When Abhinash was one and a half years old, he had been kidnapped by an unidentified person while playing right outside his own house. This was on the 18th of February, 1999.

Yesterday, 20 years after that unfateful day, he met his birth parents for the first time. Abhinash is now 22-years-old and had been adopted by an US-based couple.

Speaking to The Hindu about the reunion with his birth parents, Abinash said:

I’m happy they are doing well. I was overwhelmed when I saw them for the first time...I enjoyed the food cooked by my birth mother. She cooks really well.

"When my wife was standing in the water, the man had just taken off Subhash in a minute," said Nageshwara Rao, who lost his one-and-a-half-year-old son in 1999.

He described their search, claiming that all was searched and could not find the child on the evening of the power outage.

We are not trying to have a baby. We have done everything from seeking the help of the police and the court, to visiting many temples, ”he says.

Born as Subash, Avinash was barely a year-and-half-old when he was kidnapped from his residence. Twenty-years-later he has come back home to teary-eyed parents.

A teary-eyed Sivagami couldn’t take her eyes off Avinash, her youngest son who visited their residence at Pulianthope in Chennai on Wednesday. This was the first time she saw her son in 20 years, as he was abducted and sold to an orphanage that did illegal adoptions in 1999.

Loved by all in the locality, Avinash was welcomed with a traditional aarti. Relatives and neighbours gathered in the cramped house to get a glimpse of the boy who went missing in February 1999.

Born as Subash, Avinash was barely a year-and-half-old when he was kidnapped from his residence. An unidentified man kidnapped Avinash and sold him to the now-defunct Malaysian Social Service. The orphanage was later shut down after investigations revealed that it had facilitated illegal adoptions of more than 300 kids stolen from poor families to foreign couples.

Sivagami and her husband Nageshwar Rao relentlessly pursued the search for their son. They sold their house to finance the investigation and tracked down every rumour they heard. After several years, a CBI investigation in the case tracked down Avinash living with an American family. With the help of Advocate Mohanavadivel, the couple was able to realise their dream of meeting their son.

??? Have you seen the child ....! ' - The father of a 20-year-old son who was abducted at the age of one and a half

I haven't gone to the 50-foot pipeline to get my samsara down. Someone tossed the green soil where the milk is not forgotten.

The boy, who went missing at the age of one and a half, has come to visit his parents 20 years later as a grown-up teenager. One such miracle happened in the life of Nageswara Rao and Sivakami, a resident of Puliyanthoppu, Chennai. We spoke to Nageswara.

“We can never forget the day when the child disappeared. On the 18th of February, 1999, Subhash went missing. That year, there was no water. Night will be 7 p.m. I haven't gone to the 50-foot pipeline to get my samsara down. Someone who has not forgotten its milky way, kakkatula lifted, wrapped the towel above. This is my brother. Look at the girl and tell my samsara. I knew I was in work, and I was running out of time. We are looking for over 400 people in the area. Point to point. We gave the police station compliant. Painfully. ”

Following him, Mohanavadivel, the lawyer who found the missing son, along with his parents, spoke.

For many Brazilians today, the dictatorship is seen as something to be commemorated. Rosângela's story must oblige us to never forget. Español

Rosângela Paraná felt a shiver surge through her body as she watched the protesters gather, their signs reading: “Congratulations, military. Thanks to you Brazil will never be Cuba”, or “There was no coup, only popular uprising”.

For Rosângela and many other Brazilians who were victims of the military dictatorship, especially the more than 20,000 victims of torture and family members of the 434 murdered or forced into dissappearance, the protests in favour of the dictatorship last Sunday are a chilling reminder that the ghosts of the past have yet to be appeased.

Paraná recounts her story, fearing what Brazil has become today: “I feel incomplete. Everything that happened to me was a product of human wickedness, and that’s terrifying”. She was kidnapped as a baby, and illegally adopted by a family with links to the military in 1963. Her adoptive father falsified her birth certificate and never revealed anything about her biological parents.

She is one of 19 cases that have recently come to light, due to the investigative work of Brazilian journalist, Eduardo Reina. His work tells of the kidnappings of babies and children of left-wing activists that were later adopted illegally by military families. Only now in 2019, 34 years after the fall of the dictatorship, these stories are becoming public knowledge..

As per court records, the girl’s adoptive father stated that he took in the daughter of the accused persons when she was 20 days old, and was “looking after the adopted child with all love and affection”.

A Delhi court has convicted a couple on allegations that they kidnapped their biological daughter when she was five years old from her adoptive parents. The girl told the court that she was beaten up by her adoptive parents and not provided food or education.

Metropolitan Magistrate Balwinder Singh, in his judgment, convicted her biological parents under sections of kidnapping and common intention of the IPC and observed, “Even if it is presumed that the contentions levelled by the accused persons that (their) daughter was ill-treated by the complainant (the girl’s adoptive father) are true, then also accused persons were expected to follow due course of law to take action against the complainant… and to get back custody of their daughter legally.”

The court added, “(Based on) failure on part of accused persons to prove that it was only for the purpose of treatment of the child, that too in good faith, the case of the complainant stands successfully proved against the accused persons beyond all reasonable doubt.”

Netherlands investigates 10,000 cases of forced adoptions

A mother denounces the State for forcing her to give up her son. The cases occurred between 1956 and 1984.

More than 10,000 Dutch teenagers and young people, all of them single mothers, were forced to leave their children for adoption between 1956 and 1984, pressured by their families and by the public bodies that attended them, whether they were shelters, Child Protection , social workers or doctors. One of them, Trudy Scheele-Gertsen, has filed the first complaint of its kind against the State for the pain caused.

Biological mothers and fathers in the same situation, but above all their children, belong to a generation that Eugénie Smits van Waesberghe, adopted in 1970, describes as "forgotten" in her own country. They seek justice, and they expect it from the Government, that on September 30 will open an investigation into what happened during the three decades indicated.

In 1956 the Adoption Law was passed in Holland. In 1984, the Abortion Law, and between both dates, “you could not fight
