For more than two years, Raquel Rueda Pinilla has spent almost all of her time searching for the biological mothers and fathers of Colombians given up for adoption at home and abroad, without receiving anything in return. Together with a colleague in the United States, they have solved more than 90 cases and have more than 100 pending.

“Good morning, my name is Raquel Rueda Pinilla and I do social work. I help people given up for adoption to find their biological families ... Are you ...? There is a person who wants to know about you ”, is what Raquel always says.

The person on the other end of the line may say “no, she is wrong” or “yes, my name is that, but I have not given up adoption” or there may simply be a silence of several seconds, even minutes, that makes Raquel feel that this time it can be.

After endless calls, days or months of investigation and sleepless nights, because she does not take cases lightly but feels them more her own than if they were, the possibility of finally having hit the mark returns "that something" that he loses when he cannot find the way.

At 63 years old, who wears gracefully and proudly just as she wears her reddish freckles, she works more than many in her 30s and rests less than those her age. All day, every day for two and a half years, she has dedicated herself to helping people find their origin, their beginning, their roots, without trying to profit from it.

Girl three weeks after adoption to foster family

A couple who had adopted a 2-year-old girl from China placed the girl with a foster family 3 weeks after her arrival in the Netherlands, without reporting this to the adoption organization or other organizations involved in the adoption.

The girl and one of the adoptive parents could not get along. 'The child constantly rejected this adoptive parent. This parent could not handle this. They saw no other way out than to place the child in a foster home, "the Youth Care Inspectorate writes in a report on this case.

The girl was adopted in August 2011. Only in February 2012 was the Child and Future Foundation, the organization that mediated in the adoption, informed of the failed adoption. This happened after the foster parents had requested extra support from the Youth Care Agency.

According to a spokesperson for the inspection, it is the first time that a case such as this has been reported. The spokesperson said that the authorities did not know that the child was no longer living with the adoptive parents 'very bad'. The adoptive parents deliberately did not inform the various authorities that the adoption had failed because they were afraid that the Child Protection Board would be called in and the child would be moved from one home or foster home to another.

Kerala NGOs block adoption home rules

Kerala has the most number of child care homes (1,396) that allow for legal adoption.

The Centre’s efforts to map and register all Child Care Institutions in the country seem to have been thwarted by 579 homes in the state of Kerala that have contested the requirement in court. Kerala has the most number of child care homes (1,396) that allow for legal adoption, with almost 50,000 children living in them, according to the women and child development ministry. The ministry had stepped up the mapping and registration of the country’s almost 9,000 homes after allegations of illegal adoption from homes run by the Missionaries of Charity in Jharkhand surfaced in June last year.

As per figures provided by the ministry in Parliament last week, 7,907 homes had registered so far, while 888 homes are still unregistered, a majority of them in Kerala. In a bid to make child care homes more accountable, the Juvenile Justice Act, 2015, mandates the registration of all child care institutions and has laid out strict norms for living conditions in them and inspections by child welfare committees. Ministry officials said the homes in Kerala, many of which are run by NGOs, have approached the state high court for a relaxation in the norms, which may add to their financial burden. The norms include hiring of staff and the size of living space for each child living in the home.

'' The matter has become sub judice and we cannot take any action till the matter is resolved,” a ministry official said. Other states with a chunk of the unregistered CCIs are

Beste Roelie,

Zojuist uitgebreid met Selmayr gesproken. Ik zal hier verder geen ruchtbaarheid aan geven en verzoek jou hetzelfde te doen, maar het gesprek verliep boven verwachting goed.

Santosh Garje, founder of an orphanage in Maharashtra’s Beed district, has been buying around 10,000 litres of water from private suppliers, at a cost of Rs 1,200 a day, since January 2018.

Santosh Garje, who runs an orphanage for 85-odd children in Maharashtra’s drought-hit Beed district, is going to sit on an indefinite hunger strike outside tehsildar’s office in Georai tehsil from Tuesday. Reason? Despite following up with the district administration for a year, the orphanage has still not got the water supply needed to fulfil its daily needs.

Garje has been buying around 10,000 litres of water from private suppliers, at a cost of Rs 1,200 a day, since January 2018. As the orphanage is run through public participation, spending more than Rs 36,000 a month only on water is no longer feasible.

Beed district collector M Devendra Singh said he had no idea about any such demand from the orphanage and arrangements can be done if they approach him.

Garje founded Sahara Anathalaya Parivar, an orphanage known as Balgram, in 2004, when he was 18.

It was in the end July that a girl child’s scream and a concerned neighbour’s call to the child helpline lifted the lid on the gory saga of a child sex racket in the temple town of Yadadri. The eight-year old girl Manjula (name changed) who was coerced to witness sexual acts of adults during night time was forced to complete household chores during day. The tired girl was punished with a hot spatula for not obeying the commands of her pseudo mother Kamsani Kalyani.

Upon questioning by the police, Kalyani spilled beans that the girl was not her child but was procured from a pimp Kamsani Shankar and was groomed into the flesh trade. The lady further revealed that young girls are generally taught tricks of the trade at an early stage of their lives. After investigation, the police have sealed 22 houses and arrested 30 people, including several women, on August 2, 2018. The police slapped cases under IPC sections 370A, 371 and 366, relevant sections of POCSO Act and the PD Act. Police hope conviction of at least 10 accused under the PD Act (Preventive Detention Act).

A registered medical practitioner (RMP) Venkat Reddy in the vicinity helped the mothers to transform the girls into women by pumping hormones. The doctor also helped the trade by illegally terminating pregnancies. The Anuradha Maternity Clinic in Ganesh Nagar of Yadadri is now being sealed and the doctor has been arrested under sections 420, 419 of IPC, Section 26 of Drugs and Cosmetics Act and Section 15 of the Indian Medical Council Act 1956.

Many ampoules of Oxytocin, referred as love hormone, were found in the clinic located close to the Yadadri Hill. Oxytocin is a hormone and a neurotransmitter that is involved in childbirth and breast-feeding. It is also associated with empathy, trust, sexual activity, and relationship-building. It is said that the love hormone shoots in blood during hugging and orgasm.
