Rebecca Trimble received a rare and long-awaited Christmas present this year. On December 15, the Senate unanimously passed a private bill for Trimble. The bill was introduced by the late Don Young and passed the House unanimously on June 7. President Joe Biden signed it into law today. The bill allows Trimble, who was inadvertently brought into the U.S. illegally by her adoptive parents when she was only days old, to remain in the country indefinitely.

Private bills, which benefit a specific individual or corporation, are extremely rare. Since 2008, 160 private relief bills have been referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. Just 22 have passed the House, and only two have been signed into law. The last one signed into law before Trimble’s was in 2012. A private bill for Trimble passed the House during the last Congress but did not make it through the Senate, requiring the process to start over.

On February 10, 2020, Trimble received a letter from the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) informing her she has 33 days to leave the country. At the time she was living in Bethel with her husband John, an Army dentist, and their two children.

Trimble, who was born in Mexico, was adopted by an American couple when she was a baby. She was raised in the Pacific Northwest and grew up believing she was an American citizen. But in 2012 when she tried to get a REAL ID, the nightmare started. The government said her adoption had not been performed legally, and because she had voted in 2008 she had broken the law.

The Landmine broke this story in March of 2020. Four months later, the New York Times did a featured story on Rebecca’s situation. This Landmine article explains the long and arduous process the Trimble family has faced over the last ten years.

As we already wrote, four couples from Croatia were arrested in Zambia, and eight people have been in custody for more than three weeks on suspicion of human trafficking after they planned to adopt children from the Congo. One child is one year and three months old, and the other three are three years old, and it is suspected that those arrested had forged documents.

Among those arrested are 44-year-old Damir Magi? (44) and his wife Nadica Magi? (45), guitarist Hladni piva, Zoran Suboši? (52) and his wife Azra Imamovi? Suboši? (41), employee of the Constitutional Court, Zagreb veterinarian Ladislav Perši? (42). with her husband Aleksandra (40) and LGBTIQ activist and councilor Mozemo, who was born under the name Dalija Pintari? (45) and her partner Ivona (36), so the question arises why the media hide their identities, even though the Zambian media reported the police report with their full names and surnames. In fact, Jutarnji list initially published the names, but after someone intervened, it decided to hide them.

Dalija Pintari? was originally a lesbian, and then she decided to make the so-called "gender surgery" and "becoming a man", therefore she changed her name to Noah Pintari?, and then to Noah Kraljevi?. She could therefore be, after the first man in a women's prison, the first case of a woman in a men's prison.

Zambia: according to information from Zambian portals, among the 4 couples who were arrested at the beginning of the month, there is also an LGBTQ activist, DP, former co-president of the Trans Aid association, now the kolekTIRV association . She became known to the Croatian public for advocating transgenderism and presenting her personal "transition" to the male gender and changing her name to NP, and then to N.K.

The Zambian media published the names and surnames of all those detained and the children who were with them. Jutarnji list announced yesterday that the 52-year-old guitarist of Hladni piva is among those detained.

Eight Croats were arrested on December 6 and detained in Zambia, a country with 19 million inhabitants in southern Africa. They were arrested at Simon Mwansa Kapwepwe Airport with four children aged between one and three. They were taken to the police station on the basis of a report, and because of the suspicion that they brought four children to Zambia from the Congo with falsified documents, writes Zambia News. The authorities there suspect trafficking in people, that is, children . The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has confirmed that the four married couples have been detained in Zambia for 16 days. They were visited by an employee of the Croatian consular office of the Croatian embassy in Pretoria.

Narod.hr sent an inquiry to the Ministry of Labour, Pension System, Family and Social Policy about the couples detained in Zambia - whether they are registered as potential adoptive parents in the Republic of Croatia and about the validity of the child adoption procedure in accordance with the laws and the Constitution of the Republic of Croatia and international conventions. In a separate question, we asked for information about a possible procedure in Croatia for the couple NK and I.K, that is, two female persons, one of whom underwent the transition to the male gender and, according to some media, came to Zambia to adopt a child from the Congo. We will publish the Ministry's answers to these questions as soon as we receive them.

Zambia and the Congo: international adoption and the Convention

BAREILLY: The Delhi high court (HC) has issued an “impleading notice” to the Uttar Pradesh government for “not adhering to an earlier judgment given by the court” regarding the adoption of a “miracle baby” (the court addressed her only as ‘S’) and “delaying the process by harassing the staff of the orphanage in Bareilly where she is housed”, reports Kanwardeep Singh.

The court order, issued on December 23 and made available on Saturday, came a few days after TOI reported that some right-wing activists had lodged an FIR against the orphanage and the Malta-based couple who had adopted the baby, charging them with “wrongful conversion”.

The HC further directed the UP government “not to harass the orphanage staff and stop the proceedings under the unlawful conversion law in the FIR”. It also directed the UP administration “not to create hurdles in the baby’s adoption process or her journey to Malta with her adoptive parents”.

The baby was found abandoned in an earthen pot, having survived a cold night, in Bareilly during the winter of 2019.

She was subsequently referred to as a “miracle baby”.

No place was found in a foster family for 130 babies between 0 and 1 year old who had to be placed in the past year. So says the non-profit organization Famille d'accueil, which covers 16 foster organizations in the French community.

Of the 166 applications for long-term shelter, only 36 have resulted in a suitable solution in the past year. The other babies, ie 130, could not be taken care of in a family context, the non-profit organization regrets.

The children are then placed in a nursery or moved from one emergency service to another while waiting for a place in a suitable foster home, says Famille d'accueil. In some cases, healthy babies have to stay in a hospital for months or even end up being returned to the family where they were taken and may be in danger.

The organization emphasizes that the children's rights treaty stipulates that children who have to be removed from their families can grow up elsewhere in a family environment. Famille d'accueil is therefore actively looking for more foster families.

Bareilly (Uttar Pradesh), Dec 19 (IANS): An FIR has been filed against a Malta-based couple and an orphanage official here for 'wrongful conversion' of an abandoned baby girl who was adopted by the foreigners.

Three years ago, the baby was found abandoned in an earthen pot here and was adopted by the couple.

Right-wing activists have now lodged an FIR against the orphanage in Bareilly and the Malta-based couple that has adopted the baby.

This comes a week before the child, named Sita, was supposed to travel to Malta.

The FIR has been registered under IPC sections 420 (cheating),467 (forgery), 468 (forgery for purpose of cheating), 471 (fraudulently using document as genuine which is actually a forged one) along with sections 3 and 5 (1) of UP Prohibition of Unlawful Conversion of Religion Act, 2021 against an orphanage official, child's adoptive parents and an unidentified person on the complaint of Bareilly-based activist Anshu Kumar.

When Barbara Quee discovers that the Colombian family that the TV show Spoorloos found for her is not her biological family, she turns out not to be the only 'mismatch'.

“From a young age I already know that I come from Colombia and that they speak Spanish there. I was twelve when I started Spanish lessons. I didn't want to be tongue-tied if I ever found my Colombian family. When you meet for the first time, don't you want to be able to communicate?

I already knew then that I wanted to look for my biological family one day. I had a nice and stable childhood, but I was always curious about my origins and who I look like. From whom would I get my curls, my looks and my character? Other than my biological mother's name and age, I had no information about her. No picture, nothing at all. Now, 26 years after my first Spanish lesson, I still haven't found my biological mother.

The television program Spoorloos went looking for me in 2005 and came back with the story that they had been in contact with my mother, but that she had to go into hiding because she was in trouble. Drug criminals would have used her identity. If she could prove her innocence, she could go public again and contact me. That didn't happen, of course not, because I now know that this story, and therefore the search via Spoorloos , is not correct.
