Adoption children who rang the bell remain puzzled when investigating fraud

After testimonials about fraud with adoptions from Ethiopia, the Minister of Welfare promises Jo Vandeurzen (CD&V) an investigation. Adinda Aelvoet and Priyani Libert remain with a wry feeling behind. "Because they are almost elections, our politicians are now in motion. Then we

came out with our adoption story a year and a half ago, nothing happened. " On Saturday, 17-year-old Thereza De Wannemaeker testified in Het Laatste Nieuws Denderleeuw about her fraudulent adoption from Ethiopia in 2009. According to the official her biological mother had disappeared and her father had died. Discovered later Thereza that none of that story was true.

In recent days, fifteen more testimonials have been received from the newspaper about suspected adoption fraud. Spin in the web is the adoption agency Ray of Hope (RoH), that from 1997 to 2017 cooperated with a completely unreliable Ethiopian according to the testimonials

contact. Flemish Member of Parliament Lorin Parys (N-VA) wants an extra session of even before the elections the Flemish Parliament about the possible fraudulent adoptions. He argues for a "profound." and independent research. " Jo Vandeurzen is also Flemish Minister for Welfare favors such a study of past adoption practices.

The Council on Accreditation (COA) reports that on May 2, 2018, Michael S. Goldstein, Esq., voluntarily relinquished his accreditation to provide intercountry adoption services.

Agencies or persons that are not accredited or approved may not act as a primary provider but may perform services for intercountry adoption under the supervision of an accredited or approved adoption service provider in accordance with the regulations. When an agency or person’s accreditation or approval expires or is relinquished, the agency or person is responsible for executing their plan for transferring cases and records as required by 22 CFR 96.33(e) and 96.42(d).

Families working with Michael S. Goldstein, Esq., should contact him directly with questions about case or record transfer. We also encourage families to review the information published by the Council on Accreditation about selecting a primary provider/adoption service provider and the accreditation/approval requirements.

The Department of State does not review or approve case transfer plans and has a limited role in their execution. The Department does, however, communicate with competent adoption authorities about the accreditation status of agencies and persons and case transfer plans, as needed.

Adoption from abroad is increasingly being questioned. The research program Zembla recently paid attention to corruption in adoptions from Sri Lanka, and on television in April was the Dutch documentary drama 'Exportbaby', about corruption in adoptions from Uganda. Last year, the Council for Criminal Justice Application and Youth Protection advised to ban adoption from abroad.

One of the first to uncover corruption scandals was Roelie Post, an official at the European Commission in Brussels. In the late nineties she worked for the EC on the issue of children's rights in Romania. They had to be resolved before Romania's accession to the EU was possible.

Post was faced with opposition and threats that are so serious that she is now living in hiding in a village in the north of the Netherlands and that she has a long-standing conflict with her employer, the EC. It does not recognize her as a whistleblower and threatens with punitive measures.

Roelie Post tells her story in Argos.

The investigating officer said “the accused used to torture the victims regularly and assault them with a belt and water pipes”. They were also branded in their legs and hands using hot knives for petty reasons. Thankfully, medical examinations revealed that they were not sexually abused.

Initially, when the police tried to find documentation related to the adoption of the girls, they couldn’t find any. A team went to Andhra Pradesh to investigate the origin of the girls. The Hindu reported Sub Inspector Ritesh Tari as saying, “The police team is visiting Andhra Pradesh to find out if the accused adopted the girls or bought them from their parents.”

The name of the orphanage hasn’t been mentioned in any MSM report. But data shows that Venus Habib is associated with a UK based charity, Yashua Sanctuary.

On paper, Carlos Haas is German. But he was born in 1985 in Guatemala, Central America. When he was four months old, he was adopted in Lower Franconia. More than 30 years later, he is looking for his birth mother - and finds her. He travels to Guatemala.

The red off-road vehicle speeds down the winding road in the highlands of Guatemala.

Carlos Haas sits in the back seat with his wife and two children. Outside the mighty mountains of the Cuchumatanes pass by. But Carlos has no eye for that. He's sick of the corners. And the excitement.

“Cuánto falta ahorita?” Again he wants to know how long it will be. 40 minutes, says Maco.
