ADOPTION

By JILL NELSON

Posted Nov. 4, 2015, 08:56 a.m.

Africa has become the new “hot spot” for international adoptions, and that trend has led to some disturbing developments: Recent reports show corruption and child trafficking in some countries where international adoption is on the rise. As adoptive parents strive to untangle the web of laws, inherent risks, and seemingly endless requirements, turning to those with “boots on the ground” is one way to make sense of the confusion.

COUPLES LEFT IN LIMBO AS ADOPTION AGENCY CLOSES

1 November, 2015 - 10:41 General

One of the state's only adoption agencies has dramatically closed following a funding crisis, leaving more than 60 couples that had initiated an inter-country adoption, in limbo.

The Sunday Business Post reports that Arc adoption, one of just two agencies authorised to facilitate inter-country adoptions, told clients last week that it was 'winding down its operations with immediate effect'.

Tiny hand holding an adult's hand

Misterul sicriului gol, ingropat timp de 21 de ani. Parintii unui copil din Valcea cred ca fiica lor a fost adoptata si e vie

VIDEOhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-q-D5Ghcihk&feature=youtu.beMisterul sicriului gol, ingropat timp de 21 de ani. Parintii unui copil din Valcea cred ca fiica lor a fost adoptata si e vieEmbed:

O intamplare aparent banala scoate la iveala o poveste terifianta, in judetul Valcea. La 21 de ani de la moartea unei fetite care ar fi avut SIDA, rudele au descoperit ca sicriul acesteia este gol. 16ComenteazaUrmau sa ii aseze osemintele langa tatal sau care s-a prapadit acum. Oamenii au alertat procuratura si se gandesc la toate variantele posibile. Cea mai fericita ar fi aceea potrivit careia fata traieste si a fost adoptata in strainatate. La vremea respectiva, ea ar fi fost pusa in cosciug chiar de la spital, iar rudele au fost sfatuite sa nu-l deschida.Inainte sa isi dea ultima suflare, parintele a cerut sa fie ingropat alaturi de fiica lui, care s-ar fi stins acum 21 de ani. In aceste conditii, rudele au decis sa deschida sicirul copilei, ca sa ii ia osemintele si sa le aseze langa tatal ei. Cand au ridicat capacul, au incremenit. In cosciugul fetei erau doar niste haine de adult.Uta Dumitrascu, ruda: "Sosete, lenjerie intima de femei, o panza intinsa si doi papuci, atat a fost in sicriu. Nicio bucatica de os..."Elisabeta Zamfira, ruda: "Carpe si atat! Incolo nimic... Erau chiloti de dama si carpe rupte. Atat! Si-n timpul asta, tatal a suferit dupa fata... El a murit cu gandul ca traieste fata."Sotii Dumitrascu au avut cinci copii. Flori, cea mai mica, a fost dusa la Spitalul Victor Babes, din Bucuresti, de mama ei, care i-a spus apoi sotului ca fata are SIDA. Cateva luni mai tarziu, barbatul a fost chemat in Capitala sa ia trupul fetei. Omul a primit un sicriu sigilat.Petruta Bughe, ruda: "A sigilat-o pe fata si au zis sa n-o desfaca, ca e bolnava de SIDA. Nu cred ca fata e moarta... Au vandut-o."21 de ani a plans-o Ion pe Flori si, spun ai lui, a crezut mereu ca ea traieste, totusi.Dintr-o data rudele se gandesc ca este posibil ca omul sa fi avut dreptate. Si-au amintit ca in acea perioada in comuna au venit mai multi straini care voiau sa cumpere copii. Acum dau vina pe mama fetitei, mai ales ca si sora lui Flori a fost la un pas de adoptie.Femeia, care intre timp si-a refacut viata, isi aminteste doar ca niste canadieni au venit sa o infieze pe cea mica.Maria Florea, mama fetitei decedate: "Bill si Carry, din Canada au venit la poarta, atunci am depistat... I-au facut niste analize la Bucuresti si au zis ca are HIV. Acuma, eu nu stiu, asa am stiut pana acuma."Socat de cele intamplate, Florin, fratele cel mai mare acum in varsta de 30 de ani, este convins ca sora lui nu a fost bolnava si nu a murit. " Boala" fetei ar fi fost doar un pretext pentru ca ea sa fie scoasa din tara prin intermediul unei retele de trafic de copii. Barbatul a gasit in casa o hartie veche de 28 de ani din care rezulta ca si el avea SIDA.Florin Dumitrascu, fratele lui Flori: "Habar n-am avut... Acuma am ramas socat cand am vazut! Pai, eu nu mai existam demult daca aveam SIDA. Nu am luat niciun tratament in viata mea."Politistii au cerut o fotografie de-a fetei. Vor sa o proceseze pe calculator si sa incerce sa afle cum arata acum, ca sa fie data in urmarire
