With adoption, the truth is ultimately the best

Council investigator Ans Bosman tells about searching for your origin and the importance of clear legislation.

Ans Bosman has been working as a council investigator for more than forty years at the RvdK in Rotterdam, where she mainly did adoption cases. "If adoptive children are told that they have been ceded, they may be sad about that," says Ans. "Processing their unknown past is comparable to a mourning period. People struggle with questions about their origins and origins and ask themselves: who am I really? ”The RvdK has been approaching a large group of people for years looking for information about their descent, for example because they have been abandoned or have been abandoned. foundling. Ans has supported many of these people in their search and therefore knows from experience how important that knowledge is. "That's how I know a middle-aged woman who has persisted in her search for years. At regular intervals she comes by to dig through her entire file for the umpteenth time. She does that, as she says herself, hoping to find a clue to her past. "

The passage of time does not ease the sorrow of an unknown past. "We recently helped a 70-year-old woman with information about her pedigree," says Ans. "Now that she had grandchildren, she went looking for her origins. We have found an old file about her adoption. Then you see that, even in old age, all kinds of things suddenly fall into place. People can, for example, place traits of themselves that caused them to fall out of tune in their adoptive family. "

Honesty is the best policy

There are many instances of prospective parents traveling from far corners of the country to Delhi to adopt a child. Such cases could also include physically disabled children or a single mother.

Taking a humane view of such instances, a Delhi court on Thursday

asked the ministry of women and child development and Central Adoption Resource Authority

(https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Central-Adoption-Resource-Authority) (CARA) if adoption matters could be filed in

courts within whose jurisdiction the proposed adoptive parents lived.

A 47 year old woman from the Philippines was jailed for six years on Thursday for her role in an illegal adoption case for a same sex couple — a Greek Cypriot and a Turk.

The couple have left Cyprus taking the baby. European and international warrants have been issued for their arrest but their whereabouts are unknown.

Cyprus’ adoption law specifies that a couple must be married in order to adopt, effectively barring same sex couples who can enter into civil partnerships here but cannot marry.

The defendant had brought the baby to Cyprus from the Philippines, appearing on a forged birth certificate as its birth mother. The Greek Cypriot man, who was the woman’s employer and is married to the Turkish man, appeared as the father on the same birth certificate.

The case dates back to 2018 when the Greek Cypriot man asked the Family Court for sole parental custody.

"There are a number of different schemes by which adoptions are being fraudulently induced in Northwest Arkansas"

ROGERS, Ark. (KFTA) — Following yet another report of fraudulent adoptions in Northwest Arkansas, a local attorney is doing everything he can to put a stop to the crime.

There’s a child, born to parents who have been poor for generations, not allowed to educate themselves or their children, ostracised from main society for centuries. There’s another child, born to some parents, but left with none, thrown in a dumpster, or left in a park, to die or to survive on its own, no idea where to get food from, or even how to get food, nowhere to go, and no one to love him/her.

It would be natural to think that both these children deserve sympathy and affirmative action in some form, if only from the voice of conscience that resides deep within us. That conscience speaks to the Government to take care of the destinies of these siblings in distress.

However, throughout its long existence, the Planning Commission did not think so.

As a result, in the above example, the first child gets benefitted under government schemes to go to school and college, coaching, hostels, reservation, loans and even sponsorship for studies abroad.

The second child? Well, if he/she is lucky enough to be in the 0.5% of all orphans that get to, through a rare concatenation of events, reach an orphanage, then the child has access to some food, limited education (only till age 14) and then at age 18, is shunted out to brave the streets again!

Consultation of Dutch distance files with retroactive effect free of charge for adopted persons

On September 30, 2019, Minister Dekker (Legal Protection) announced that access to Dutch distance files should be free of charge for adopted persons. Adopted persons who have incurred costs in the past to view the waiver file or to obtain pedigree data from the file, can reclaim the amount paid by them.

In his speech, held during the Start Conference on 'In-depth research into distance parents and distance children', Minister Dekker said that the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport is contributing to the financing of both access to distance files and financing for search actions by Fiom. This contribution from the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport means that inspection of Dutch distance files can take place free of charge. For searches, the minister refers to the institutional subsidy that Fiom already receives. The personal contribution for national searches (€ 85) remains.

Right to pedigree information

Adopted persons do not automatically have the right to inspect the distance file. The waiver file is the property of the waiver mother (the woman who has renounced her child). He must therefore give permission for inspection. The distance file not only contains information about the child's descent, but also displays the feelings and considerations of the distance mother. This information is often very personal.

Legal adoption experts, foreign diplomats, and representatives of local and international child-caring and child placement institutions have gathered together in Manila to further boost public awareness on the process of inter-country adoption.

Led by the Department of Social Welfare and Development (DSWD), through the Inter-Country Adoption Board (ICAB), the 15th Philippine Global Consultation on Child Welfare Services anchored on the theme, “Identifying the Needs of Children in Inter-country Adoption.”

The global consultation, which takes place every other year, serves as a platform to discuss and review policies and procedures to ensure that the best interest of Filipino children who are up for inter-country adoption will be prioritized and upheld.

DSWD Secretary and ICAB chair Rolando Joselito Bautista led the event and served as the keynote speaker.

Six children were rescued by police in July from six couples, who had allegedly bought the children from the accused.

A sessions court in Mumbai has granted bail to the key accused in an interstate child trafficking racket. Pawan Kumar Sharma (42) was arrested from Delhi on August 22 by the Mumbai Police Crime Branch, which claims him to be at the centre of the racket, connecting other accused, including surrogate mothers, nurses, biological parents who allegedly sold their children and couples who allegedly purchased them.

Claiming innocence, Sharma, in his bail plea, said he was never involved in the alleged trafficking. He also claimed that the children were given in adoption as per the rules. It was also argued that the children rescued by the police were being ‘properly maintained’ and the persons who ‘adopted’ them were also granted bail by the court. “After adoption, the adoptive parents were taking proper care of the children. The children have been admitted in the school. As the children are rescued and now they are in proper custody…the further detention of the applicant in the case is not required,” the sessions court said earlier this month. The court added that the apprehension raised by the police regarding tampering of evidence by Sharma can be dealt with by imposing stringent conditions.

Opposing Sharma’s bail, police had claimed that Sharma, who ran two fertility clinics, had sold newborn babies with the help of colleagues, who are still absconding. The police also claimed that biological parents of some of the children were yet to be traced. Other co-accused, including the adoptive parents, were granted bail earlier by the sessions court.

Six children were rescued by police in July from six couples, who had allegedly bought the children from the accused. The children, aged between 18 months and seven years, are in the custody of an adoption centre in Mankhurd. The Child Welfare Committee had refused to grant custody to the adoptive parents, stating such instances of trafficking are ‘rampantly increasing’. A writ petition filed by adoptive parents seeking custody of the children is currently pending before the Bombay High Court.

The Child Welfare Committee (CWC) also ordered Saintala police to inquire into the matter and submit a report.

BALANGIR: The newborn baby girl, who was rescued after being allegedly sold in Phapsi area of Titlagarh, was sent to the specialised adoption agency on Monday.

The Child Welfare Committee (CWC) also ordered Saintala police to inquire into the matter and submit a report.One Sarojini Mahakud of Balangir town had delivered the baby girl in Balangir and went to Phapsi to hand over infant to an unknown person. However, on a tip off, Saintala police and Childline officials rushed to the village and rescued the infant before producing her before the CWC.

In her defense, Sarojini said she wanted to hand over her baby daughter to one of her relatives due to her poor economic condition. “I have no family member and a home. My husband, who hails from Delhi, is not staying with me. I am too poor to take care of the baby,” she said. CWC chairperson J Mohanty said the baby has been sent to the adoption agency and the related formalities will start soon.
