Jason Carney, the founder of the controversial Malawi registered NGO exposed by PIJ for exploiting Malawi children has been arrested by authorities in the US.

The specific charges against Carney, whose organization has been the subject of two major PIJ investigations around the use of its finances and illegal adoptions in Malawi, are yet to be released.

14 cantons want to work together better in the future to help adopted people find their biological parents. Because not everything always went smoothly. A look back.

Why were there so many international adoptions in the past?

As economic and social conditions improved in Switzerland – especially for single mothers – there were fewer children available for adoption. Some Swiss couples therefore looked for children abroad. From the 1960s onwards there was a wave of adoptions from Asian countries, later from South America and Africa and from 1989 from Eastern Europe.

Unwanted childlessness was not always the reason. Some Swiss couples also saw adoption as a "humanitarian act". For social or religious reasons, they wanted to free children from poverty and offer them a better life with educational opportunities.

Jason Carney ran 2nd Milk charity and found orphans in Malawi for U.S. families

Federal authorities have arrested Jason Carney, an American who ran a charity to feed African orphans and brokered adoptions in Malawi for U.S. clients.

Carney was detained Friday in Arkansas in connection with a U.S. State Department investigation, according to a local law-enforcement record and people familiar with the matter. Carney and his wife couldn’t immediately be reached for comment. It couldn’t immediately be learned what charges he faced. 

The Wall Street Journal in August reported that the State Department was investigating Carney and his charity called 2nd Milk. Officials suspected Carney was using money raised for the charity to pay for his travel and lifestyle, according to an affidavit filed by a State Department investigator.

The Journal investigation found former employees at 2nd Milk who said that Carney represented to U.S. families that certain babies were available for adoption, even though Carney hadn’t gotten proper approval from their biological families or the Malawian ministry. 

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — A South Korean court on Wednesday cleared the government and an adoption agency of all liability in a lawsuit filed by a 49-year-old Korean man whose traumatic adoption journey led to an abusive childhood in the United States and ultimately his deportation to South Korea in 2016 after legal troubles.

In exonerating the South Korean government over the case of Adam Crapser, whose U.S. adoptive parents never secured his citizenship, the Seoul High Court overturned a 2023 lower court ruling that ordered his adoption agency, Holt Children’s Services, to pay him 100 million won ($68,600) in damages. The Seoul Central District Court ruled that Holt should have informed his adoptive parents that they needed to take additional steps to secure his citizenship after his adoption was finalized in their state court, but didn’t find the government at fault for Crapser’s plight.

The full text of the Seoul High Court’s ruling wasn’t immediately available. Crapser didn’t attend the ruling.

Crapser, a married father of two, says he was abused and abandoned by two different adoptive families who never filed his citizenship papers. He got into trouble with the law — once for breaking into his adoptive parents’ home to retrieve the Bible that came with him from the orphanage — and was deported because he was not a U.S. citizen.

In their defense against the accusations of malfeasance raised by Crapser, the government and Holt both cited a 1970s adoption law established under a military dictatorship that was designed to speed up adoptions.

The closure of a Malawian-registered Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO), LongArm Child Care, has opened a can of worms amid allegations that it could be linked to an extortion plot involving the local managers and officials from the Social Welfare Department, who put pressure on the American funders of the NGO to make payments amid threats of closure.

Sneha, a 21-year-old Spanish woman, has traveled to Bhubaneswar, India, to find her biological mother before returning to Spain. Adopted in 2010 along with her brother from a local orphanage, Sneha is determined to uncover her origins despite minimal information.

NEW DELHI: A young Spanish woman is on a search for her biological mother in Odisha's capital Bhubaneswar before returning to Spain on Monday.

With minimal information about her background, 21-year-old Sneha, who researches children's education, travelled to India to discover her origins. Her adoptive Spanish parents, Gema Vidal and Juan Josh, backed her decision, with Gema joining her journey to her native state. The couple had adopted Sneha and her brother Somu in 2010 from a Bhubaneswar orphanage, where they lived after their mother Banalata Das left them in 2005.

“The purpose of my journey from Spain to Bhubaneswar is to find my biological parents, especially my mother. I want to find her and meet her. I am fully prepared for the journey even if it is difficult,” Sneha told PTI.

When questioned about confronting her biological mother about the abandonment, Sneha remained silent. She was just over one year old, whilst her brother was only months old when it happened.
