent from the biological parents, says the lawyer.

For the first time in Danish history, adoptees from abroad to Denmark are demanding compensation from the Danish state for violations of their human rights.

The eight adoptees who are now demanding compensation are all adopted from South Korea and believe that the Danish authorities have not lived up to their responsibility to protect their rights.

This is what Lisa Dalgas Christensen, a lawyer at Pramming Advokater, who represents the adopted, says:

Thousands of children came to Denmark from South Korea in the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s in the belief that they were foundlings.

Eight adoptees have on Friday sent a claim to the Danish state for violation of Article 8 of the Human Rights Convention and are demanding compensation of 250,000 kroner per person - a total of 2 million kroner.

This is what lawyer at Pramming advokater Lisa Dalgas Christensen tells TV 2. She will lead the cases together with lawyer Mads Pramming.

"We demand compensation for violations of their human rights. This is a public recognition that the state has violated their rights," Lisa Dalgas Christensen explains to TV 2.

A year. That is how long a temporary adoption stop for children from abroad has been in effect in Flanders. And that adoption stop will remain in effect next year. This is confirmed by the competent minister Caroline Gennez (Vooruit). How come? How far has the screening of countries of origin progressed? And will there also be a permanent stop on foreign adoption here, just like in the Netherlands? “We will evaluate the new rules within two years,” says Gennez.

Birth father searched for him and his mother for two years in vain, living in sorrow and ill health until his death in 2009

Eight months after the poignant reunion of a PhD graduate with his long-lost Chinese birth family – following his adoption to the Netherlands three decades ago – he brought his Dutch father to China to visit his birth mother, envisioning a future filled with love and care from both families.

In early October, Gouming Martens, originally named Gao Yang, revisited his birth mother Wen Xurong’s home in Miyi county in southwestern China’s Sichuan province, accompanied by his adoptive father, Jozef Martens.

They received a warm welcome from Wen and her husband, whom she married in 2010 and with whom she has a teenage daughter.

Wen’s husband prepared local dishes for their guests, while Wen served food to her son and his adoptive father, a traditional gesture of hospitality in Chinese culture.
