She fainted from shock when she learned that her son had been adopted to Norway, the South Korean woman wrote to the Ministry of Children and Families. When she did not get an answer, she traveled to Norway.

It was in 2005 that the woman wrote an email to the ministry:

"Please let me - a poor woman living in a life full of tears and regrets - live."

In the email, the 45-year-old woman told how she was forced to divorce her husband.

She thought she was doing the best for her son, by letting him live with his biological father and his family, she writes.

A seven-judge Supreme Court has unanimously upheld a decision that the adoption of a teenage girl by her foster mother, against the wishes of her birth mother, is correct.

It followed a majority decision of the Court of Appeal (COA) overturning a June 2022 High Court judgment that found the adoption of the girl, who was 17 at the time, would not serve her best interests.

The girl, who is now a young woman and referred to as Ms B, was born with foetal alcohol syndrome with associated global development delay and a moderate general learning disability.

This syndrome was due to her birth mother drinking alcohol to excess during the first trimester of her pregnancy in order to cope with emotional, physical and sexual abuse by her husband, and not knowing she was pregnant at the time.

The High Court’s Mr Justice Max Barrett had said that, while Ms B indicated a desire to be adopted by her foster mother, who she referred to as “mum”, he was “not entirely persuaded” she fully understood the significance of adoption.

FRANKSVILLE, Wis. (CBS 58) -- On a sunny Wednesday afternoon, Josue Gonzalez, 11, Darwin Gonzalez, 9, and Abraham Gonzalez, 6, happily kick around a soccer ball in a Franksville playground. 

But this simple trip to the park has been more than two years in the making. 

The three brothers spent the last five years living in an orphanage in Ecuador. 

Little did they know, their home would soon be found in Wisconsin.

“When we first found out that we weren’t going to have biological children, adoption was our first choice," Nicole Gonzalez told CBS 58's Ellie Nakamoto-White. 

In 2021, Kjersti Toppe (Sp) was called upon to investigate illegal adoptions to Norway. But the organization that asked for an investigation was not even given a meeting.

It was in October 2021, two weeks after Toppe had taken her seat in the minister's office in the Ministry of Children and Families, that she received a letter from the organization Romanticized immigration .

The four-page letter, which VG has seen, had a simple message: Illegal adoptions have taken place in Norway, probably on a larger scale than was known.

Romanticized immigration therefore asked for an independent investigation of Norwegian adoption practices.

The organization also asked for a meeting with Toppe.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (TCD) -- A Central California couple has been convicted of several charges and acquitted on others in connection with the disappearance and deaths of their two young adopted sons.

Kern County Superior Court records show a jury found Trezell West and Jacqueline West guilty of second-degree murder, involuntary manslaughter, two counts of willful cruelty to children, and false report of emergency for the deaths of 4-year-old Orrin West and 3-year-old Orson West. The jury could not return a verdict on charges of conspire to commit a crime and another count of second-degree murder.

According to the Bakersfield Californian, the second-degree murder conviction relates to Orrin’s death, but the jury could not determine if they murdered Orson. There is reportedly a possibility that Kern County prosecutors may retry the defendants for the two charges the jurors could not agree on.

It concerns a request for a letter which the European Commission did not register

Pforzheim. Lawyer - that's what it says on the announcement of the nominations for the election of city councilors in 2019. And that's behind the name of Oana Krichbaum. She is also referred to as such on the website of her Berlin employer. But is the wife of the CDU member of the Bundestag and European policy spokesman for the CDU/CSU parliamentary group Gunther Krichbaum even allowed to call herself that? That's what a PZ-news reader who doesn't want to be named asks.

The answer from the Berlin Bar Association, where Oana Krichbaum is registered, is clear: no. The lawyer has been licensed since May 2011 and is also listed in the Federal Bar Association's nationwide official list of lawyers - but as an "Advocat". The reason for this can be found in the law on the activities of European lawyers in Germany (EuRAG). This regulates the conditions under which lawyers from EU countries and Switzerland are allowed to work in Germany. It states, among other things, that European lawyers must use the professional title of their country of origin. In the case of Krichbaum, who studied in Romania, this is the designation “Advocat”.

When confronted with this legal situation, the Pforzheim city councilor was initially surprised, but after a period of reflection she commented in detail. She first clarifies that her application for admission to the Stuttgart Bar Association as a resident European lawyer was submitted in April 2011. In the application, the National Association of Bar Associations of Romania (Uniunea Nationala a Barourilor din Romania) confirmed that she had "acquired the status of a lawyer" and was "registered with the Bucharest Bar Association on July 3, 1991," she quotes. This means that she is “authorized to practice the profession of lawyer in accordance with Law 51/1995 on the organization and practice of the legal profession,” she clarifies. Krichbaum explains that she is not allowed to negotiate in German courts and is therefore only active in an advisory capacity.

Krichbaum then describes the dilemma with the legislation. On the one hand, there are the names from Greece, Croatia or Iceland that “need more translation” (Dikigoros, Odvjetnik/Odvjetnica and Lögmaur), says Krichbaum. On the other hand, the term “lawyer” applies in Liechtenstein or Austria. “This alone makes it clear that there is no 'ranking' within the terms, but that they are placed next to each other on an equal footing,” emphasizes Krichbaum.

“In everyday use, every lawyer from a state in the European Union will say that he is a lawyer,” Oana Krichbaum.

ADOPTION FROM SOUTH KOREA

Several adoptees from South Korea, who are listed as orphans in the adoption papers, have discovered that they were adopted against their parents' will.

South Korea's Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) investigates the cases of people who have been adopted to, among others, Norway, Denmark and the Netherlands from the 1960s to the early 1990s, as of today 334 cases.

There are approximately 6,500 adoptees from South Korea in Norway.

Mohammed Hasan (50) aka ‘Pappu’ from Quarsi area of Aligarh, UP has been sentenced to 20 years jail for raping his adopted minor daughter (10), originally a Hindu.

Hasan took the 3-year-old Hindu girl from a brick kiln around 8 years back. He claims to have ‘adopted’ her, and then changed the minor’s name and religion. Once the girl turned 9, he started sexually abusing her, as per a report in Dainik Jagran. Hasan has 2 sons and 2 daughters of his own.

His daughter-in-law found him raping the child on October 25 last year. A social worker who lived nearby lodged a complaint on October 27. Shockingly, or maybe not in our apathetic colonial secular State, it is alleged that police refused to lodge an FIR for 3 days. They called the minor child to the police station for ‘questioning’ in the absence of a woman constable.

BJYM’s local leaders Dharamvir Singh Lodhi and Saurabh Chaudhary approached the CO (Circle Officer) and got the FIR lodged. Thankfully, the case was then fast-tracked by the UP govt and after 15 hearings, a judgement was delivered within 41 days of the charges being finalized on April 4, by POCSO court judge Surendra Mohan Sahay.

Mohammed Hasan was convicted for the heinous crime and given 20 years imprisonment and fined Rs 50K. The girl is currently living in a shelter home – police has not been able to trace her original parents, and neither is there any documentation of her ‘adoption’.

Critics say 2009 reform creating a 'second-generation cutoff' unfairly targets adopted children

Canadian adoptive parents of foreign-born children are applauding a push to give their children citizenship rights equal to those of adoptees born on Canadian soil.

A parliamentary committee has introduced amendments which — if passed into law — would change a rule preventing internationally adopted children from automatically transmitting their citizenship by descent if they go on to have children outside of Canada.

Critics say the current law creates an unfair distinction between Canadian-born and international adoptees that risks negatively affecting the latter group of children, who may choose to study or work abroad as adults.

"There's a two-tiered system," said Kat Lanteigne. Her son Nathanael, 7, was born in Zambia.
