Arib wants clarity on adoption from Ethiopia

11 January, oral questions - Fake adoption papers and parents who under false pretentions relinquish their children. Arib (PvdA) aks clarity about these 'horrible' adoption practices in Ethiopia. According to minister Opstelten (Justice) there is no reason to interfere: "Each signal of child trafficking is reason for investigation."

Parents in Ethiopia get the promiss that their children will get a good future and come back when they are 18 year. The Brandpunt-broadcast of 9 January reported on adoption practices in Ethiopia. That is child trafficking under the pretext of adoption, means Arib. If it were up to her, minister Opstelten should investigate into such practices. But for the minister there is no reason to reconsider the adoption relation between the Netherlands and Ethiopia, as extra measures have been taken.

Dutchman meets biological father in Mumbai

Sep 21, 2013, 05.05AM IST TNN[ Stanley Pinto ]

MANGALORE: India-born Dutch national Martijn Boerkamp met his biological father in Mumbai on Wednesday. And the meeting went well.

Against Child Trafficking (ACT) consultant Anjali Pawar who did the ground work for the reunion said: "In fact, Martijn's father said it was a really pleasant surprise, more so because it came with another surprise package, a daughter-in-law.''

"Meeting Martijn may have been surprising for his biological father, but it was gratifying for me since he accepted everything gracefully. Martijn's father said he was just 14 years old when he was in a relationship and was sent to the Middle East immediately by his family to discourage the relationship. When he came back during his vacation, he tried hard to find out about her, but was prevented by his mother. Even now his mother and aunt put up considerable resistance for the meeting between him and Martijn," Anjali said.

Adoption in legislation and programs, from the Netherlands to Sweden and Sri Lanka

Biologist fights data about birth in primitive cultures

International adoption and everything that goes with it remains good for a stream of newspaper, magazine and book publications, ranging from spicy scientific studies to problems with growing adoptive children to popularly written stories along the lines of "How did we get our child?" A number of these books are now discussed here.

We start with the study "Adoption children at home and at school". This is about the integration after eight years of 116 children from Thailand into Dutch society. The compilers of this study result are F. Juffer, B. C. Waardenburg and Prof. R. A. C. Hoksbergen. They are all connected to the Adoption Center in the Faculty of Social Sciences at Utrecht University. The report of the somewhat older research was published by Swets and Zeitlinger in Lisse. Chairmanship SATURDAY 21 JANUARY 1189 dr. R. Deibel of BIA / Wereldkinderen introduces the book.

Growing number of applications from families with their own children

many books about intercountry adoption

APELDOORN - The more so-called "intercountry adoption" is gaining ground in the Netherlands, partly due to a somewhat more flexible admission policy of our government, the more unclear this issue appears to be and becomes unclear. children's books about and for adoptive children from Africa and the whole of the third world and popular brochures etc. for those who think they have good reasons to include one or more foreign adoptive children in their family, whether or not they are childless.

I have found that the practice of intercountry adoption entails so many problems that many are deterred by the complex and lengthy procedures, certainly those who are not so familiar with civil service and judicial hairdoing through education or occupation. In itself, these correct procedures must of course offer all possible - and sometimes even impossible - guarantees to the adoptive parents and (in the first place) to the child to be adopted. But it is not easy, certainly not for the often blamed "self-doers", to find the right and most importantly shortest route.

Information

Report meeting Wereldkinderen ..

During the summer I was approached by a Master's student in Educational Sciences at Leiden University. In collaboration with, among others. Wereldkinderen Foundation hoped to learn more about intercountry adoption in the Netherlands. Her aim was, as a neutral third party, to gather information about the context of intercountry adoption in Bangladesh in the 70s and 80s. This student wanted to try to gather a wide range of opinions and stories from different sources.

Through my blogs that I wrote about Bangladesh and adoption, she ended up with me. She told me that she had read my blogs with great pleasure. She wanted to hear my story and ask me questions and if she could use some information from me. Upon hearing that she did this in collaboration with Wereldkinderen, I became a bit skeptical. World children were not so popular with many adoptees and I also had my thing with Wereldkinderen. She asked if I knew more people who wanted to work with this. I would look for her. But not everyone was jumping to give his / her cooperation. She was sorry, but after I explained why, she understood.

The invitation for a meeting follows. I did not know they also gave them a meeting for this. Wereldkinderen wanted to invite all adoptees from Bangladesh to present their findings they had made in recent months. Which findings? And what do they have for something new that we do not yet know? I would go. Later I doubted, also because world children were vague about this meeting. And it was not next door.

After I had spoken to the student last Monday, I decided to go to the meeting on Wednesday 27 November. With the knowledge that nothing will be new. But yes, the miracles are not yet out of the world! After a journey of 2.5 hours I arrive at Wereldkinderen in Den haag. I thought I would see black of the Bengal who had all come to this meeting. But unfortunately, I only saw 7 brown heads, while we really are with the 500 .. the turnout was therefore very special.
