You can't miss Sushila Maier. The Rottenbucherin is happy, lively, talkative. Really Bavarian, she says. But also really Indian. The story of an adoption that began with the help of Mother Teresa.

Rottenbuch - “Oh, there it is!” Sushila Maier is getting faster. The freezing wind rushes through her hair. She stops in front of a tree and looks. "Hm, no. Then the one. ”She points to a mighty specimen next to it. A lightning bolt once split this tree, and thick trunks stick out in several directions. “Mei, we climbed around in there.” Full of enthusiasm, she talks about the adventures in the forest, behind the church wall.

From swimming in the Ammer, "my blue lagoon". The wind blows through the branches, and with Maier's colorful descriptions you can almost hear the laughter of children from back then.

Minister Ferd Grapperhaus of Justice and Security has set up a committee that will investigate the nature and extent of sadistic child abuse.

The full House of Representatives had asked for such an investigation in a motion. This in response to the Argos broadcast Glass shards and dark rituals on June 27, 2020. The research will be led by Jan Hendriks, professor of Forensic Orthopedagogic Diagnostics and Treatment at the University of Amsterdam.

On March 1, Argos reported that the Scientific Research and Documentation Center (WODC), which was initially asked to carry out the research, had given back the order . The WODC saw no possibilities to conduct this research in a scientifically responsible manner.

Order

The task given by the minister to the committee chaired by Professor Hendriks is as follows: ' Collect the available information about the aforementioned phenomenon of organized sadistic abuse of minors by making use of as many sources as possible (including victims, therapists, scientific sources and experts in this particular field). On the basis of the findings, give advice to the investigation. In addition, based on the findings, give advice on setting up a reporting center. '

Gera ter Meulen, KennisBureau ter Meulen, for Foster Care and Adoption

The Joustra Committee's research has yielded much good. She states in her report that in the past the government failed to take timely measures to combat abuses, which Minister Dekker acknowledges and for which he apologized. He is also taking measures to give adoptees more support in the search for their origins and to improve their legal position. And there will be an expertise center. This is all very positive.

However, the Joustra Committee also concludes that intercountry adoption remains vulnerable to abuses and that the current system cannot therefore be maintained. Intercountry adoption should be suspended. Based on my expertise as a scientist specializing in adoption and foster care, I have read the report carefully and have several critical comments on this last conclusion.

Children's rights

First of all, the scientific literature on which the Committee relies appears to be very one-sided and important articles that provide a broader picture of adoption as a child protection measure have not been included. It almost seems that those who focus on adoption abuses will at some point become trapped in one side of a reality and lose sight of other points of view such as child protection.

Married and un-married people cannot be treated as a class apart, particularly when inter-country or in-country adoptions are permitted under the gazetted Indian Adoption Regulations

The ministry of home affairs’ March 4 notification has created a dilemma for non-resident Indians hoping to become parents through adoption or surrogacy due to disparity in Indian laws.

NRIs have been equated to overseas citizens of India (OCIs) in matters of inter-country adoption. Gazetted Indian Adoption Regulations, 2017 (AR) treat NRIs at par with resident Indians when it comes to adopting an Indian citizen. Despite the Surrogacy (Regulation) Bill, 2020 proposing to allow surrogacy for OCIs, the March 4 notification makes no mention of the same.

Our constitution does not allow dual citizenship. Upon voluntary acquisition of the citizenship of another country, a person ceases to be an Indian citizen. A child born to foreign citizens of Indian origin cannot become a citizen of India, as neither parent is an Indian national. A new category of citizenship, OCI, was created in 2005, which gave overseas citizens limited privileges and no rights. The March 4 notification defines an OCI as a foreign national holding the passport of a foreign country and who is not a citizen of India.

Both the constitution and Citizenship Act (CA), categorically prohibit dual citizenship. CA specifically prohibits OCIs from having political and other rights. They have, however, been granted multiple entry life-long visa facility for visiting India for any purpose at any time. They are also exempted from registering with the Foreigners’ Registration Office or police authorities, for any length of stay in India and are entitled to benefits notified under CA by the Centre from time to time.

An adoption tale: Uncovering a lifelong secret

In the post-war years, social mores forced more than three million unwed mothers into what has been characterized as an adoption industry. Correspondent Rita Braver talks with two families who, late in life, discovered their shared connection owing to a young woman having been coerced into giving up her baby; and with Gabrielle Glaser, author of "American Baby: A Mother, a Child, and the Shadow History of Adoption."
