PUNE: The Bund Garden police (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Bund-Garden-police) on Friday booked the parents of

a two-month-old baby girl for abandoning her beneath the water tank on the premises of the Sassoon General Hospital.

Sub-inspector R A Godse (https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/topic/Sub-inspector-R-A-Godse) of the Bund Garden police said,

“Some visitors and security guards spotted a baby girl lying beneath the water tank of the hospital on November 4. They

alerted the police soon after. We waited for a few days, thinking that her parents would visit the hospital in search of her. We

YEREVAN—Armenia’s top intelligence agency—the National Security Service (NSS)—has launched a criminal investigation into reports of illegal international adoptions which allegedly took place between 2016 and 2018.

An NSS press release dated November 14 reveals that “two Armenian citizens used their connections at several government maternity hospitals and orphanages to organize the adoption of at least 30 infants” by families in Italy as well as the United States in what constitutes “a gross violation of Armenian law.”

This revelation, though shocking, was short on details, leading to the spread of macabre rumors concerning organ harvesting. Taking questions from journalists, Security Council Secretary Armen Grigoryan commented on these concerns. “No word at the moment on any organ trafficking, but we will keep you updated,” he replied.

According to the NSS, between 2016 and 2018, medical staff convinced “at least a dozen women” seeking pregnancy terminations “for social or health reasons” to carry to term in exchange for bribes. These women were then allegedly instructed to exaggerate their newborns’ intellectual or physical disabilities and provide written consent to transfer them to orphanages with the appropriate documentation. The alleged ringleaders would then financially benefit from putting these children up for international adoption. The NSS did not provide any details on the families who later adopted these children, nor the status of the children themselves. It remains unclear whether the foster applicants were aware of, or willingly participated in, the alleged scheme. Radio Free Europe reports that 54 children were officially adopted by foreign foster parents during that time frame.

Armenia, along with other former Soviet states, has seen an increase in international adoptions following the breakup of the Soviet Union. Russia was once the second largest source of international adoptions until the practice was banned in 2012, though Ukraine still ranks in the top five. Most of these children have been adopted by families in the West with the United States, Spain, France, Italy, Canada, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Denmark and Australia being the most common destinations. Evangelical Christians, in particular, have been known to adopt children with disabilities or girls from countries where these traits would otherwise cause social exclusion. Unsurprisingly this demand has unwittingly propelled a sort of black market for orphans in their countries of origin.

He gave his child up for adoption. After 22 years, the shock followed. Where did he find his son

When she signed the documents, the young woman checked the "open file" option. That meant leaving his details and agreeing that if the child ever wanted to know who his mother was, he could be contacted.

In a few weeks, the boy was kidnapped. The adoptive parents named him "Steve".

Time has passed and when he was 18, Steve decided it was time to look for his natural mother. Despite the efforts, the search yielded no results. However, the boy never lost hope.

In 2007, however, Steve realized that, all this time, he made one major mistake! While searching for his natural mother's name on Google, he typed it wrong. At the time, Steve was 20 years old and was employed as a driver at a grocery store in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

VADODARA: “For I know the plans I have for you. Plans to prosper you, to give you hope and a future, declares the Lord” —

reads Jeremiah 29:11. This couldn’t have been more truer but for a six-year-old orphan, Krupali, who till now had the sishu gruh

in Vadodara as her home.

The girl child began a new chapter in her life in the New Year when she was adopted by an Italian couple. Krupali, who

authorities said, is a slow learner was shown photographs of her new home in Italy, where all the family members including grandparents were eagerly waiting to welcome the newest member.

Kozhikode: Seek and you shall find! A young Italian woman of Indian

years ago soon after she was born.

"They just sold us"

"Adopt a child from abroad", they said, "Then you can give it a better life". Thousands of children from Indonesia found their way to the Netherlands, but they were simply stolen and sold. The Dutch government knew about it. Dewi Deijle was one of those children and has written a book about this issue: "Postpackages from Overseas".

"Ze hebben ons gewoon verkocht".

''Adopteer een kindje uit het buitenland", zeiden ze, "Dan kun je het een beter leven geven". Duizenden kinderen uit Indonesië vonden hun weg naar Nederland, maar ze waren gewoon gestolen en verkocht. De Nederlandse overheid wist ervan. Dewi Deijle was èèn van die kinderen en heeft een boek geschreven over deze kwestie: "Postpakketjes van Overzee".

HIV-positive parents sold the 22-day son to a couple for ?1.1 lakh

A 22-day-old boy child was sold by its HIV-positive and poverty-stricken parents at Manapparai in Tiruchi district recently.

The Tiruchi Rural Police have arrested three persons — an intermediary and the couple who had bought the child, paying ?1.35 lakh.

The action was initiated based on a complaint preferred by the District Child Protection Officer to the Manapparai police station on Thursday.

The incident came to light when the baby was admitted to the Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Government Hospital in Tiruchi with fever on Wednesday. According to hospital sources, the baby was found to be “critically underweight” and the “mother” was asked to breastfeed the infant. “But the mother said she could not. When coaxed, she divulged that the baby was not hers. They could not produce documents for adoption too. Hence, the matter was reported to the Childline,” a medical officer said.
