SEOUL, May 10 (Yonhap) -- The government plans to establish a state-led adoption system to better ensure the well-being of adoptees and reduce the number of children adopted overseas, health ministry officials said Friday.

The announcement of the adoption system reform comes ahead of the scheduled implementation of laws on overseas and domestic adoption in July next year, aimed at enhancing the rights and well-being of adoptees and adoptive families.

In the envisioned system, the central and the regional government will take over the adoption process, currently managed by private agencies, to facilitate the placement of adoptees with new parents and provide support for adoptive families.

Under the measures, local governments will permit adoption only when it is determined to be in the best interest of the child, and the heads of regional municipalities will assume the role of official guardians to safeguard the adoptees until the adoption process is completed.

The health ministry, meanwhile, will be responsible for selecting candidates for overseas adoption and verifying the qualifications of prospective adoptive parents.

DAVENPORT, Fla. - A 4-year-old boy is dead, and his mother is in jail on murder charges, accused of beating him to death.

Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd says Bryan Boyer, who was born in Haiti, went to live with Patricia Saintizaire, 36, in Davenport last year. The sheriff explained that the child was born to a woman who didn’t want him and Saintizaire’s sister began the process of adopting him for Saintizaire to keep. Saintizaire, according to Judd, also adopted her 16-year-old son from Haiti.

When Christina and Maria were small, their mother was hospitalized and the police found two starving girls. Against advice, an officer nursed both girls to life and they were adopted to Denmark. But a feeling of emptiness came with it.

- They said I shouldn't breastfeed you. But I feared you would die if I didn't.

Maria and Christina are in Bolivia, where they face the woman who found them as children. She was a police officer. The two sisters have traveled to their country of birth in an attempt to find their biological mother and get answers to what happened back then. What it was that led to them being adopted.

The officer says that she had just returned from maternity leave when she was called to a house where she found two malnourished girls. Those girls were Christina and Maria.

Tears well up in the twins as they listen to the story of themselves as children. Because it quickly becomes clear to them that the woman in front of them is one of the reasons they are alive.

The project to trace origins is being extended by a year. But the federal government and the cantons cannot reach an agreement.

For decades, Swiss couples adopted babies from abroad  - often under questionable and illegal circumstances. Now the Back to the Roots association can  temporarily continue to support those affected in their search for their origins in Sri Lanka.

Rosedale restaurateur Sash Simpson got a flood of memories on a visit to the Indian city of Chennai, where he’d been rescued from the streets as a barely school-age child and sent to Canada.

Only one thing was missing: his first language.

“The smells, the colour, the complete chaos, it gave me a flashback. It’s almost like a movie in my head,” says Simpson. He is in fact, the central figure of a movie, the Hot Docs feature Born Hungry, which debuts at the festival today (April 26).
