Now Chilean authorities are to help the families who were separated as a result of international adoptions in the 70s and 80s and who today want to be reunited.

It was announced by the Minister of Justice, Luis Cordero Vega, during a conference in Santiago this weekend.

Since 2018, there has been a criminal investigation in Chile about the suspected irregularities that occurred in connection with the country's adoptions.

Two women have been charged with first-degree murder in the death of a 12-year-old boy in Burlington and for allegedly assaulting and confining a younger brother, both of whom they were in the process of adopting.

In a news release Friday, Halton police said the charges were laid following a “lengthy investigation” into the death of the boy, who has been described as Indigenous, more than a year ago.

Const. Ryan Anderson said that on Dec. 21, 2022, at around 7:26 p.m., police and other emergency services were called to a home in the New Street and Guelph Line area for a child without vital signs.

Police said they found a 12-year-old boy dead inside the home.

Police would not answer questions about cause of death, or when the death was deemed a homicide, because the case is before the courts.

Before bringing home daughter Autumn as a newborn in October 2014, adoptive mom Jessica had no clue about black hair care. 

She’s not alone: The rise of transracial parenting, meaning a child of one racial or ethnic group is placed with adoptive parents of a different racial makeup, has exposed an unfortunate knowledge gap that experts say can be emotionally detrimental to the children.

Jessica and her husband had read all the books on adoption, gone through intense home-study visits and sat for countless pre-parenting interviews. 

But, still, the brunette of northern European descent was totally unhip to the do’s and don’ts of nurturing the tremendous thickness of the tot’s tuft. 

“By the time she turned age 1, I knew I needed help,” Jessica, 53, a sales executive from northern New Jersey, told The Post.

Hazaribag (Jharkhand), Mar 1 (PTI) A US-based couple has adopted an eight-month-old girl who was found abandoned in a dustbin in Jharkhand's Hazaribag town in June 2023, a senior district official said on Friday.
    On June 16 last year, some youths found the newborn crying and informed the district administration and Korra police station.
    Deputy Development Commissioner of Hazaribag, Prerena Dikshit, along with officer-in-charge of Korra police station Uttam Kumar Tiwari, recovered the child and transferred her to the newborn ward of Sheikh Bikhari Medical College and Hospital, Hazaribag.
    Dikshit, who also served as the administrator of Sheikh Bihari Medical College and Hospital, directed the hospital superintendent and other doctors to provide care for the baby.
    Upon full recovery, she was handed over to the Child Welfare Department of Hazaribag, said Dikshit.
    Once the child was fully recovered, the Child Welfare Department informed higher authorities, including the Central Adoption Resource Authority, which issued an adoption notice through its portal.
    Subsequently, the authorities of the Child Welfare Committee began searching for the biological parents of the abandoned child, but did not succeed. As per the rules, anyone can adopt the child after 60 days from the issuance of the notice.
    An American couple has now agreed to adopt the child, who is currently eight months old.
    Following the rehabilitation of the child by the American couple on Thursday, Dikshit expressed satisfaction and thanked the couple for adopting the kid. COR BS MNB

On a hot summer day in June 2010, two Indian children upset with their parents for hitting them left home.

The siblings - 11-year-old Rakhi and seven-year-old Bablu - planned to go to their maternal grandparents who lived just a kilometre away. But a few wrong turns and they were lost.

It's taken them more than 13 years to find their way back - with a lot of help from a child rights activist - to their mother Neetu Kumari.

"I missed my mother every single day," Bablu who grew up in orphanages told me on the phone. "I'm very happy now that I'm back with my family."

Video footage of their reunion at the end of December shows Neetu sobbing as she welcomes Bablu home, embracing him tightly and thanking god for "giving me the joy of holding my son again".

Corruption and delayed investigations are impeding the adoption process for children from Ugandan children’s homes, according to concerns uncovered by The Observer. Presently, Uganda hosts 109 children’s homes across the country, with a significant concentration in the Central region.

These homes must obtain approval from the minister of Gender, specifically the official responsible for children’s welfare and protection, before operation. Despite an estimated 3.5 million abandoned and impoverished children in Uganda, only 9,700 reside in approved homes.
