found proof that in 1993FdC wanted a French journalist to report negatively on Romanian "orphans" - he refused and got fired. It is discribed a bit cryptic. This journalist, Lepers, was asked by PPDA (Patrick Poivre d'Arvor - head of French TF1) on behalf of the F to go to Romania in 1989/1990 to make dramatic news item. He did and FdC did lots of fundraising. In 1993 when asked again he refused, he did not want to ignore the progress made. (see attached note for proof)

Lepers (caliban 07/06/04 à 23h20) (john paul) a dans sa biographie un acte qui l´a fait monter dans mon estime : il y a de celà quelques années, il a refusé de servir la soupe a un ami de PPDA, ce qui lui a valu son poste. En fait CP (grand spécialiste des biographies sur ce forum) vous expliquerait mieux que moi que PPDA est un ancien responsable des jeunes giscardiens qui a dans ses relations l´ancien "Jacques Attali" de Giscard un certain françois quelquechose qui est par ailleurs un ponte de la banque Lazard. Celui-ci, allez savoirpourquoi, fait une fixation sur les enfants roumains abandonnés. Quand le scandale des orphelinats roumains a éclaté, il a organisé une collecte de fonds et fait intervenir toutes ses relations pour ramasser les millions. A ce moment PPD a envoyé Lepers enquêter. Le résultat a été phénoménal. Quand quelques années plus tard, il a voulu refaire appel aux dons, PPDA a tenté de renvoyer Lepers pour "refaire" des images chocs en minimisant les actions réalisées par les autorités roumaines, l´europe etc., ce que JPL a refusé. Il a donc été éjecté...

" Le Canard enchaîné " évoque une opération boursière de Mme Giscard d'Estaing

" Le Canard enchaîné ", qui avait publié le 27 juin 1979 la feuille d'impôt du président de la République évoque, dans son numéro paru le 16 juillet, ce qu'il présente comme un " coup de Bourse " réalisé par l'épouse du chef de l'État, Mme Anne-Aymone Giscard d'Estaing.

L'hebdomadaire indique, sans plus de précision, que Mme Giscard d'Estaing aurait acheté en Bourse des actions Rhône-Poulenc depuis le début de l'année, et qu'un ordre d'achat aurait notamment été transmis avant le départ en Allemagne fédérale, le 7 juillet, du couple présidentiel. Or c'est le 9 juillet que fut annoncée officiellement la cession par Rhône-Poulenc de tous ses intérêts dans la chimie de base au groupe Elf-Aquitaine. Une opération qui a rapporté 1,4 milliard de francs à Rhône-Poulenc (soit 60 francs par action) et déclenché une forte hausse du cours de ses actions en Bourse. Dans la mesure où, toujours selon le Canard enchaîné, M. Polge de Combret, secrétaire général adjoint de la présidence de la République, a été au courant de l'origine de cette opération industrielle, l'hebdomadaire laisse entendre que Mme Giscard d'Estaing aurait réalisé une acquisition tombant sous le coup de la loi qui réprime les " opérations d'initiés ".

The Kerala High Court has ruled that adoption by step-parent cannot be permitted unless the biological parent of the child gives consent for adoption. The Court further clarified that CARA (Central Adoption Resource Agency) cannot relax the requirement of obtaining biological parent's consent for adoption under the Adoption Regulations due to the legal implications of an adoption.Justice...

With the entry into force of the revised European Directive on Combating Trafficking in Human Beings ((EU) 2024/1712), illegal adoption has been identified as a new form of human trafficking. The directive does not explain under which circumstances illegal adoption falls under exploitation. In view of the future amendment of the law in the Netherlands, a graduation research was conducted at the EMM on abuses in the intercountry adoption chain and the impact of these abuses on victims.

Interviews with victims

In the graduation research, fifteen victims of abuses in the adoption chain were interviewed. Their adoptions took place between 1975 and 2001. The now adult adopted respondents came across illegal and unethical practices during their search for their adoption history. In the interviews, they tell what they discovered about the events preceding their adoption procedure and the course of the procedure.

Types of abuse

NEW DELHI: The government has set off the process to verify and include in the foster care and adoption pool of the Central Adoption Resources Authority children above six years living in child care institutions (CCIs) who have not been visited by anyone from their family for a stipulated period of time or whose guardians have been found to be unfit to take care of them due to any mental or terminal illness.
States are verifying and processing all these cases for inclusion in the pool. Speaking at the closing session of the national consultation organised under the aegis of the Supreme Court’s Juvenile Justice Committee and Unicef on the protection of the rights of children with disabilities, women and child development secretary Anil Malik shared that to include the identified children in the adoption pool two new categories are being added pertaining to cases involving “unfit guardians” and “no visitations”. These new categories have been added in addition to the existing categories of orphaned, abandoned, and surrendered (OAS) children in the adoption pool of the Central Adoption Resources Authority.
 

Nearly 15,000 children, across these categories, who can be moved to the adoption pool from CCIs have been identified across institutions in the country.
The Supreme Court had in Nov 2023 directed the government to identify and register all such children languishing in CCIs and those not reaching the care institutions without any delay.

The WCD secretary reiterated that the step to include these older children in CCIs in the adoption pool was in line with the view of integrating as many children with the mainstream by trying to see that they grow up in a family and have a social upbringing and not be left to grow in the confines of a children home.
“As far as children registered under the category of ‘no visitation’ and ‘unfit guardians’ are concerned, they will primarily be potential cases for foster care. Once such children are declared legally free, their permanent rehabilitation can be facilitated through adoption,” CARA had stated in its memorandum issued earlier this year to all state adoption resource authorities, district child protection units, specialised adoption agencies and child care institutions.

While emphasising the growing focus on foster care, Malik also emphasised that to step-up adoptions of children with disabilities the process has been streamlined which has given an impetus to the adoptions in this category not just by foreigners and NRIs but also prospective parents from within the country. Malik said they were noticing a positive change in attitudes. The WCD secretary shared that in 2022-23, 152 children with disabilities were adopted. This rose to 309 last year and so far this year, around 150 children have already found a family.

Now that Spoorloos is ending, the government must make money available for adoptees who are looking for relatives. That is what experts and people involved say. Former editors of the TV program will be questioned in court on Thursday.

Shortly after the adopted Iris Kolthof had heard from a Spoorloos editor that she would be reunited with biological family members, it turned out that the TV program would be taken off the air immediately. That decision followed more than a week after the news, in the Volkskrant of February 12, that the editors had linked Marthainès de Vries to the wrong relatives in Colombia .

After a great deal of commotion about De Vries' heartbreaking story, KRO-NCRV decided to stop showing Spoorloos and to throw out the recordings for the coming season. To prevent De Vries and other victims of a mismatch - officially there are eight - from being confronted with the program again.

Kolthof (32) was informed five minutes before the press release. 'I was shocked. I was supposed to travel to Brazil with a team from Spoorloos in mid-March . I knew they had a DNA match. I would hear the rest there.' To her relief, it turned out that the trip would go ahead as planned, because it had already been set in motion. 'But the reunion will not be filmed or broadcast.'
