23-year-old Patrik Dam was addicted to taking hard drugs and engaging in extreme sex. Now he is warning others.

WARNING: This article contains violent depictions of drug abuse, sex and abuse.

He had the crack pipe in one hand while the other swiped desperately on the phone. For days he had been looking for the next man he could sell himself to and thus get another fix.

It was in those days that 2.5 years of violent abuse of so-called 'chemsex' – i.e. sex on hard drugs – culminated for the then 22-year-old Patrik Dam.

When TV 2 Echo meets him a year later, he finds it difficult to remember the details and what happened on which day, but when you sit across from him, there is no doubt that the period stands as a living nightmare in his memory.

The children of British women who joined the ISIS terror group are being returned to the UK and put up for adoption, it has emerged.

At least ten children are said to have been repatriated from detention camps in Syria. Those that have been repatriated are understood to be mainly orphans of unaccompanied minors.

Among them were two siblings whose British mother is believed to have been killed in northeastern Syria in 2019. Their father, who is not British, is understood to have been captured and is currently in a detention camp for foreign fighters, The Sunday Times reports. 

The Syria-born siblings were repatriated last year and are said to be living with foster carers in south-east England and are set to be adopted, despite one set of grandparents that do not live in the UK being willing to care for them. 

Campaigners say that this offer was rejected by the local authority that is responsible for the children in Britain.

The French Office for Illicite Migration of Minors has registered the complaint from the French/Romanian adoptees. 

The adoption agency DIA, which is appointed by the Danish state, has paid support to their representative in Madagascar in violation of the rules, despite raised fingers. Risk of child trafficking, law professor assesses.

For six months, the Danish Appeals Board asked the adoption agency Danish International Adoption (DIA) to tighten up and adjust according to the rules. 

Yet the DIA chose to ignore the pointed fingers and stick to an illegal practice in the African island nation of Madagascar.

This is shown by over 400 pages of correspondence between the Danish Appeals Agency and DIA, which Danwatch has gained insight into.

Specifically, it is about the adoption agency's so-called adoption assistance for a number of orphanages in the poor island state. According to the rules, this kind of financial support must be paid to the Malagasy authorities, but DIA has chosen to give the money to their representative on the island instead, who has bought food and other necessities for the orphanages

Lawsuit comes after proposed B.C. class action alleges abuse at Salvation Army’s homes for unwed women

Following a proposed class-action lawsuit against the Salvation Army over its role in operating homes for unmarried mothers until the 1980s, the charity has launched its own lawsuit against child and family services agencies in Manitoba, alleging they breached their duty of care to the women who lived in the homes.

Two years ago, a proposed national class action lawsuit filed against the Salvation Army alleged the Canadian charity took advantage of unmarried soon-to-be mothers who lived in the organization's maternity homes — and allegedly coerced them into placing their newborns up for adoption.

Now, a Manitoba lawsuit filed by the Salvation Army alleges that in that province, it's some child and family services agencies who bear responsibility for any coercion during adoptions.

CFAB’s mission is to use our expertise and experience to ensure vulnerable children and families who are separated across international borders are given care and protection, no matter where they come from. As the only UK charity with a qualified team of international child protection professionals, we are uniquely placed to help children reunite safely with family.

Holt established the first international adoption program in South Korea.

In Korea, children waiting for permanent, loving families are typically 2-3 years old at the time they join their adoptive families and have moderate medical or developmental needs. Most are in nurturing foster families and receive exceptional in-country care while they wait to join their families. With a unique expertise cultivated over more than 65 years in Korea, our Korea team is well equipped to guide your family through the adoption process. We will work closely with you to anticipate needs, overcome obstacles and support you throughout your journey to welcome a child into your family.

Intake for the Korea program is currently closed and Holt’s Korea adoption program is not accepting standard process applications. Contact us at adopt@holtinternational.org to learn about Holt’s other country programs and the children who need families!

Children in Korea Who Need Families

• Children are on average 2-3 years old at the time they join their adoptive families.
• More boys than girls from Korea need families through international adoption, and families cannot specify a gender preference.
• Families must be open to a child with needs, including prenatal alcohol/tobacco exposure and developmental delays. Contact us at adopt@holtinternational.org for more information on common child needs.
• All children stay in nurturing foster families while they wait, and a significant amount of information is typically available about the child, including any known/reported history from the child’s birth family.
• Older children and those with more involved needs are featured on our waiting child photolisting.
• Children with few or no identified needs are adopted domestically in Korea. As a result, Holt needs families able to parent a child with more involved needs.
