REPUBLIC OF KENYA

IN THE HIGH COURT OF KENYA

AT MOMBASA

ADOPTION CAUSE NO. 1 OF 2014

IN THE MATTER OF THE CHILDREN ACT 2001

BREDA - During the interview, policewoman Ilse Boomaars suddenly can't keep her eyes off her mobile phone. The WhatsApp vibrates continuously. "Sorry, but I have to intervene now." An underage girl she knows as a victim of illegal prostitution no longer feels safe.

And gone is the enthusiastic specialist of the Aliens, Identity and Human Trafficking Department (Avim) in the Zeeland-West-Brabant region. There is not a second to lose after such a cry for help. Criminal pimps often listen in with their victims, the detective knows from experience. They have all the power over the vulnerable girls who have to work for them and can use merciless violence.

Ten minutes later Boomaars (38) steps back into the room with relief. ,, Arranged!", she says with a slightly triumphant sigh, "We will immediately get her back from the perpetrator. Our people are already on their way."

We have an investigation underway in our region in which two girls aged 14 and 15 are victims.

Infant trade discovered Baby exports from Europe to America

NEW YORK (P.A.). Florida police have unmasked and locked up a gangster gang whose job it was to establish and maintain a profitable trade in infants. For some time now, the attention of the American detectives had been drawn to advertisements placed in the major American newspapers, in which prospective mothers were asked to contact a certain address in person (or by telephone). Childless couples who wanted to adopt a baby could also report to the address in Florida.

The police there obtained information indicating that an international organization of criminals was involved in the trafficking of infants. This trade already started in 1919, but took off after the Second World War, even if it was alarming. The gang of criminals, which is especially concerned with this kind of crime, finds some support in public opinion, which has a Puritan aversion to children born out of wedlock and to unmarried mothers. Because that has more or less encouraged this form of crime. It has been found that babies from Europe are smuggled into the US and sold there to the highest bidder. Illegal childless couples take in babies—whose parents are unknown, or want to stay that—for which, of course, a lot of money has to be paid.

Jeffrey Epstein Is Not Unique, Read About The 20th Century Sodomite Who Stole Poor Christian Children, Put Them Into A Veritable Death Camp, And Then Sold The Survivors To Rich Jewish Families And Pedophiles In New York And California

Jeffrey Epstein is facing trial for child sex trafficking and rape. There is a tremendous amount of evidence against him, and given the large amounts of child pornography found on his person and the high-profiled connections he maintained for years, it is likely that he will be convicted.

What Epstein did is not new. In fact, a similar case happened during the early and mid-20th century in Tennessee with a woman named Beulah George “Georgia” Tann.

Beulah Tann is a very interesting person. She was born in Philadelphia, Mississippi in 1891. Her father was a powerful court judge in Meridian, known for his violent temper and irascible attitude. The family name “Tann” is an odd one, and it means “Pine tree” or “Fir tree” in German, such as with “Tannenbaum”, a name also associated with Ashkenazic Jewish communities. Likewise, Meridian is an area of Mississippi with a long-established historical and influential Jewish community that during the lifetime of Ms. Tann was one of the largest in the state.

Beulah was a sodomite who according to her Wikipedia biography expressed no desire to get married, but went into social work and started a lesbian relationship with one of her co-workers. Likewise, she was also accused of “questionable” adoption practices. Due to the nature of her actions she eventually fled Mississippi north to Tennessee where she became involved in another sodomite relationship with Camille Kelley, a powerful court judge in Memphis, who was favored by the local political machine run by E.H. Crump. The two would spend the next three decades destroying the lives of thousands of children through operating arguably what is the most horrible child and orphan trafficking scheme in American history whereby thousands of children were stolen or robbed from their parents using legally questionable and many times, illegal means covered up by the threat of legal action and then sold to pedophiles, celebrities and wealthy Jewish buyers in New York and California. Some children never made it, and died under the direct care of Ms. Tann which as Findagrave.com notes:

(CNS): The premier has agreed to examine the possibility of asking the United Kingdom to extend the Hague Convention on the Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Inter-country Adoption to enable Caymanian families to adopt children from overseas. Following the presentation of a private member’s motion brought by Chris Saunders, the opposition member for Bodden Town West, Alden McLaughlin said Saunders had done a good job persuading the government to look at the issue.

In his presentation Saunders said that he was aware of Caymanian families unable to have children who have sought to adopt from overseas because the pool for babies or very young children available for adoption locally is very small. But they are finding that in many cases, when they look further afield, they are prevented from adopting even when a suitable match is found because the countries of the children’s birth are signatures of the Hague convention and so cannot allow inter-country adoption with a non-member.

He asked government to see if the convention could be extended to Cayman to widen the pool for at least a few local families.

“All we are asking for is for the government to reach out to the UK to see if they can extend that convention and at least maybe two or three families can start a family of their own,” he told the Legislative Assembly, adding that it could expand the options for people who have had challenges starting a family.

The convention is designed to facilitate adoption of children around the world in the best interest of those children while protecting them from potential trafficking.

An abandoned girl child in an orphanage in Gujarat's Kutch was recently adopted by an American couple.

The couple had opted for adoption online through an Indian website.

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 restrictions, the couple could not travel to India earlier to fulfill the formalities and take the child along. As soon as the Covid-19 cases in India dropped, the couple came here to take their adopted child.

The girl was found in an abandoned condition two years back in Anjar tehsil of Kutch, after which she was admitted to the GK General Hospital. She underwent treatment in the hospital and was later handed over to the Women's Welfare Centre.

All the legal procedure of adopting the child was done through the lifeline agency of the USA.

Baby farms, kidnapped children, corruption: quite a bit has gone wrong in the adoption area. As a result, the process has acquired a negative charge. But is that right? Parent couples talk about their experiences with adoption.

The pastoral couple Maljaars-van Schothorst from 's-Gravenpolder adopted three children: Eline (25), Simon (22) and Christian (16).

How did you end up with adoption?

Rev. Maljaars: “We got married in 1992. After two years it turned out that we could not have children of our own. Before that we had already thought about adoption. We both have a background in education. We love children and were looking forward to being able to do something for others.” Mrs. Maljaars: "We have put this matter before the Lord in prayer, asking if He would show us the way." Rev. Maljaars: “You sometimes hear: if the Lord lays on you the cross of childlessness, may you go a different way? That is very personal. From the beginning we looked forward to the Lord's will to precede us in this. Because you must remain honest about God's guidance in your life: it is not about what we want, but what the Lord wants. In addition, the Lord can open roads, but He can also close them in His wisdom.” Mrs. Maljaars: "Just at that time there was an article about adoption in the GezinsGids that appealed to us. A lecture by Rev. Bac at the adoption association about God's providence in the light of adoption also touched us a lot." Rev. Maljaars: “And at your grandfather's funeral, remember? An uncle closed with the family. Addressing us as grandchildren, he pointed to Genesis 17, which speaks of the covenant God made with Abraham and his posterity. Not only the natives of his house were to be circumcised, but also those bought with money from a stranger, who were not of the family of Abraham. Unexpectedly, we were pointed to this scripture, in which there is a clear line to adoption. At that time, we had shared our plans with few people.

How did the process go?

For the opening of investigations into illegal adoptions and illicit practices in intercountry adoptions since 1950 in Europe

In recent years, more and more of us in Europe have called for an investigation into the illicit practices observed in intercountry adoption for several decades.

Indeed, today, it is clear that :

In view of the difficulties encountered by adoptees in obtaining information on their origins, despite the right to access information which is supposedly a fundamental right ;

In view of the growing number of adoptees living in European Union countries who discover that their international adoption has been the subject of illegal practices (falsified documents, erroneous accounts, child trafficking, kidnappings, false contentment’s, etc.) and some of whom find, against all odds, their biological family ;

In many regions of Uganda, Kugatta means ‘bringing together’. If you are new to this website and our work, a big part of what we do is to help bring together families that have been separated by intercountry adoption. One of the main reasons I started this organization was because of my own experience with intercountry adoption. Our family adopted from Uganda only to realize a year and a half later that “our” daughter had been unlawfully separated from her loving family in order to fulfil our application to adopt. That experience propelled me to dig deeper and ensure this wasn’t happening to other Ugandan families. Those investigations and research proved that our experience was in fact the norm and not the exception. Kugatta has met one Ugandan family after another, all with similar stories. Families who were seeking temporary help are only offered help through intercountry adoption. These families do not fully understanding adoption to mean anything more than “help” or “sponsorship” and they unknowingly signed away their parental rights.

A statistic that really stands out for me is that 4 out of 5 children in orphanages in countries like Uganda HAVE FAMILIES. Usually the first question I get after sharing that statistic is, “Why are families placing their children in orphanages if they want to parent them?” Well, in countries like Uganda where the government infrastructure is developing and there is little to no welfare system in place, families often look to local orphanages when they have fallen on hard times. Just like we in America look to social services for help when we are going through difficult times, orphanages promise to provide three meals a day, access to education, medical treatments, and to amenities like electricity and programs to receive school supplies and other such much needed items. The most influential reason for placing a child in an orphanage is the promise of a good education. Education in Uganda is very costly, and there is no free primary education. Just like most parents, we all want the best education for our children. So in essence most of these parents are doing what they believe is best for their children. Also, parents are promised access to their children and that they can come home at any time.

Mamma H with her eldest daughter

Meet Mama H (pictured above with her eldest daughter). This Ugandan mother reached out to Kugatta to help her find her son who was adopted to America. While in most cases when we search for children and find the adoptive families they are very open and receptive to the injustices that have incurred, some aren’t. In fact, in some instances they want nothing to do with any of it. As overwhelming and tragic as that is, Kugatta honours their decision, even when we don’t agree. When this happens we continue to work with and empower the vulnerable family member who was left behind. We provide a platform for their experiences to be heard and shared so we can all learn and grow from their experience and hopefully prevent things like this from ever happening again.

Here is an interview Gladys did with with Ugandan mother whom we will refer to as Mama H. She unknowingly signed away her parental rights. She is sharing her experience for two reasons: to ensure others will learn from her experience and loss; so hopefully her son will one day see and hear her story and know he was loved and searched for, from the moment he left her side.
