The Adoption Authority of Ireland has been granted an order dismissing proceedings brought by a woman whose child was adopted in 1980. The woman was 16 at the time and submitted that the circumstances surrounding the adoption of her daughter entailed a breach of her rights.

Granting the order to dismiss the proceedings, Mr Justice Garrett Simons said that since the principal witnesses to events were either deceased or unable to recollect the events, there was a real and serious risk of an unfair trial.

Background

In 1979, Patricia Breaden went to the Catholic Protection and Rescue Society of Ireland (now known as Cúnamh, the first named defendant) seeking advice in relation to her pregnancy. Ms Breaden submitted that she only learnt that this was an adoption service at a subsequent visit.

In July 1979, Ms Breaden, who was then sixteen-years-old, gave birth to a daughter.

Girl three weeks after adoption to foster family

A couple who had adopted a 2-year-old girl from China placed the girl with a foster family 3 weeks after her arrival in the Netherlands, without reporting this to the adoption organization or other organizations involved in the adoption.

The girl and one of the adoptive parents could not get along. 'The child constantly rejected this adoptive parent. This parent could not handle this. They saw no other way out than to place the child in a foster home, "the Youth Care Inspectorate writes in a report on this case.

The girl was adopted in August 2011. Only in February 2012 was the Child and Future Foundation, the organization that mediated in the adoption, informed of the failed adoption. This happened after the foster parents had requested extra support from the Youth Care Agency.

According to a spokesperson for the inspection, it is the first time that a case such as this has been reported. The spokesperson said that the authorities did not know that the child was no longer living with the adoptive parents 'very bad'. The adoptive parents deliberately did not inform the various authorities that the adoption had failed because they were afraid that the Child Protection Board would be called in and the child would be moved from one home or foster home to another.

"The day Avnish came home, it was like sunshine walked into my life," says Aditya Tiwari

A heartfelt post shared on the popular Facebook page 'Humans of Bombay' has gone massively viral online. The post tells the story of Aditya Tiwari, an Indore man who, in 2016, became the youngest single man in India to adopt a child. It details his long struggle and what motivated him to keep going in his attempts to adopt Avnish - a boy with Down Syndrome.

"About 5 years back, when it was my father's birthday, I went to an orphanage to distribute sweets...that's when I saw Avnish for the first time," Mr Tiwari tells 'Humans of Bombay'.

At that time, Avnish was five-months-old and lying in a corner with nobody paying attention to him.

"I couldn't help myself, so I went and picked him up - he laughed, and we just clicked," says Mr Tiwari, describing the moment that would lead to a long struggle in which he exposed orphanage malpractices before ultimately succeeding in adopting Avnish.

Tourists volunteering in Cambodian orphanages may be unwittingly fuelling an industry that exploits children for profit.

After emerging from more than two decades of war in the 1990s, Cambodia has relied heavily on tourism to rebuild its economy.

It is one of the top destinations for young travellers, many of whom sign up with global volunteering companies.

'Voluntourists', however, may be unwittingly fuelling the exploitation of children in poorly regulated orphanages.

Reports of child neglect and appalling living conditions, as well as stories of orphanage directors embezzling donor money, have emerged.

The baby trafficking and the little reliability of the data

The difficulty that many nationals have to know their origin is not due to a chance of destiny, but to a dark time in our history that has its consequences until today. As an inheritance of this sad chapter, there is little or no reliability of the documentation generated at that time.

At the end of the 80's, the "bebetráfico" was installed in our country, which reached its highest point in the 90s. In the hands of international adoptions, the noble figure of adoption practically became a ruthless trade. Gradually, the reports of robberies of creatures of maternity homes, houses and on public roads became constant.

This sad fame transcended the border and in February 1996, was embodied in the American newspaper Pioneer Press, under the title "The route of the traffic of creatures."

“Smiling Minnesota couples arrive regularly at the Minneapolis International Airport, St. Paul, carrying sparkling creatures in their arms. It is the final stage of the adoption mechanism that begins in Paraguay, a poor country, but rich in one aspect: the burgeoning international baby trade, ”the note in question began.

Draft Law to Improve Family Support in Adoption (Adoption Aid Act)

On 13 September 2019, the Federal Ministry for Family Affairs, Senior Citizens, Women and Youth initiated the participation of countries and associations in the draft bill for the Adoption Aid Act.

The Adoption Aid Act is intended to implement the Coalition Agreement by modernizing the adoption system and improving the structures of adoption brokerage. The bill is based on the findings of the Adoption research and expertise process, which were won during the last legislative period.

The aim of the draft is to promote the success of adoptions and thus to ensure the well-being of the children. This includes professional support by specialized professionals before, during and after adoption. For this purpose, a legal entitlement to follow-up assistance should be introduced for all those involved in an adoption, and compulsory counseling should be introduced before submitting notarial certifications for stepchild adoption options.

Open treatment of adoption should be encouraged
