Additional info about the history/documents (as far as I know - and I think you know at least part of this history as well):

· There were allegations by Preger, they landed at BIA office in NL as well as with the Ministry of Justice in NL.

· This was “researched”, in two parts:

o The Dutch parents were asked to write statements/reports about how the children ended up in proper families and were taken well care of. I believe that all the parents responded, all very worried about that poor man who had helped them so much with getting their beloved children, and who was now accused of such terrible things.

Every parent’s worst nightmare happened to an American couple a week ago in Kenya. Matt and Daisy Mazzoncini became the legal guardians to a three-year-old boy in April 2017 after he and his twin were abandoned in a plastic bag outside of a prayer center in Kiambu, run by a friend of Daisy Mazzoncini. After caring for him and paying for medical treatment, the couple was awarded joint legal guardianship.

On the night of Friday, April 5, eleven alleged DCI officers raided their home in Westlands and took the boy with no explanation or documentation. The couple still does not know where their son has been taken, and Americans are rallying behind them as they work to use habeas corpus to get the child back.

According to The Star, the real trouble began when the Mazzoncinis applied for adoption after they were told it may be possible to “get an exemption from the moratorium on adoption.” They had to do many interviews with the Child Welfare Society, where they were ultimately accused of child trafficking and creating false records to make it look like the child was sick. However, the boy had continuous epileptic seizures in September 2018 and was advised to go abroad for specialized treatment.

Right before they were due in children’s court to apply for permission to take him to the United States, a group of people dressed as government officials came and demanded to take the boy. After the abduction, the DCI sent out a tweet claiming responsibility for the kidnapping and credit for the boy’s “rescue.” The tweet has since been removed.

The DNA-MATCHING Association

Do you know your roots and do you know where you are from?

Our work and goal

The DNA matching association works to unite families and bring them together through DNA matching.

We have experience with Bangladesh which has been our first starting point for meeting families who have experienced that their child disappeared suddenly in the 1970s and 1980s. Many children in Bangladesh were adopted away to families in Europe at that time, and many adult adopters now miss their roots and biological families and do not know where to look.

TERRE DES HOMMES RESPONDS TO ADOPTION STORY IN TROUW

14/10/2017

In response to the article today in the Dutch national newspaper Trouw about the possible involvement of Terre des Hommes in illegal adoptions from Bangladesh in the seventies, Terre des Hommes wants to emphasise its appreciation for ex Terre des Hommes employees making their voices heard. Terre des Hommes is looking into the matter and is in contact with the adoptees.

Diffuse situation

Terre des Hommes appreciates that former employees as Elly and Mart van den Berg step forward to provide a better understanding of what happened concerning intercountry adoptions from Bangladesh forty years ago. Currently Terre des Hommes searches for all relevant information within the organisation that can provide clarification about the diffuse period back then.

THE HAGUE (AFP) - A Dutch doctor at the centre of an IVF scandal fathered at least 49 children, an organisation representing parents and children born through his now-closed clinic said on Friday (April 12).

Jan Karbaat, who died in 2017, is the father of 49 children born after women visited his Rotterdam clinic where he used his own sperm instead of sperm from a chosen donor to inseminate them, Defence for Children said.

Results of DNA tests conducted on Friday at a hospital in the southeastern city of Nijmegen "showed that 49 children in the case are direct descendants of the late Karbaat," the organisation said in a statement.

"The results confirm serious suspicions that Karbaat used his own sperm at his clinic," Defence for Children added.

The controversial case became public after a Dutch court ruled in February that the results of Karbaat's DNA test should be made available to parents and children to conduct their own comparisons.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (KNWA)-- Around Arkansas, certain adoptions could now be criminalized as human trafficking thanks to a bill heading to the Governor's desk.

This bill aims at helping expecting moms and stop adoption crimes from happening right here in Northwest Arkansas.

An attorney in Rogers says he's personally worked with women who have been taken advantage of through the adoption process and fell target to empty threats of jail time and deportation if they didn't cooperate.

"It's a tough road to walk along when you have no support," said Michaela Montie, the Executive Director of the non-profit Shared Beginnings.

Montie is the mother of three adopted children.

European knowledge center Aftercare Adoption in Venray

The Nazorg Adoptie association wants to establish a European knowledge center in Venray that will deal with help to adopters, adoptive parents and distance parents. On Friday, June 21, an international symposium on follow-up care at adoption takes place in Venray. The Dutch association has a strong Venray interpretation: the chair is Anne-Marie Goossens from Venray, one of the board members is Puk Heijnen-Poels from Oostrum. Both have been adopted.

For adopters (nationally and internationally), adoptive parents and distance parents, much is regulated by law when it comes to the preliminary process to come to an adoption. However, after the actual adoption has taken place, the support and guidance will lapse. "Nothing has been regulated by law how it will go with the adopted children and their adoptive parents once they have been 'placed'," explains Anne-Marie Goossens. "In short, there is no statutory aftercare for adopted persons and their adoptive parents. Practical and scientific research shows that there is a great need for regulated aftercare. A disproportionately large number of adopted persons, adoptive parents and distance parents rely on assistance. Adopted persons have assistance. four to five times more often than not adopted residential care needed. "

De Nederlandse vereniging heeft een sterke Venrayse invulling: voorzitter is Anne-Marie Goossens uit Venray, één van de bestuursleden is Puk Heijnen-Poels uit Oostrum. Beiden zijn geadopteerd.

Children in the care system could struggle to provide evidence they need to remain in the UK once Britain leaves the EU.

Thousands of EU children living in foster care in the UK should be given automatic British citizenship to avoid becoming the new Windrush generation, say a leading children's charity.

Coram, a legal children's centre specialising in adoption and fostering services, has warned that thousands of children risk being left undocumented when the UK leaves the European Union because they are unaware of the EU settlement scheme or find it too complicated.

The government has launched an online settlement application which all EU nationals must complete in order to remain in the UK and be able to work, access healthcare and education.

But Coram's childcare lawyer, Alexandra Conroy-Harris, told Sky News that many children in the care system will struggle to provide the evidence they need to remain in the UK.
