Adoption has been a common theme in Ireland for the last 100 years and until recently was administered predominantly by institutions associated with the Catholic Church. Adoption was particularly common in Ireland due to the perceived guilt and shame of having a child out of wedlock. Thousands of children were admitted to the care of adoption institutions who failed to adopt proper procedures for the registration of adoptions.

Investigations carried out by Barnardo’s children’s charity have found that there may be up to 15,000 illegal adoptions throughout Ireland where adoptive parents were registered as birth parents.

The organisation Adoptions Rights Allowance have also found that at least 182 institutions or individuals across Ireland have been involved in illegal adoption practices.

One such institution that has come under intense scrutiny is the now defunct St Patrick’s Guild who have been found to be responsible for the incorrect registration of 126 adoptions. This led to TUSLA, Ireland’s child protection agency, contacting the affected individuals in 2018 to inform them of this practice of illegal adoption.

What is a Dutch intercountry adoption?

When a child born abroad, without Dutch nationality, is brought to the Netherlands for adoption, we call this a Dutch intercountry adoption. The Netherlands is the receiving country, the other country the country of origin or the sending country. Adoption literally means adopting a child. The child is given a new identity, including a new family, (surname) name and nationality.

How is intercountry adoption arranged in the Netherlands?

The most important rules that apply to Dutch prospective adoptive parents who want to adopt a child are contained in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Hague Adoption Convention and the (Dutch) Adoption of Foreign Children Act (Wobka) of 1998.

My name is Kira Pumali Pedersen. I am a 33-year-old educational anthropologist who is engaged to Martin. Together we have two children, Rose and Falke, and live in a small terraced house with lots of projects. I was adopted from Sri Lanka and came to Denmark when I was 10 weeks old.

In 2019, I became a mother for the first time to Rose. She arrived seven weeks early and my path into parenthood was very tumultuous. After a year, I started with a fantastic psychologist at the Gaia Institute, who asked me to consider going to a hotel for at least 24 hours. I didn't have to think about that for long and after a day alone, I came home with courage and passion.

It had taken me a long time to accept that I was struggling with parenting and had come down with a postpartum reaction. Convinced that I couldn't be the only one having a hard time, I therefore created the Instagram account "Parent Reactions".

?

Since then a lot has happened and I now share about most aspects of my and my family's life. It wasn't long before I discovered that I can't separate my experience of parenthood with adoption, Rose's life as a preemie, mental health, and yes, everything else.

Memories can be precious. But Alexander Guibault’s first memories are horrific.

“I sometimes feel I am meant to survive,” Guibault said.

When Alexander was about six, his family sold him to organ traffickers. He was taken from rural Guatemala and put in a basement in Guatemala City. He remembers being tied to a post and held captive with other kids. He recalls a doctor coming for each of them, examining their bodies and marking a “Y” on the children’s chests.

“I was marked,” he said. “I will say the three kids before me was cut open and I can’t really specify which organs was removed.”

Alexander’s instinct was to run and escape. When his capturers were drunk, he and a few others took off. He survived on the streets and in several orphanages, but his life was not without abuse.

Sorina Săcărin, the little girl adopted a few years ago by a Romanian family from the USA despite the campaign of lies and hatred unleashed by Antena 3 and Romania TV, has become a happy and fulfilled young lady, who studies very well, plays the piano and violin and gives concerts. No one "stole" her "organs", as the little girl feared, in an abject and criminal way, the Şaramat family from Baia de Aramă, the one who had Sorina in foster care, a lie also supported by the televisions controlled by Dan Voiculescu and Sebastian Gosh.

In 2019, Antena 3 and Romania TV, but also B1 TV (through Sorina Matei, its employee at the time), launched a media lynching campaign, with the fight against the Justice and the prosecutors as its substrate. The lies spilled out of the studios drove the viewers crazy, on social networks reaching rumors such as the one that Sorina was kidnapped and that she is going to be ritually sacrificed or used as an organ donor. The two TV stations never paid for the crap said then.

Journalist Ioana Ene Dogioiu, one of the people who saved Sorina from the clutches of the foster carers who were exploiting her at the time, kept in touch with the girl's adoptive mother and constantly received news, films and photos with her.

Ioana Ene Dogioiu published photos of Sorina and her mother. We reproduce a few lines from the journalist's editorial, published on Spotmedia.ro .

Choe Sang-Hun examined unsealed government documents and interviewed six women who worked in camp towns around American military bases in South Korea for this article.

DONGDUCHEON, South Korea — When Cho Soon-ok was 17 in 1977, three men kidnapped and sold her to a pimp in Dongducheon, a town north of Seoul.

She was about to begin high school, but instead of pursuing her dream of becoming a ballerina, she was forced to spend the next five years under the constant watch of her pimp, going to a nearby club for sex work. Her customers: American soldiers.

The euphemism “comfort women” typically describes Korean and other Asian women forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese during World War II. But the sexual exploitation of another group of women continued in South Korea long after Japan’s colonial rule ended in 1945 — and it was facilitated by their own government.

There were “special comfort women units” for South Korean soldiers, and “comfort stations” for American-led U.N. troops during the Korean War. In the postwar years, many of these women worked in gijichon, or “camp towns,” built around American military bases.
