The stories of parents, children and others involved who have reported to the 'Remote and Adoption Application Point' are not properly stored securely at the Ministry of Security and Justice. There has been a data breach and hundreds of conversation reports will be destroyed.

A report has been made to the Dutch Data Protection Authority. This is evident from answers to parliamentary questions from D66 MP Vera Bergkamp.

“Embarrassing”, says Bergkamp about the course of events. “I really don't understand how a research that is so sensitive can be shaped in such a way. When I read that interview reports are circulating at the ministry - the ministry that is actually responsible for privacy - and that there is a lot of catching up to do now that reports have to be submitted again to people who have been interviewed, I really wonder: how could this going so carelessly? ”

The Verwey-Jonker Institute is currently conducting research into distance and adoption between 1956 and 1984. During that period, thousands of women gave up their children, often under great pressure. Some say they have been forced now, decades later. The Remote and Adoption Application Point was opened at the start of the investigation, to give everyone the opportunity to tell their story. More than 670 people have now called that registration point.

The answers to parliamentary questions show that the reports of the conversations held at the hotline were not only sent - anonymously - to the researchers at the Verwey-Jonker Institute, but also to the ministry. That is now going to destroy all records. It is not clear whether those documents are still with the Verwey-Jonker Institute (VJI). In his answers, Minister Sander Dekker writes: “Until now, VJI only keeps the interview reports of those applicants who have been selected for an in-depth interview. From now on, the VJI will keep all interview reports of the registrations and the reports of the in-depth interviews in a secure manner until the completion of the investigation. ”

Back in 1991, when China passed its first stand-alone adoption law, state-run orphanages routinely gave foundlings the surnames “Dang” (meaning Party) or “Guo” (meaning Country). These unusual names marked children for life and were meant to. That way foundlings would not forget what they owed the Communist Party. Such names were banned in all orphanages only in 2012.

It is a mark of how China has changed that its first-ever Civil Code, a fat volume of laws covering everything from marriage to property rights, approved on May 28th, revises adoption rules to make it easier for children to be raised in private homes. A big change eliminates the rule that—except in special cases, for instance involving adoptions of disabled children from orphanages—only childless Chinese may adopt. From next year, the childless will be allowed to adopt two children, whereas parents with one biological child may adopt another. Those changes reflect a broader easing of laws that, from 1980 to 2016, restricted most urban families to a single child. A further amendment raises the maximum age for being adopted from 14 to 18.

“It was always my goal to be able to have a boy,” wrote Dennis S. in a chat. “Pictures don't replace a boy.” The 38-year-old from Berlin-Hellersdorf had his child carried by a surrogate mother in Cyprus. Now he faces long imprisonment. Because the prosecution assumes that the “acquisition” of a child should specifically serve to “act out the pedophile inclination ”.

Dennis S. stared at the floor as the defense attorney supplemented his testimony in the district court on Tuesday. There was talk of a great "desire for children", for which the homosexual man had sought a way to fulfill. Since surrogacy is forbidden in Germany, he went abroad.

After the birth in August 2016, there was a court hearing in Cyprus. "The surrogate mother waived custody," said the defense attorney. What he paid and where he got the money from remained open.

The Father's Outrageous Motive: Child Abuse. Dennis S. filmed sexual assault on Finn (name changed). 16 cases from June to October 2019 are charged. The boy is two years old when he first acts.

How could Dennis S., a bachelor, bring the boy to Berlin? "Tricky", they say. An employee of the Marzahn-Hellersdorf youth welfare office said that S. had reported about a woman. You left him for another partner in Russia. He was given the choice - "Abortion or I'll take the child". With valid papers, he traveled to Berlin with the baby in October 2016.

When Mugalu* was adopted, his birth family says they were told they would still be able to speak to him regularly and he would come back for visits. “They said we would be one big happy family,” says his mother, Sylvia, wiping away tears.

But Sylvia, 40, has not seen her son since he was adopted from Uganda almost seven years ago by an American couple. She is now fighting to get her son back, taking her case to the high court in Uganda and exploring her legal options in the US.

Mugalu’s adoption was arranged through an organisation called Amani Ya Zion, which claimed to be a non-profit that “raises orphans and disregarded Ugandans to be leaders through true self sustainability”, in Kampala.

Sylvia’s family say they were led to believe by Amani Ya Zion that Mugalu, who was five at the time, was going to the US to get a better education, and would be in the care of a couple from Louisiana.

“They [Amani Ya Zion] said we were blessed to have this chance,” adds Sylvia, who works for a telecoms company, and lives in Kampala with her husband, Alex, and their toddler, Lenz.

THOOTHUKUDI: District Child Protection Unit decided to hand over a toddler rescued in an illegal child adoption case here, to their counterparts in Nagapattinam after the father was arrested for being involved.

Earlier, Ashraf lodged a complaint with Madurai Collector TG Vinay against his friend Hassan Mohammed alleging that he sold his three-year-old girl illegally to a Thoothukudi-based couple.

Thoothukudi Child protection Unit rescued the toddler from the couple and shifted her to Muthukuviyal, a government authorised child home in the district.

Meanwhile, Nagore police investigated Ashraf, who spilled the beans. The investigation revealed that Ashraf was one of the mediators in the case, and that there was a brawl following the money share.

Sources said that there were two more mediators -- Fatima and Kamaru Nisha. It is also said that Ashraf has sold his another daughter to a couple in Kumbakonam.

Even before she was married, Kavita Baluni Kaktwan knew she wanted to be a mother to a baby girl. But this child would not be a biological one. She wanted to adopt and give her a home and all the joy in the world.

When four-year-old Veda Baluni Kaktwan’s parents got married in 2012, little did they know that she would change their lives, and make them “the happiest parents in the world”. In 2017, when she entered their lives at 16 months of age, Veda made them the first Indian couple to have adopted a baby with Down syndrome. Three years later, as the family celebrates the adoption anniversary on May 30, Kavita talks to indianexpress.com about the journey.

“Adoption was a dream of mine, ever since I was a teenager. I was not interested in having a biological child. This is something I had told my husband before marriage. He was always a feminist, and I knew it when I met him through an arranged marriage setup that we are not going to be an ordinary couple and there is a reason that we have met. When I told him of my plans, he asked for three days to process it. And then he said there is absolutely nothing wrong with the plan; he was game. He said when we do adopt a child in the future, it was going to be a baby girl,” recalls the Ghaziabad resident.

Ludhiana: A biological mother of a baby boy has filed a complaint against the family who “adopted” her child by “paying”

money, asking them to return it, district child welfare officer of Nawanshahar has maintained that it will be the court which will

take decision on the legality of adoption process.

Meanwhile, the baby remains with the adopted parents as the child welfare committee (CWC) has declared them fit to keep the

baby till the matter is decided.

As a national organization, how do you make the transition from providing assistance to sharing knowledge? And how do you ensure that the help to your target group is properly adopted? Fiom had to make this rigorous change and did so in collaboration with Movisie.

Fiom has been a specialist in unwanted pregnancy and parentage questions since 1930. When it comes to women who are unplanned pregnant, the organization is all about ensuring that women can make informed choices about their future. 'We guide these women through decision aids. Regardless of whether they ultimately choose to terminate the pregnancy, raise the child themselves, give it up for adoption or foster placement. The point is that they can make a choice that will allow them to move on in their lives, 'says Ellen Giepmans, director of Fiom.

Cut back on subsidy

In 2013, the Ministry of Health, Welfare and Sport made significant cuts to the subsidy to Fiom. 'We have gone from a subsidy of 5 million euros to 2 million euros,' says Giepmans. 'The decentralization of aid was the main reason for this. Every year, we coached about two thousand women in their selection process. This aid had to be turned over to local contractors. At the same time, Fiom was also commissioned by VWS to develop primarily as a knowledge organization. As a result, the emphasis was mainly on sharing expertise with professionals by making information available in databases, providing training and advice. Fiom was able to make this change in the following three years. The organization asked Movisie to collaborate in this process. 'Especially because Movisie has a lot of knowledge of the local social domain. We wanted to set up training courses to guarantee Fiom's knowledge to ensure that this specialist care provision runs smoothly locally. Something Movisie has a lot of experience in, 'says Giepmans.
