Mysuru police uncover adoption racket

MYSURU: District cops have uncovered an illegal adoption racket by cracking three cases in less than two months.

A 60-year-old woman and her 31-year-old daughter were arrested for trafficking two newborns and selling the infants to childless couples in Hassan and Kollegal, while another case is being investigated in HD Kote. The mother-daughter duo had collected Rs 7.5 lakh from the couples adopting unlawfully.

Superintendent of police R Chethan on Wednesday said he suspected there could be more cases of illegal adoptions. “As of now two cases have been unearthed from the mother and daughter. Teams have been formed to dig deep into the illegal racket,” he said.

As of now, cops have not found any similarities in the two cases in Nanjangud. Srimathi aka Saraswathi and her daughter Lakshmi allegedly contacted financially poor new mothers and childless couples, and worked as mediators between them to make money. We suspect the involvement of a staff of a private hospital in Mysuru where both the babies were delivered, the SP added.

Srimathi has allegedly collected Rs 4 lakh from a Hassan couple to give them a baby boy while Rs 3.5 lakh was collected from Kollegal couple for a baby girl. The money has been seized from Srimathi. Mothers may not have been aware of money transactions by Srimathi, the SP stated. Srimathi, a resident of Nanjangud, rents autos and does odd jobs for a living, police said.

Adoptees from China and Taiwan all end up well, and that's the problem

Adoption Adoptees from China and Taiwan suffer from the idea that they are part of an exemplary minority. “No one has looked into us.”

'No, no cheese cubes,' winks 26-year-old Nikwi Hoogland as she sets down a snack platter with prawn crackers and chocolate. The snacks brought by her guests are displayed on the picnic rug in the living room of her brand new single-family home in Veenendaal. The buffet is a mishmash of food, from sushi to sausage rolls, brownies, wraps and skewers with mozzarella and tomato.

Most praised is the onigiri – rice ball with filling – from Liam Austin. “Look”, demonstrates the 23-year-old from Hoofddorp, “and then you fold it in the seaweed sheet. And then you do like this, and like that, and then put some shimichi powder on it.”

"Oh my God!"

"Wow!"

This professor pointed out problems with adoption a long time ago. He is still right 'forty years too late'

René Hoksbergen, professor of adoption René Hoksbergen saw early on that adopting children from abroad can cause problems.

Decades ago, René Hoksbergen pointed to problems with foreign adoption. This spring, the Committee on International Adoption Investigation concluded that abuses do indeed occur. As a result, all adoption procedures have been halted. There will also be an Expertise Center for identity questions, searches and aftercare.

Professor René Hoksbergen

Hoksbergen , professor emeritus at Utrecht University specializing in adoption, says he is "very happy" with the conclusions of the committee. "But it's forty years too late."

Hoksbergen (80) saw it go wrong. “Of course, in the beginning, around the 1970s, it was beautiful. In distant countries there was war, poverty and we Dutch could help. We bring the children here and give them a lot of love, then it will be all right, was the idea. It was called 'the pink cloud'. There were a lot of idealistic, passionate adoptive parents here, and the ministry was behind it. I also enthusiastically helped to bring children here.”
