NEW DELHI: The Supreme Court on Tuesday said that DNA tests cannot

be ordered to establish the legitimacy of a child born during the

subsistence of a marriage if there is no primary evidence of adultery.

A bench of Justices Vineet Saran and Dinesh Maheshwari set aside the

orders of a lower court and Bombay high court which had allowed a plea

The highest number of orphaned children have been recorded in Pune division (106), followed by Konkan division (104), Nashik division (94)

Acting on the Supreme Court’s direction, the state constituted task forces in each district to identify such children and avert their trafficking and illegal adoptions. (HT FILE)

The Covid-19 pandemic has claimed more than 130,000 lives in the state and has severely impacted the lives of the children. In Maharashtra, 15,793 have lost one parent to Covid-19, while nearly 490 have become orphans, revealed the data compiled by the department of women and child development (WCD).

Neelam Navale, 10, contracted Covid-19 in April along with her elder brother, Sunil, 15, and both their parents— Ramakant and Ankita. On April 13, Ramakant’s oxygen saturation dropped to 89% and he was immediately admitted to the district hospital. But he succumbed to the infection within 24 hours. Even before the family could cope up with their loss, Ankita also had to be rushed to the hospital’s intensive care unit (ICU) on April 15 due to breathlessness. She breathed her last on April 25. It was only in June that the relatives told the children about their parents’ deaths.

“Neelam is too young to understand the loss but Sunil has been left completely traumatised,” said their aunt Renuka Ojha. At present, the children are staying with their uncle in Banaras, Uttar Pradesh.

Unknown to the business world, the young notable of Roubaix preferred to leave that year the country where François Mitterrand had just entered the Elysee Palace. Back to this episode.

We learned on Saturday, September 8 that Bernard Arnault applied for Belgian nationality , which many interpreted as the prelude to tax exile, a consequence of the policy led by François Hollande. Thirty years ago, the businessman left France for the United States when François Mitterrand arrived at the Elysee Palace.

Why he decides to leave

In 1981, Bernard Arnault, 32, runs the Férinel company with his father Jean, which is involved in property development and housing construction. The businessman is scrambling not to find a business commensurate with his ambition, when, on May 10, 1981, François Mitterrand's face appears on television. The program of the new President of the Republic is resolutely socialist, and Communists enter the government. The young man decides to leave France for the United States. In his biography, L'Ange exterminateur (Albin Michel, 2003), Airy Routier, collaborator of Challenges , writes:

"Bernard [Arnault] is not really afraid of the reds. He is not of this generation and does not pose the problem in these terms. He approaches it in a more pragmatic way. Politics, the breath of history fly over his head. He doesn't know them. He doesn't care.

In 2001, a family discovered a baby in the arms of a young girl and disappeared into thin air The young girl is now 20 years old, and having accepted her as their own, the family still struggles with the adoption process The family narrated their struggle to adopt Rami, who is a special girl, continues

She was only seven days old when they discovered her in 2001. Nancy Amati’s late mom, a teacher, came home to find one of her nieces seated outside the gate and holding another baby she had never seen before.

Source: UGC No one knows how the baby ended up in another baby’s arms. “But my mom took the little one in as one of her own as that, to her, was the right thing to do. My youngest sister had just cleared high school. She fell in love with the baby and took care of her like her own, clinic, feeding (cow's milk) and would cuddle the baby in her stomach for the baby not to freeze to death. The child was underweight and helpless. Formula was not even a consideration because of the cost,” Amati told TUKO.co.ke.

They named the little girl Ildiko Rami, meaning “you are loved”. Rami was a special kid Gradually, Amati’s late mom, nicknamed “Angel, " noticed that young Rami was late in hitting some milestones. But her friends quickly dissuaded her and assured her that it was normal. Their late mom adopted her because no one else of legal age in the family was able to. “In preschool and early primary, her excellent mathematical ability as well as outstanding neat handwriting were obvious. At around age seven, she seemed rude, uncooperative and unruly. At first, we would get angry, frustrated with her before we suspected that it might be more than it seemed,” Amati recalled.

Concerned, Amati’s mom took her to the doctor for diagnosis and was informed that Rami needed special education. A school was recommended. READ ALSO 10-Year-Old Girl Hailed as Hero for Getting Family to Safety during Home Invasion On attending, Amati said they discovered that she ended up being used to care for the other special kids as she was not too badly off. But, unfortunately, her condition continued in regression. So, the family decided to pull her out. “My youngest sister, who was by then an adult, wanted to adopt her. Other than loving her, she was in a position to get her the help she needed, better health care, youthful energy as well as a break for mom, who was now retired and taking care of my sick dad. We were introduced to a lawyer who started the adoption process,” Amati told TUKO.co.ke. Seven years later and with lots of money, the adoption ‘went through’, or so they thought.

"It's much later that we learnt that it was all a sham. Meanwhile, both of our parents had passed on, and her regression was steep and rapid. She automatically came into my care. She has been through various tests, scans and all but no doctor so far has been able to tell us what the problem is. Two more lawyers later, no adoption,” Amati said.

Brave New World !!!!!

This text by Juan Branco, transmitted by Jean-Claude Bourret on his Facebook page, shows how we are all cheated, manipulated, misinformed:

Chronicles of the Oligarchy

I discovered today that the most powerful senior official in France, Marc Guillaume, Secretary General of the Government, debarred for sexism and authoritarianism, after having rained and shined for five years on the administration of our country , is married to the advertising director at Louis Vuitton, owned by Bernard Arnault.

This reminds me that Christophe Girard, deputy mayor in charge of culture in Paris, Fabiusien disembarked because of support for an assumed pedophile, is an employee of LVMH, owned by Bernard Arnault.

Medical watchdogs have admitted no records exist to trace women given a cancer-causing drug that places future generations at risk.

A synthetic hormone, ­developed to mimic oestrogen, was given to young mothers to dry up their breast milk after their babies were taken for adoption.

But Diethylstilbestrol – known as DES and Stilbestrol, Stilboestrol and Desplex in the UK – has been linked to a number of breast and vaginal cancers, gynaecological abnormalities and infertility in the children and grandchildren of women given the pills.

And the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists recommends those exposed to the drug have annual colposcopic examinations in specialist centres.

But now medical ­authorities admit there is no way of tracking down women given the drug, or their children.

It's a real earthquake in the world of adoption. Two young women born in Ethiopia and adopted in France, as well as an adoptive parent, have just lodged a complaint for "breach of trust and fraud" against the association "Les Enfants de la Reine de Miséricorde", based in Coutances (Manche) . They are convinced that members of this association have managed to make certain children adoptable, sometimes by falsifying documents to change their age, sometimes by forging false letters. But above all much more serious: by not mentioning that one, or even both of these children's biological parents, was still alive! In any case, this is the conviction of Julie Foulon, herself adopted at the age of 6, and author of the autobiographical book "Sara and Tsega", which has, it seems,

,

Julie Foulon claims to have been torn from her family in Ethiopia to find herself at the age of 6 with adoptive parents in La Manche. The child had to keep it a secret that his mother was alive. Shocking testimony of a false orphan who took legal action.

The story of Julie Foulon, 24, is beyond comprehension. Born in Ethiopia, she arrived in France at the age of 6, to be adopted there through the association Les Enfants de Reine de Miséricorde. She and her 4-year-old sister were declared orphans. But she says today that the death of their biological mother was invented!

Following the publication of our article "Ethiopia's Adoption Scandal: Did the Good Samaritans sin only through negligence?" "In our June 2021 issue, the adoption agency Les Enfants de Reine Miséricorde sent us the

Chat 29 Jun 2021

The newspaper Causette (June 2021) seriously calls into question our adoption organization "The Children of the Queen of Mercy (ERM)" by titling "adoption scandal in Ethiopia" and by publishing testimonies of particular cases, concerning adoptions in Ethiopia carried out through us.

Certain elements of the report reveal a profound ignorance of adoption procedures. Body authorized for adoption by the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs, ERM's mission is in strict compliance with the legal requirements in force at national and international levels as well as in the highest ethics. In Ethiopia as in all countries, the decision to make a child adoptable is the sovereign responsibility of the authorities. Only these authorities can establish, after investigation, the history of the child and decide to offer him for adoption. These are the documents that are given to the adoption agencies and the adoption agencies are not allowed to exercise any control. All ERM adoptions have been adjudicated by the Addis Ababa court and are fully legal. In addition, the whole is monitored by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and adoptions are submitted to French justice. Ethiopian law does not allow abandonment of a child (except in the case of parents with AIDS). This is why parents have sometimes been able to pretend to be dead or missing, without the knowledge of the authorities and without our knowledge, in order to allow an adoption, in this country where no social assistance is available for a family in distress. Ethiopia's lack of civil status has facilitated such practices. The decision to give a child up for adoption is no less real and has been verified in almost all cases where the biological family has been found. ERM is bound by the secrecy imposed by law and cannot therefore provide concrete answers to the cases described by Causette.

ERM has always been vigilant and continuously improved its practices over the years: insistence on collecting children's stories from social services; end of adoptions of children from Addis Ababa orphanages after discovery of anomalies; exchanges with the Ethiopian authorities who have changed their procedures; setting up sponsorships to find local solutions whenever possible (today still 1070 Ethiopian children are sponsored); organization of “return to Ethiopia” supervised trips with adoptees (around 100). ERM was approached by adoptive families saying that their children were telling them about biological parents who were still alive. Gilbert Bayon, then president of ERM, took the initiative from 2004, through his many trips, to research the Ethiopian origins of adopted young people in an attempt to re-establish the truth and transmit to families the information he had obtained on the spot. This is how ERM found Julie Foulon's biological mother in 2007 and informed her adoptive parents. The Causette newspaper allowed itself to be diverted from the truth by this young woman whose testimony is in total contradiction with the evidence at our disposal. How can we imagine that its members would have mobilized with so much energy to help the reunion with biological families if ERM had something to hide in the scandal of which it is accused?

A male baby that was adopted illegally has been rescued from the adopter.

Police said Vasanthakumar, 32, of Aralvaimozhi in the district was arrested last year under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Act on charges of sexually abusing a 17-year-old girl from the same area.

When he was enlarged on bail, Vasanthakumar came to know that the girl had given birth to a boy, which was later given in adoption to Paulraj of Paalapallam near Karungal in the district through a nurse.

Baby sold?

After Vasaanthakumar informed the District Child Protection Unit about the “sale of baby for ?2 lakh”, a special police team was formed to rescue the baby from Mr. Paulraj.
