In 1973 I was adopted from India to Germany, like many of you who may read this. My views on adoption were bottom-line quite positive, just as my view on organisations involved in this, like International Social Service (ISS). Little did I know…

In 1999 I got my first access to the Internet and started searching. The Internet provided the first chance to get some information. Still little did I know…

Today we are faced with the fact that the governments of the receiving countries are funding ISS for various services. One important aspect is that ISS receives funding to assist adoptees with roots searches. They are considered the expert on whom the governments in the receiving countries rely.

In the coming weeks we will share bits and pieces about the involvement of ISS in intercountry adoptions, including their direct or indirect complicity in the trafficking of children for adoption.

I fully understand that this may be hard to believe. I could not imagine myself for many years. I thought ISS is the expert organisation who ensures ethical and legal adoptions, understands adoptees’ and children´s needs, as well as their rights.

The dubious connections of the mercenary politician Siegfried Mure?an with Klaus Iohannis and Oana Paraschiva Harvalia, also an "expert" in international adoptions, like the Iohannis. Sibiu Mayor Klaus Werner Iohannis was the one who officiated Paraschiva's marriage in 2010, in Sibiu, with Gunther Krichbaum, politician, member of the German Parliament and from the same political gang as the "German" Siegfried Mure?an.

International social services, from India to Romania

When in 2011/2012 the filming of Stolen Children - International Adoptions from India took place at the ACT office in Brussels, I was drawn into the details of the German / Indian trafficking case.

Arun was speaking in German to the journalist, explaining the involvement of the German branch of International Social Services. He appointed her to the International Sozialdienst Deutscher Zweig.

Corruption has many shapes and the higher one gets, the more blatant and at the same time subtle it becomes.

No one would really accept if tobacco companies make public health policies.

In the area of child adoption, however, society accepts this.

Let´s have a closer look.

Hollywood star’s search for a baby brought focus on Irish adoptions

Publicity surrounding the Hollywood actor Jane Russell and her adoption of an Irish baby angered the then government because it portrayed Ireland as ‘exporting babies’ for the benefit of wealthy Americans who wanted children.

Russell was one of the most famous performers in the world when in November 1951 she adopted Thomas Kavanagh, a 15-month-old born to Irish parents in London.

The adoption almost scuppered her career and led to allegations in the international press that Irish institutions were effectively selling babies to the highest bidder.

Tommy’s mother, Florrie turned up at the Savoy Hotel in London after she heard Russell was looking to adopt an Irish child. The Irish authorities became involved when Russell publicly complained that British law did not allow her to take the child out of Britain, which had stopped the practice in 1948.
