Virudhunagar: Police arrested six people including a doctor couple here on Monday evening in connection with the illegal adoption of a baby by a couple three years ago apparently without the knowledge of its biological mother. The matter came out in the open after the woman’s mother who was also part of the crime spilled the beans to her recently.

According to sources, 20-year-old Selvi (name changed) is a resident of a village near Aruppukottai in the district. Selvi fell in love with a person called Narayanan (name changed) when she was a minor girl and became pregnant. When Selvi’s mother Muthulakshmi came to know about it, she admitted her to a private hospital at Kallorani.

Even though Selvi gave birth to a baby boy, the doctor, Vino Dhamayandhi (49), and her husband Vadivelmurugan (51), who is also a doctor, convinced Muthulakshmi to give away the baby in adoption to a couple, Jeyaraj (39) and Shanmugapriya (31), residents of Aruppukottai. A hospital staffer, Kulandhai, was also involved in the incident. When Selvi asked about her baby, Muthulakshmi said it had died. Later, Selvi got married to Narayanan and she gave birth to a girl child in 2017. Recently, when Selvi was feeling depressed and crying over not having a male heir, Muthulakshmi revealed that she had given birth to a male baby in 2016 and that the doctors had given it away in adoption. Angered over this, Selvi and Narayanan went to the hospital and picked up a quarrel with the doctor couple who in turn asked them to inquire with her mother Muthulakshmi.

Au fost infiati de parinti straini, dar nu au ajuns niciodata la ei. 33 de copii romani care au primit sentinta definitiva de adoptie internationala au ramas in tara. Pina in prezent, autoritatile confirma ca, in cel putin doua dintre cazuri, in locul lor au fost trimisi alti copii.

Gemma Givens was adopted from Guatemala in 1990 when she was 4 months old. As Gemma grew older, she began to feel a deep emptiness. “I felt like I was foundationless, or that I was floating, or I was a ghost, or I was a genetic isolate, which, in a way, I was,” Gemma says. It would lead her to Guatemala, where her search for her birth mother would reveal the corrupt business of intercountry adoption and inspire Gemma to create an international community of Guatemalan adoptees, Next Generation Guatemala.

Now, at 28, Gemma manages the Host Family Program UC Berkeley’s International House. Gemma says working with students, who are from all different countries, speak different languages and practice different faiths, has helped her to become a better leader for her community of Next Generation Guatemalans.

Read a transcript of Fiat Vox episode #57: “Staffer’s search for birth mom reveals dark history of Guatemalan adoption”:

Gemma Givens: I think adoption was sort of like, “This is your life: privilege and education and things that wouldn’t have been available to me in the same way in Guatemala.” But that, “What’s done is done. This is it.”

Yanien was abducted as a child and adopted: "I am signed for life"

Yanien (49), mother of three daughters and married to Johan (49) was abducted from her native Indonesia as a 9-year-old girl and sold for adoption to a Dutch family. "I will never be able to accept what has been done to me."

Yanien: “My first memories are from when I was six or seven years old. I lived with my four brothers and our parents in a small, elongated house in a neighborhood where poor and rich lived together. My father was a civil servant. We didn't have a lot of money, but we got along well. We didn't know any better. But then my father died in a motorcycle accident. I can still see his body lying under a white sheet on the floor of our house. We were not allowed to cry from our faith, so that his spirit can find its way to heaven. My mother held me, I didn't understand. "

Crisis time

“A crisis time arrived. My mother had a hard time losing my father. She couldn't possibly take care of five children and work at the same time, so that's why I was taken to my grandparents with one brother. My oldest brother was with my aunt and the second oldest brother stayed with my mother with my younger brother. I had lost my safe haven. Later I lived with my uncle and aunt for a while and I went to school there. I missed my mother and brothers terribly. When I was about nine years old, I came home to look after my two younger brothers while my mother was working. I didn't go to school anymore because there was no more money, but I was already happy that we were together again. ”

Filmmaker Vinod Kapri and his wife Sakshi Joshi have filed an FIR against the journalist Abhishek Upadhyay who had accused the couple of using tragedy of a new born child to promote himself and his movie.

In the FIR filed on 13th July, Sakshi has accused Abhishek of writing a Facebook post alleging that he has indulged in her character assassination.

In his post, without naming anyone, Abhishek had written a story about a lady who marries an old divorced man through manipulation. In her FIR, Sakshi has claimed that the above story refers to her.

As per the FIR, she deduced that the post was about her when someone commented on the Facebook post with her and her husband filmmaker Vinod Kapri’s name and Upadhyay ‘liked’ that comment. She even alleges in her FIR that Upadhyay not only wrote the above post to defame her and Kapri and asked people to share the above post via WhatsApp but also asked people to walk up to the couple and spit on them.

SOS: Infamous orphanages in Eastern Europe soon to be largely closed

Sofia / Munich (ots) - According to information from the SOS Children's Villages, Eastern Europe is closing its notorious orphanages. For a long time homes were the epitome of neglect and inhumane conditions. "In the meantime, all countries are closing state homes," says Maria Dantcheva, Program Development Manager for the SOS Children's Villages for Eastern Europe. For example, in Romania, nearly 100,000 boys and girls lived in orphanages in 2000, and today there are only about 6,600. In Bulgaria, too, the number of children in state homes has fallen from 7587 in 2009 to 979 in 2017. By 2025 all homes should be closed.

The SOS Children's Villages are decisively involved in the processes in 19 countries in Eastern and Central Europe, says Maria Dantcheva. "For many years, we have been the only ones offering family-oriented care for children in need in many places, and now we support governments with our know-how: we are involved in the development of laws and child protection systems and help build foster parent networks . " The organization is also active in Kazakhstan. The local SOS Children's Village Almaty will soon accommodate 30 to 40 boys and girls from a closing children's home. Under the name "Open Doors", SOS has partnered with four other aid agencies to promote the closure of orphanages by providing data, education and political work.\

Instead of being in state homes, the children will in future be raised by foster families, small groups or relatives. Also, families should be stabilized in crises so that as many children as possible can stay with their parents.
