Pune: Seventeen innocent children from the Preet Mandir adoption agency here and their prospective adoptive parents have become the traumatic victims of legal complications over the past four months.

Ranging in ages from 1 to 11 years, the adoption procedures of these children by foreign couples have come to a standstill.

The complications began after May 20 when the Central Adoption Resource Authority (Cara), the government's apex body on adoption issues, revoked Preet Mandir's inter-country adoption licence in response to the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) probe into the alleged malpractices at the agency.

Adopted children are used as medical ‘guinea pigs’ in U.S for pharmaceutical companies to test new drugs

13 MARCH 2013 NO COMMENT

Adopted children in American families sometimes become “guinea pigs” for pharmaceutical companies to test new drugs. Such children are prescribed five potent psychotropic medications at a time. This is beneficial both for the adoptive parents and health care professionals.

Russian diplomats found that the adoptive mother of Maxim Kuzmin who died in late January in the U.S. gave him a drug called Risperdal. It is a powerful anti-psychotic and anti-hallucination drug prescribed for acute manic attacks in patients with schizophrenia. Why a three-year-old boy not diagnosed with mental illness at the time of adoption would take such a strong drug? American TV journalists of KMID channel while preparing a story about the death of the Russian child talked to a child psychologist and found that Risperdal is also often prescribed for common disorders of psychological development and ASD.

Adepts of the so-called Attachment Therapy recommend wrapping children in a carpet, and then sitting on them. Children are also kept under a cold shower for a long time, locked in a toilet and left without food for several days. Many “advanced” parents on the advice of psychologists come up with even more sophisticated methods, making, for example, children dig their own graves. All these savage practices are implemented by proponents of the attachment therapy as the best way to get children to be obedient and break their will.

Adozioni internazionali, Romania: la CAI designa come referente unico l’ente pubblico ARAI Piemonte. Ma è davvero la scelta giusta?

La Commissione per le Adozioni Internazionali è all’opera con l’autorità centrale della Romania, l’Ufficio Rumeno per le Adozioni, allo scopo di applicare la nuova normativa in materia che vuole permettere alle coppie italo-rumene residenti in Italia di adottare internazionalmente i bambini rumeni residenti in Romania. Ma designare come referente, seppur transitoriamente, un ente pubblico come l’Agenzia ARAI è davvero la scelta giusta?

Ecco quanto comunica la CAI sul suo sito ufficiale (www.commissioneadozioni.it). “Il giorno 11 settembre 2012 si è svolto a Bucarest un incontro tra la vice presidente della Commissione per le Adozioni Internazionali e il presidente dell’Ufficio Rumeno per le Adozioni, Segretario di Stato Bogdan Panait, per definire le modalità di collaborazione tra le due Autorità Centrali nel quadro della nuova legge rumena n. 233 del 5 dicembre 2011, entrata in vigore il 7 aprile 2012, che consente ai cittadini rumeni residenti all’estero di realizzare adozioni internazionali di minori rumeni residenti in Romania.

Ghana is Calling.

On the telephone (many times), and now in my head. I haven't had a decent night sleep since we learned the truth about our Bubbly. I haven't had a decent night sleep since I knew that her friends had experienced the same type of pain. I haven't had a decent night sleep since I learned that some of them are still living the nightmare. I'm tired.

But, Ghana keeps calling. Many, many times. Usually, in the middle of the night. Mostly, we answer because we are always ready to hear from birthparents. Sometimes, it's not them and the voice on the other end of the phone is someone I would rather not ever hear from again. I want to shout "make it STOP!!!". Last night the 2am phone calls woke my two-year-old and my Giggles. She wants to know why Ghana is calling so much. She never wants to talk to them again because they make me cry. She tells me to forget Ghana. Ghana hurt her, her brother and sister and her friends. Obviously, that's a problem. I try to reassure her that there is beauty in Ghana, there is good. We need to tell her that it's not Ghana itself, that it's just a few people. I want to focus on my own family, to not have to make or receive any more phone calls of a disturbing or threatening nature. I don't want to clean up other people's messes that leave other adoptive parents broken hearted. I don't want to hear anymore desperate Ghanaian voices on the other end of the phone asking me for help. I want it all to stop. I want someone else to deal with it. I want to plug my ears and yell "la la la la LAAAAA!". But, it's not to be. It's too hard to ignore children.

It's like being in a dark building and having two doors, one with the lit "exit sign" and one without. You know the one with the light will lead you further into the building, so you desperately search for the one without a sign. You know that the one without a sign will lead you out of the darkness entirely, to a much happier place. But, no matter how hard you try, you can't find it. God makes it hard to find because He obviously doesn't want me to take the easy way out. So, I faithfully continue to use the door with the sign, the path God seems to want me to follow. I get deeper and deeper, then I can see the path ahead for a little while, then someone makes it disappear. But, I keep following those exit signs, hoping that someday this will all be a bad memory.
