Investigting mysterious donation in London for $ 3.4 million

With nearly half a century of tradition in child protection and adoption, cFoundation was suspended.
By: Hernández Quevedo Norbey

In order to help homeless children, in May 1968 a group of 22 couples decided to create Pisingos Foundation in Bogota. A laudable initiative which for more than four decades became the benchmark for protection of thousands of poor children and an international model for the adoption of infants. However, this week the philanthropic legacy was challenged because millionaires unholy financial dealings resulted in the loss of the operating license and the suspension of legal status for six months.

For several years were an open secret doubts persist about foster homes. First, infrastructure, and second, to rumors about dealings under the table when delivering children for adoption. Preference whiff of foreigners before the nationals.

In 2005 there was a bell. Several houses handed over to families making 383 foreign children. In exchange for donations received about U.S. $ 2.3 million went to accounts in Panama, Cayman Islands, New York and Colombia. Also last year the Attorney showed that several establishments adoption of Bogota, Cali and Medellin operated without control. (more…)

Adoptions: Used false death certificates

I have used fake death certificates of biological parents of Ethiopian adopted children who have come to Denmark.

08TH APRIL 2013 KL. 21:34

By: Line Gertsen and Ditte Bannor-Kristensen

Ethiopian adopted children have come to Denmark, in which were used fake death certificates for the biological parents. The children’s parents have been declared dead in order to get the adoption to go through. That recognizes DanAdopt now to DR News.

- When there is a registry office in Ethiopia, and it only requires the meeting of three witnesses who say that a person’s death for a death certificate, then it is a very difficult system to have to do, says Senior in DanAdopt Mette Garnæs to DR.

The problems are known

According to Ethiopian law, the biological parents sign and testify if they are to be adopting a child, while a death certificate of the parents, conversely, leads to a quick and easy original separation process. Therefore, it has repeatedly been shown that false death certificates were made for biological parents. (more…)

Slovakia: Adoptions to Italy halted

Missing Documentation Led To Suspension Of Adoptions

25 Mar 2013
Roman Cuprik Politics & Society

ADOPTIONS of Slovak children to Italy were put on hold on February 19, due to what Slovakia identified as missing post-adoption reports on the fate of 72 Slovak children adopted by Italian families. The moratorium will remain in effect until all of Slovakia’s terms are met by the Italian side. Meanwhile, Italy, the country with the highest demand for international adoptions from Slovakia, has promised to supply by April 15 the missing reports on 72 of the 269 children adopted over the past 10 years, Labour Ministry spokesperson Michal Stuška told The Slovak Spectator.

Slovak Labour Minister Ján Richter halted the adoptions on the heels of a visit to Italy on February 13 by Andrea Císarová, the head of the Centre for International Legal Protection of Children and Youth (CIPC), a branch of the Labour Ministry, to discuss the missing adoption reports. Císarová met with representatives of the Italian Commission for International Adoptions (CAI) and inquired about 117 post-adoption reports. However, she was only able to access a few of them, according to the Sme daily.

Slovak MPs began looking into documentation on the adoption of Slovak children in September 2012, after disputed cases of inter-country adoptions emerged, Sme reported. The impetus came primarily from the highly charged case of the Boór brothers, who were originally taken away from their parents, who at that time lived in Great Britain, by British social services.

VPRO Argos: Reconstructie van een adoptie

Source: http://weblogs.vpro.nl
23 februari 2013-

Een Ethiopische rechtbank herriep twee weken geleden de adoptie van het nu veertienjarige meisje Betty. Haar adoptie in Nederland liep fout. Ze werd op 7-jarige leeftijd, tegen haar zin weggehaald bij haar biologische ouders en bij een Nederlands echtpaar geplaatst. Haar adoptieouders konden niet met haar overweg. Ze belandde in de crisisopvang en kinderbescherming plaatste haar bij een pleegmoeder. Daar gaat het nu goed met Betty. In haar adoptiepapieren staat dat ze wees was, maar Betty’s biologische ouders waren twee weken geleden aanwezig bij de rechtszaak.
In Argos vertelt Betty haar verhaal. En een reconstructie op basis van het volledige adoptiedossier. Hoe kan het dat adoptiepapieren vervalst zijn? Wat is er mis met adopties uit Ethiopie?

Argos: rechter Ethiopië verklaart adoptie Nederlands meisje Betty ongeldig

Nieuwsbericht: Ethiopische rechter verklaart adoptie onwettig

Geplaatst op 15 februari 2013       door Barbara Schreuders
Nieuwsbericht Argos (HUMAN, VARA, VPRO)

Een rechtbank in de Ethiopische hoofdstad Addis Ababa heeft deze week de adoptie van een 14-jarig meisje door Nederlandse adoptieouders ongeldig verklaard. Dit meldt het onderzoeksprogramma Argos (Radio 1) vandaag (vrijdag 15 februari 2013) dat het vonnis in handen heeft. Volgens adoptiedeskundigen, die Argos raadpleegde, is zoiets nooit eerder gebeurd. Het meisje, Betty werd in 2005 op 7-jarige leeftijd door een Nederlands echtpaar geadopteerd. Vergunninghouder Wereldkinderen regelde deze adoptie. Betty’s biologische ouders waren op papier dood, terwijl ze nog leven. Zij hebben de rechtszaak aangespannen, onder begeleiding van mensenrechtenorganisatie Against Child Trafficking (ACT).

De biologische ouders wilden Betty weer officieel bij de familie laten inschrijven en haar de achternaam van haar vader teruggeven. Dit kan na de positieve uitspraak van de rechter ook gebeuren. Betty’s adoptie is één van de 19 dossiers die in 2009 in opdracht van Ina Hut, toenmalig directeur van Wereldkinderen, werd onderzocht omdat er sterke aanwijzingen waren van fraude bij Ethiopische adopties. Alle 19 – willekeurig uitgekozen – adoptie-procedures bleken inderdaad niet volgens de regels te zijn verlopen en werden beschreven in het rapport ‘Fruits of Ethiopia’. Argos (VPRO, VARA, HUMAN) berichtte op 6 oktober 2012 in de uitzending: ‘Adoptie, markt van corruptie en geluk’ over misstanden bij adopties in Ethiopië, waaronder die van Betty. Ook het KRO-televisieprogramma Brandpunt berichtte eerder over de zaak van Betty. (more…)

Ethiopian girl had her adoption revoked

Politiken | 14.02.2013 | Page 7

Betty and her mother after the Court hearing.

ADOPTION A Dutch adoption case, which looks like the two Danish cases has ended happily – at least for the girl Betty, who is now her real parents daughter again.

by Dorrit SAIETZ

It could be the girl Masho from the movie ‘adoption come price’ or Amy from Mildura. The story similar to confusion about them: As a 7-year-old Betty Demoze was, with her little sister of 2 years old, adopted by a Dutch couple. But the adoption was based on a bunch of lies: Betty was older than 6 years, what was in the papers, and the children’s parents were not dead.

Like in the two Danish cases things went awry in the adoptive family – Betty missed her real parents and would not give in.

Just as Amy and Masho she was eventually placed outside the adoptive home, but before she managed to spend 2 years in the adoptive family.
Betty’s adoptive parents punished her by beating and kicking her, scolding her and refuse her meals.

At school she did fine, but her teachers had suspicions that all was not as it should be, at home, and eventually got the truth out of her. Her teacher, Louise, ended up becoming her foster mother. (more…)
