"Past abuses should not make adoption from abroad impossible." This is what prospective adoptive parents Marjolein and Kris say after the decision by Minister of Welfare Hilde Crevits (CD&V) to temporarily suspend intercountry adoption. Gitte, herself adopted from Guatemala, disagrees: "Child trafficking will always exist." What should happen next?

Kris and Marjolein are candidate adoptive parents. They are in the final stages of their adoption process. Because Kris himself was adopted from India, the couple chose India as their country of origin.

“We could probably have a baby of our own. But we consciously choose adoption. We believe it is important to welcome a child who has little or no chance of a quality life into our family. We made the specific choice for a child with special needs. Their future is even worse in their country of origin. We can provide minor medical procedures that are very expensive in India in Belgium.”

Many more rules

“A lot of things have changed for the better in the last 30 or 40 years. I am a living example of that,” says Kris. “Two years after my adoptive parents started their procedure, they had me. I was a perfectly healthy 8 month old baby. That situation could never arise again.”

The agreement on the SSA funds has been published on the website of the Ministry of Social Affairs, Housing and the Elderly .

It appears from the text of the agreement that 12.6 million will be set aside. DKK for investigation of the international adoption agency to Denmark:

"The world of adoption has changed over time, and not least in light of the requirements that have become more stringent over time, there is an ongoing focus on suspicions of illegal circumstances, especially in relation to adoptions carried out back in time. Funds are therefore set aside to map the historical development in international adoption mediation to Denmark in the form of an impartial study of the international adoption mediation from the ten countries from which most children were adopted to Denmark in the period 1964 to 2016. The purpose of the study will be to provide information that supports the adoptees' right to know their own history. The investigation is not carried out with the aim of concluding whether the specific adoptions took place on an illegal basis, and therefore the investigation will have the character of a historical investigation and not a legal assessment 2025-2027."

DIA drew attention to the need for an investigation in a request to Social Affairs and Housing Minister Pernille Rosenkrantz-Theil in September.

Adoption Support Center believes it is important to support aftercare projects. That is why we launch an annual incentive call with which we want to give aftercare projects a substantive and financial boost. In October we launched the 2024 call. But how did the 2023 projects actually go? Earlier this year we provided an overview of the projects that emerged as winners during the previous round. As the end of the year approaches, it's time to take a look back at some of the completed projects! What did they organize and what motivated them to commit themselves to organizing it?

Diversity Beauty Wellbeing Day - by CAFE

CAFE is an interest group that brings together adult adoptees from all countries of origin, first parents and adoptive parents. People with a foster care background and donor children are also welcome with us. From a critical view of the enforcement of children's and human rights within the transnational adoption system, we stand up for the rights and well-being of our target group. We do this by thinking about policy regarding adoption, denouncing abuses, organizing informative events and contact with fellow sufferers.

With the help of the incentive from Support Center Adoption, we organized our annual Wellbeing Day, which this year had the theme "Diversity Beauty". Adoptees were informed about the care of all skin types and afterwards a make-up workshop was provided.

Thiruvananthapuram ∙ Mother Anupama S. Chandran came to the Navakerala audience and filed a complaint against the adoption of the child by the Child Welfare Committee without her knowledge. Yesterday, Anupama and her husband Ajith came to the Navakerala Assembly in Vattiyoorkau and lodged a complaint demanding strict action to be taken against the culprits. 

Anupama protest was held at the Child Welfare Committee and the Secretariat to get the baby released. Anupama's baby was taken back from Andhra after it was found that the adoption procedure was not followed. The government promised to take action against the culprits when the strike ends. It was announced 2 years ago that the police will investigate the incident and take departmental action. However, the complaint states that the government has not fulfilled this promise so far
