Adoption: Online, but without a soul?

Eight-year-old Harsha (name changed) was recently adopted by a couple in Hyderabad from an adoption agency in Bengaluru. The prospective parents were eager to take the child home and

hence he had to be pulled out of school mid-year. Like any other child of his age, Harsha was active

and mischievous. While the father, a school teacher, found this behaviour normal for a child of that

age, the mother found it diicult to cope. She grew exasperated with him. Regretting the adoption,

she approached the agency to take the child back, even as the agency members tried to reason

Transgenders raise the adoption question

‘The online form for adoption has only two options, male and female’

Though Kerala came up with a transgender policy in 2015, many socio-legal problems of sexual minorities are yet to be addressed, according to LGBTQ activists.

“Marriage and adoption of children are still a huge issue for sexual minorities,” says Vijayaraja Mallika, transwoman poet and winner of the Vayalar Ramavarma Poetry Award 2019, who got married recently. To get married, transgenders have to cross many hurdles. Even if they are transman or transwoman, they have to procure the identity cards of ‘cismale’ and ‘cisfemale’ to get married. Otherwise they can live together, but the relationship will not be legal, she noted.

“The online form for adoption does not even have a third option, other than male and female. Leave alone the huge financial burden for such legal adoptions, the rules do not allow sexual minorities to legally adopt children,” Ms. Shyam noted.

Efter 37 år – nu ska Valeria träffa sin biologiska familj

After 37 years - now Valeria will meet her biological family

Valeria Bergmontt was taken from her mother against her will when she was nine months old and adopted to Sweden. Now she will meet her biological family in Chile.

- This is much bigger than I thought it would be, she says.

Many of the children who were adopted from Chile to Sweden during the 1970s and 1980s may have been taken from their parents without their consent, we have previously stated here in Svt Nyheter Väst. One of them is Valeria, who currently lives in Gothenburg. She was nine months old when she was adopted. Today she is 38. She is one of many children suspected of being taken from her biological family in Chile against the family's will.

- Of course, my adoptive parents had no idea that it had happened or that it could be so. She had none, she says.

Do we have a Prime Minister who will not comply with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the ECHR?

Do we have a Prime Minister who will not comply with the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the ECHR?

The speech was viewed with excitement, as the Social Democracy has previously been planning to place 50,000 children and young people against the approximately 14,400 children and young people placed today. Shortly before the Prime Minister's speech, she posted an update on Facebook that she wanted to talk about the children.

Unfortunately, there was a speech that could be remembered for the Prime Minister of Denmark not wanting to comply with both the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and the European Convention on Human Rights, Article 8, that children should not be separated from their families.

In her speech, she pointed out that more children need to be placed very early, as they want to be better placed to break their patterns.
