Adoptions au Mali : en quête de vérité [Collection reportages]

Neuf Français d’origine malienne ont déposé plainte ce 8 juin 2020 contre l’organisme d’adoption Le Rayon de Soleil de l’enfant étranger et son ancienne correspondante au Mali, Danielle Boudault. La plainte a été déposée auprès du tribunal de grande instance de Paris pour "escroquerie, recel d’escroquerie et abus de confiance". Entre 1989 et 2001, 324 enfants maliens ont été envoyés à l'adoption en France par l’association basée à Paris. Parmi eux : Marie, âgée de 32 ans, et Jean-Noël, 35 ans. Sur les traces de leur passé, ils découvrent de faux actes de naissance, des documents falsifiés. De Paris à Bamako en passant par le Luxembourg et la Bretagne, les équipes de TV5MONDE et du journal Le Monde ont enquêté durant près d’un an. Pratiques d’adoptions abusives ou illégales, absences de contrôle, manquements de la justice française, carences de l'administration malienne : reportage et témoignages exclusifs dans ce nouveau numéro de [Collection Reportages] sur ce qui ressemble fort à un scandale à l'adoption.

L'enquête sera publiée dans les colonnes du journal Le Monde des mardi 9 et mercredi 10 juin (datés 10 et 11 juin).

Baby rescued following complaint of illegal adoption in Madurai

Sellur police rescued a 10-month-old baby boy on Saturday after a complaint of illegal adoption between two families.

Police said the baby, born in last August, was handed over by the parents to a childless couple. Both parties had not followed the established procedures for adoption of children.

They just entered into a written agreement certified by a notary public.

After the issue came to light, Child Welfare Committee member B. Pandiarajan, lodged a complaint.

“The baby has been taken to a government home. Further enquiry is under way,” a police officer said.

Hungary: Interview with adoptive parents (NL - child in residential care)

We interviewed adoptive parents about the adoption of their child. They wanted to participate anonymously. This interview is not specifically aimed at illegal adoption, but it does show how an adoption works.

The adoptive parents have adopted a girl from Hungary. At first she was told that she only had a developmental delay, but once she was in the Netherlands, she was found to have FAS (Fetal Alcohol Syndrome). This can occur if the mother consumes alcohol during pregnancy. FAS is brain damage and/or damage to the central nervous system, which causes physical and psychological impairments.

How do you look back on your child's adoption process?

The process of adopting a child is a long one. If they indicate that they want to adopt a child, you must first follow a course. At the time, this was a six-day course in which all aspects surrounding the adoption of a child were discussed. This course is followed by discussions with the Child Protection Board. After these conversations you will (if all is well) get permission to adopt a child. Once you have permission, you find a brokerage organization and the long wait begins. This is because these organizations are looking for parents for a child that is put up for adoption and not the other way around. In practice, this means that you can, for example, be at the top of the waiting list for four years, but if there is no match with the children that are offered, you will not be assigned that child. With us it was the case that we were still orientating ourselves about the countries for which our mediation organization mediated. When we called with the question whether and for how long the waiting list for Hungary was still open, we were told that this waiting list would remain open for a while, but that if we wanted they already had a child available for us. So that was the world upside down, so to speak. The whole process took about two years, which is very short. We look back on the process with a good feeling, partly because it included a very extensive course.

After investigations it appears that your child has FAS, this was not revealed during the adoption procedure. Had this been known, would it have influenced your decision to adopt?

Minister grijpt in bij onderzoek naar gedwongen adoptie: Bossche organisatie FIOM buitenspel gezet

Minister grijpt in bij onderzoek naar gedwongen adoptie: Bossche organisatie FIOM buitenspel gezet

Naar schatting werden zo'n 15.000 kinderen gedwongen afgestaan tussen 1958 en 1984.

Naar schatting werden zo'n 15.000 kinderen gedwongen afgestaan tussen 1958 en 1984.

Het verhaal van ouders die tegen hun zin hun kind hebben afgestaan en van die kinderen zelf, was niet veilig bij het 'aanmeldpunt' dat voor hen is ingericht. Verslagen zijn niet altijd correct opgesteld en de privacy was niet gewaarborgd, erkent verantwoordelijk minister Sander Dekker.

Ministry is careless with sensitive information about adoption

The stories of parents, children and others involved who have reported to the 'Remote and Adoption Application Point' are not properly stored securely at the Ministry of Security and Justice. There has been a data breach and hundreds of conversation reports will be destroyed.

A report has been made to the Dutch Data Protection Authority. This is evident from answers to parliamentary questions from D66 MP Vera Bergkamp.

“Embarrassing”, says Bergkamp about the course of events. “I really don't understand how a research that is so sensitive can be shaped in such a way. When I read that interview reports are circulating at the ministry - the ministry that is actually responsible for privacy - and that there is a lot of catching up to do now that reports have to be submitted again to people who have been interviewed, I really wonder: how could this going so carelessly? ”

The Verwey-Jonker Institute is currently conducting research into distance and adoption between 1956 and 1984. During that period, thousands of women gave up their children, often under great pressure. Some say they have been forced now, decades later. The Remote and Adoption Application Point was opened at the start of the investigation, to give everyone the opportunity to tell their story. More than 670 people have now called that registration point.

The answers to parliamentary questions show that the reports of the conversations held at the hotline were not only sent - anonymously - to the researchers at the Verwey-Jonker Institute, but also to the ministry. That is now going to destroy all records. It is not clear whether those documents are still with the Verwey-Jonker Institute (VJI). In his answers, Minister Sander Dekker writes: “Until now, VJI only keeps the interview reports of those applicants who have been selected for an in-depth interview. From now on, the VJI will keep all interview reports of the registrations and the reports of the in-depth interviews in a secure manner until the completion of the investigation. ”

CARA extends timelines for in-country adoption process

The apex adoption body CARA has extended the timelines for in-country adoption process due to the prevailing situation of COVID-19

In a letter dated May 29 addressed to all state adoption resource agencies, district child protection units and specialised adoption agencies, the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) said in the wake of the pandemic and the prevailing travel restrictions in India, it has been decided to further extend the period of child matching with prospective adoptive parents (PAPs) till June 30

"Further, the timeline for filing of the petition in court for adoption cases, where the matching process has been completed, has also been extended up to June 30 or till the date the Registry of the Courts open, whichever is later," the letter said. The referral of children to the PAPs have also been suspended till further orders, the letter said.

For people in China, adopting Chinese children is getting easier

Back in 1991, when China passed its first stand-alone adoption law, state-run orphanages routinely gave foundlings the surnames “Dang” (meaning Party) or “Guo” (meaning Country). These unusual names marked children for life and were meant to. That way foundlings would not forget what they owed the Communist Party. Such names were banned in all orphanages only in 2012.

It is a mark of how China has changed that its first-ever Civil Code, a fat volume of laws covering everything from marriage to property rights, approved on May 28th, revises adoption rules to make it easier for children to be raised in private homes. A big change eliminates the rule that—except in special cases, for instance involving adoptions of disabled children from orphanages—only childless Chinese may adopt. From next year, the childless will be allowed to adopt two children, whereas parents with one biological child may adopt another. Those changes reflect a broader easing of laws that, from 1980 to 2016, restricted most urban families to a single child. A further amendment raises the maximum age for being adopted from 14 to 18.

Child protection advocates question increased push for adoption in Mason Lee findings

A Queensland coroner's recommendation that adoption be "routinely and genuinely" considered for children in out-of-home care has been met with scepticism by some child protection advocates, who describe adoption as a "drastic" move.

Key points:

The deputy state coroner recommended the child safety department ensure adoption is routinely considered

Some child protection advocates say adoption is only suitable for a very small number of children

The State Government is considering all the deputy coroner's recommendations
