Ethiopia adoption ban may curb trafficking, but poorest families need support

NAIROBI, Jan 15 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - A ban on the adoption of Ethiopian children by foreigners could curb child abuse and trafficking, but more support is needed for vulnerable families within the impoverished country, experts said on Monday.

KAN INTERLANDELIJKE ADOPTIE BLIJVEN VOORTBESTAAN?

Op 18 januari vindt het Algemeen Overleg over interlandelijke adopties plaats. Terre des Hommes Nederland en Defence for Children Nederland hebben in dat kader het rapport 'The sale of children and illegal adoption' aan de Vaste Kamercommissie Justitie en Veiligheid aangeboden, opgesteld door de internationale kinderbeschermingsexpert Nigel Cantwell. Het rapport laat zien op welke manieren de internationale regels voor een zorgvuldige adoptieprocedure, door allerlei partijen betrokken bij interlandelijke adopties, juist handig zijn gebruikt, omzeild, toegedekt of afgekocht om adopties te faciliteren. Interlandelijke adoptie is niet in overeenstemming met het subsidiariteitsbeginsel van het VN-Kinderrechtenverdrag (IVRK). Terre des Hommes en Defence for Children menen dat de Nederlandse overheid niet kan volstaan met het enkel herzien van het huidige interlandelijke adoptiesysteem en vragen zich af of interlandelijke adoptie kan blijven voortbestaan. Interlandelijke adoptie mag pas in beeld komen als alle andere mogelijkheden in het zendende land om het kind te beschermen falen (artikel 21 sub b IVRK).

Illegale adopties zijn adopties die tot stand zijn gekomen door een legale adoptieprocedure, maar die de uitkomst zijn van daaraan voorafgaande onwettige, ongeoorloofde en criminele praktijken. Het rapport geeft een systematisch overzicht van alle grote misstanden rondom adoptie van voor én na de inwerkingtreding van het Haags Adoptieverdrag (1993). Daarnaast laat het zien hoe landen door wetgeving, beleid en praktijk de koop van kinderen mogelijk maken, ten behoeve van de interlandelijke adoptie van deze kinderen. Staten laten het adoptieproces over aan private initiatieven en zowel zendende als ontvangende landen staan grote sommen geld in het proces toe. Aanpassingen in regelgeving, strengere kwaliteitskaders, nadere regelingen, en handleidingen bleken vaak niet meer dan cosmetische ingrepen.

Orphan child diagnosed with ADHD, senior world champion in martial arts

Veronica Serbov had a nightmare childhood, eating bread and butter from the older girls in the orphanage where about 300 children were crammed.

"I simply could not sit still. I was standing up on the bench and the teacher told me to sit down in vain. If I didn't move for more than 10 minutes, I felt like I was going crazy, my blood was boiling, my heart was pumping faster". says Veronica in a publication.

She found her vocation alone: ??"I liked martial arts when I saw the first movie with Bruce Lee. I saw him kicking trees to train, I was kicking too... There were some boys doing martial arts in our school hall. I was 8-9 years old and I used to watch for hours through the window during training. I would climb the building and stay there in the sun, in the rain, in the wind, summer and winter, it didn't matter".

19,333 children are institutionalized in Romania. In larger or smaller houses. Of them, 5,959 are in centers dedicated to those with special needs. 60% of those in special homes receive psychiatric treatment. And almost 30% of all institutionalized minors are under treatment. The reason? Does the system only want quiet, submissive children with no aspirations and no freedom of expression? I am convinced that many of them would have had the chance to become normal adults, able to discover and develop their talents in painting, music, theater, but is it so easy to destroy sensitivities?

"I'm not saying I was born to do martial arts. But three years spent in the extermination center from P?cli?a, during which I was sedated, tranquilized, did not manage to turn me away from this sport". World champion of senior women in martial arts, kempo style, at only 18 years old, Veronica Serbov was a child-phenomenon, who promised to overcome her destiny with amazing drama.

Eyes lit as they adopt girl

Ten-year wait for Nikhil and Sara (name changed) came to a happy end today as they walked out of the District Child Protection Office (DCPO), Mini Secretariat, holding their daughter Anika (name changed) after they fulfilled all legal and medical formalities required for child adoption.

A glint of happiness was clearly visible in the couple’s eyes when DCPO committee members, after thoroughly scrutinising the documents and prolonged interactive session, nodded in a yes for the adoption.

Hailing from a south Indian state, Anika’a mother is a chartered accountant and father is in a senior position in a reputed automobile company and had applied for adoption in July 2016.

Anika is the first girl child among three children adopted in the district in the past 14 months, since the official child adoption agency was established at Shri Anath Ashram, Nathana, in October, 2016.

Earlier, prospective adopters for children had to visit the official child adoption agency at the government orphanage in Faridkot.

Block adoptions from Ethiopia: couples in alarm

Someone already fears that it may be a new Congo, for Italian adoptions. It was September 25, 2013 when Kinshasa suddenly announced the freezing of practices: "Enough, the children stay here." It was the beginning of an endless epic for over a hundred families and children. Now it's up to Ethiopia.

DNA DATABASE & DNA PROFILING OR DNA TYPING TOOLS TO TRACE MISSING CHILDREN

Abstract:

Lakhs of children are kidnapped across the country each year and pushed into sex or organ trade or bonded labour but precious little is being done to find and restore them to their parents. For these children, it is living through the worst nightmare. Getting lost in markets and seeing strange faces all around may put a child in utter agony. But for a kidnapped child, this is just the beginning of a long ordeal. At the other end, for the parents it is an even bigger horror; not getting to see the child they were bringing up with so much affection and the constant fear of what he or she might be undergoing among strangers. The Supreme Court recently asked the Centre and all the State governments to state what they have been doing to trace the 55,000 children who, officially, have gone missing in the past three years. It issued notice on a petition, which alleged that these children were kidnapped for the purpose of prostitution, bonded labour, removal of vital organs such as kidneys and eyes, bootlegging and smuggling. Incidentally, on July 18, the National Human Rights Commission (NHRC) asked the Delhi government and police to submit a report on claims that at least 50 children went missing from the Capital in the first eight days of that month. It also asked them to inform whether the guidelines on missing children issued in August 2007 were strictly followed. The NHRC had, in the wake of the Nithari kidnappings and murders of children in Noida, constituted a five-member committee under member P.C. Sharma, which prepared an exhaustive report on missing children. This paper focus on recent technology of Bio-engineering like Dna Database & Dna Profiling that can be used to trace missing children.

Introduction:

India is being manipulated into losing her Sovereignty. The Future of Common Indians is very DARK, as the Indian Democratic Republic is being turned into an Unconstitutional Oligarchy, with “ruthless” CLASS WAR as the main Objective. PPP, Divestment, Privatization, DEREGULATION, National Manufacturing Policy, NMIZs, Destroying Agriculture and “Culture”, by Industrialization and Real Estate on Fertile lands, subsidies to the rich oligarchs Indian and foreign in the form of stimuli, from 2008,Deliberately keeping Budget Deficit and Inflation High, SOCIAL ENGINEERING on the diktat of “their” Western Masters, FDI in and Philanthropy for Education, Efforts to take over the CHILD by the STATE, Misusing the Minorities Against the Majority Hindus, Land Grabs, SEZs, GMO Foods/seeds, Misuse of Media by Predictive programming and other Mind Control techniques over the Masses, Misinformation using the so-called “Intellectuals, celebrities and other Public Figures and Bodies”, UID, Bankrupting the Nation in collusion with the International Bankers, Dislocating Citizens of India from their places of birth, “REFORMS”,GLOBALIZATION,DEPOPULATION(EUGENICS) and profit for the Pharma industry, misusing Vaccination, Bio-Terror like Bird-,Swine-,etc- Flus, Free Trade, NGOs, the Philanthropic Foundations, both Foreign and Indian, MNCs joining Indian Media Houses in campaigns, Technocracy (Scientific Dictatorship) to STEAL the Wealth of the Citizens by Electronic and other means, carbonTax /Currency/ Trading, Stock, Commodities And Currency Markets, and above all the UN, with MDG or Agenda 21,False Flags, Awards to Pro-Globalists, allowing Foreign [US] troops to operate inside the nation on the pretext of “War On Terror”, etc are being used to weaken the people and thus their WILL to resist, the formation of ONE WORLD TOTALITARIAN GOVERNMENT, also called, THE NEW WORLD ORDER (NWO) [1] In 2005, the NHRC Action Research on Trafficking stated that in any given year, on an average of 44,000 children are reported missing; and of them, as many as 11,000 remain untraced [2] It was noted that as per the directions of the Delhi High Court, a cell relating to missing persons/children was set up in the Central Bureau of Investigation but lamented that due to lack of adequate resources, it was not able to achieve the desired results. “Since the CBI is a central investigating agency, having powers and jurisdiction to take up cases of inter-state and international ramifications, it would be desirable to strengthen this cell to enhance its capacity to coordinate and investigate criminal cases relating to missing children and persons,” it said.Need for a central repository has long been felt by those working towards recovery and rehabilitation of missing children. Anuj Bhargava, a trustee of missingindiankids.com, which has been operating for over a decade from Bhopal and has helped in the recovery of six children by putting up on its website information and photographs on missing children from across the country, said.
