A Swabian from India

The Bietigheim chef Krishna Bruhn comes from a children's home in India. German parents adopted him at the age of seven.

November 1981: Krishna Bruhn is born in Calcutta, India, in one of Mother Teresa's children's homes. He is seven months old when his German parents adopt him. With them he grows up in Freudental, today he lives in Bietigheim. He hardly remembers the time in India, it has only been a small part of his life. He is aware of his origins: "My parents played with open cards from the start, so there would have been nothing to hide." He knew nothing about his birth parents. It is difficult to get information from the children's homes in India. He has never tried.

At the age of 15, the 33-year-old began training as a cook in a Bietigheimer restaurant. Since then, he has been drawn to the city again and again. At the local "Lama Bar," Bruhn was a chef for over ten years. There he also met his life partner Kathrin Neubauer, "a true Bietigheimerin," as he proudly tells. With Neubauer he leads since December last year, the restaurant "Henry's" in the Bietigheim city center, Hauptstraße 54. The place they have named after Bruhn's middle name, which still comes from the children's home in Calcutta.

He has not been to India since those days. Although he is interested in a trip to his country of birth, but so far he had lacked the means and the energy that brought a reappraisal of his past with it. In addition Neubauer and Bruhn are expecting their first child, a son. "Of course he will be born in Bietigheim," he says with a smile.

Foundling Daniël (9) from Hoorn starts the search for his biological parents

The now 9-year-old Daniël was found on March 11, 2010 in front of a doctor's surgery in Hoorn. Together with his adoptive parents, he begins a search for his biological father and mother nine years later.

As a newborn baby, Daniel was found in a box wrapped in a sleeping bag. The doctor who found him saw that the boy was healthy, but not much more than a day old. A call to the biological parents of the foundling did not produce anything at the time. Daniël got his name from the then mayor of Hoorn and was adopted.

The Adoption Authority of Ireland has been granted an order dismissing proceedings brought by a woman whose child was adopted in 1980. The woman was 16 at the time and submitted that the circumstances surrounding the adoption of her daughter entailed a breach of her rights.

Granting the order to dismiss the proceedings, Mr Justice Garrett Simons said that since the principal witnesses to events were either deceased or unable to recollect the events, there was a real and serious risk of an unfair trial.

Background

In 1979, Patricia Breaden went to the Catholic Protection and Rescue Society of Ireland (now known as Cúnamh, the first named defendant) seeking advice in relation to her pregnancy. Ms Breaden submitted that she only learnt that this was an adoption service at a subsequent visit.

Adopted, Émilie Ducrot argues that international adoption is "not a chance"

Victim of child trafficking in the 1980s in Sri Lanka, Émilie Ducrot, who publishes "Tears of the Elephant", is the guest of the evening news of franceinfo, Tuesday, September 17.

15,000 children were stolen from their biological family in Sri Lanka in the 1980s and sold to an illegal adoption network. Among them, Emilie Ducrot, who was adopted in 1985 by a family who pampered her. But his conditions of separation from his biological mother came back to him in nightmares.

"I always wanted answers because it did not satisfy me the explanation that was given to me: that my family was too poor to raise a child.When I learn the truth, I understand myself a little better" , confides Émilie Ducrot.

"It's been two years now that I'm aware of the scandal and I'm trying to get things moving." It's complicated because in the minds of people adoption is a chance. is not one, because we uproot a child, we put it in a culture that is not his, even if we are wanted and loved, we are not in our place, "she says.

Published in the Journal of Family Issues, the study titled Delaying Adoption Disclosure: A Survey of Late Discovery, concluded that people who received the news of their adoption as young adults or adults have less satisfaction than those who found out as young children.

If you have adopted a child, it is better to reveal the truth to your kid as early as possible. A new study has said that adopted kids experience greater distress if they are told after the age of three that they are adopted.

Published in the Journal of Family Issues, the study titled Delaying Adoption Disclosure: A Survey of Late Discovery concluded that people who received the news of their adoption as young adults or adults have less satisfaction than those who found out as young children.

An adult woman, who was part of the study, talked about how she felt post-disclosure and said, “Realising that you don’t know who you are is life-changing. Every relationship in my life changed at that moment. I am much more guarded in every aspect now. Finding out that everyone knew and I didn’t is probably the single most traumatic event in my life.” She found out she was adopted at the age of 49.

The adolescents who found out about being adopted reported the most distress while those who found out at the age of 19 or older were able to cope better by taking steps like connecting with the birth family or seeking support from close relationships.

On September 16-18, 2019, the Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs hosted a symposium in Washington, D.C., entitled “Strengthening Practice for the Future of Intercountry Adoption.” The three-day symposium brought together approximately 125 adoption service providers, non-governmental organizations, birth parents, adoptive parents, adult adoptees, and Congressional staff to discuss policies and best practices on intercountry adoption. The event provided an important opportunity for the Department to engage with the adoption community and to improve cooperation and information sharing on a range of issues of mutual concern. Assistant Secretary of State for Consular Affairs Carl Risch delivered keynote remarks on the role of the U.S. government and highlighted the collaboration that makes intercountry adoptions possible. Visit adoption.state.gov for Assistant Secretary Risch’s full remarks as prepared for delivery.

Each year, thousands of U.S. citizens adopt children from abroad. Intercountry adoption is one of the U.S. Department of State’s highest priorities. The Department works to ensure that adoption services are ethical and transparent and remain a viable option for children in need of permanent homes when it is in the best interest of the child.

The Bureau of Consular Affairs coordinates intercountry adoption policy for the Department, engages actively with foreign governments on adoption related issues, and provides information to the public on adoption and immigration procedures for children adopted abroad. More information on intercountry adoption is available on adoption.state.gov.

Leading Maltese fashion designers Charles & Ron have taken a moment from designing fabulous pieces to help out one of their friends – a former street kid named Amin Sheikh from India.

After leaving his orphanage at the age of 17, Amin wanted to find a way to tackle the child homelessness that could be seen all over his city of Mumbai. That’s when he came up with an idea.

“Amin’s dream is to help street kids and give them a purpose by working and earning a living in the Bombay To Barcelona Library Cafe in Mumbai,” Ron Van Maarschalkerweerd Borg told Lovin Malta.

Amin’s a former street kid among a group of former street kids like our friend Khushboo,” Ron continued.

Having worked closely with some of these street kids, most of whom are orphans, Charles and Ron became close to their cause and wanted to help out.

The business with the foreign adoption

In Germany, almost every tenth couple between 25 and 59 years is unintentionally childless.

Depending on the method, artificial insemination only has a success rate of between 10 and 20 percent and the prospect of adoption in Germany is much lower.

So often only the way of a foreign adoption. The chances of having a child from Russia, Mongolia or Peru are far better. But only if a couple is willing and able to invest a high five-figure amount.

The longing for a child has long since developed into a lucrative business model, and since foreign agencies are exclusively private associations, there is almost no limit on pricing.
