The European Court of Human Rights condemned Luxembourg in 2007 for banning full adoption for single women. However, fifteen years later, the legislation still has not changed.

Old laws always contain some surprises, articles whose purpose has become obsolete or regressive. In Luxembourg, it was only in 1973 that women were legally allowed to open a bank account without their husbands, only in 1978 that they were able to terminate an unwanted pregnancy without being prosecuted, only in 2016 that unequal pay between women and men was punished by law. And then there are those articles of law that continue to exist in plain sight. Like the adoption law which, in its 1989 version, still reserved the possibility of adopting a child only to married couples.

This was without counting on the perseverance of Jeanne Wagner, a name that has long haunted the corridors of the Ministry of the Family. In 1995, Ms Wagner was 28 years old and began the process of adopting a child. "It may sound strange, but ever since I was a little girl, I wanted to adopt children", says the bubbly woman, now a grandmother. "It was always my dream". The young woman first turned to the Red Cross, "which refused me on the pretext that I was not married", then to the Luxembourg-Peru association. With the support of Luxembourg's honorary consul in Peru, Haydée Fischbach, she obtained the green light from Peru and packed her bags to pick up a three-year-old girl. "A few days before my departure, the Ministry of the Family contacted Mrs Fischbach to forbid her from sending me away and entrusting me with a child. They even told her that she could go to prison!"

"Mum didn't tell me everything so I wouldn't worry, but enough so that I knew she was fighting for me."

From drug dealer to businessman, the author takes us on a journey through his past.

Adopted by French parents in Vietnam in 1995 at the GoVap orphanage in Ho Chi Minh, Leo Nardecchia tells us about his relationship to adoption , the racism he suffered , the questions that gnawed at him and the return to his country of birth.

This book is dark and plunges us into the depths of an inner war.

Leo Nardecchia had a happy childhood, a dark adolescence and he is building today despite a painful past that is difficult to accept. He opens up openly, tells everything, or almost, without any taboos, or almost. He offers us his point of view on adoption, tells his story and the elements that marked his life. His inner struggle and the trauma he suffered left indelible scars and built the man who wrote this autobiography.

From Monday 23 May, in We are family , Lidewij Nuitten will look for her own roots and those of others, and she will try to get closer to her own family.

Last year, Lidewij appeared in the three-part series Where is Mark? looking for her first childhood love. It became a touching story in which she got help from several adopted people who shared their experiences with her. After the broadcasts, Lidewijs mailbox was flooded with messages from viewers who were touched by the program. That made her realize how important knowing your roots is for your identity. That is why Lidewij wants to learn more about her own ancestors and wonders where she actually came from and how far back in time she can go.

From a DNA sample to a spectacular appeal in Chinese media

In We are family, Lidewij not only goes in search of her own roots; she also helps Noëmi and Anéline in their search for their biological parents. The two Chinese adoptive sisters from Leuven would like to find lost relatives, but have no idea how to get started. What starts with a small sample of DNA quickly escalates into a major search campaign with a spectacular appeal in the Chinese media.

Alejandro knew as a child that he was adopted. But it wasn't until he was in his early 30s that he found out the bitter truth: after he was born, his Chilean mother was told that her child had died. But the baby was placed for adoption in the Netherlands. Alejandro made every effort to learn Spanish well in order to piece together the fragments of his story.

Around 20,000 children from Chile were adopted abroad between the 1970s and the mid-1990s. It is only gradually becoming clear that most of these adoptions did not go smoothly.

Madurai: Police on Tuesday arrested a 19-year-old woman and her husband for murdering her adoptive father at Chinna Chokkikulam on Monday. The deceased, S Krishnaram, 73, was staying with his wife, Pankajavalli at Kamala Second Street. Around 10 months ago, Krishnaram's adoptive daughter Nivedha got married to Hariharan of Managiri in Sivaganga district, following a love affair. There were disputes between Nivedha and Krishnaram after the marriage and he asked her not to visit his house. The couple had been living in Managiri since then.

Tallakulam police registered a case and the special team formed to investigate the murder zeroed in on the culprits. They said the woman was disgruntled after Krishnaram did not let her into the house and felt she would not get her inheritance as well. Hence she planned the murder with her husband Hariharan and his friend Suresh. Around 10pm on Monday, the trio murdered Krishnaram and made away with 23 sovereigns of gold jewellery from the house. City police commissioner T Senthilkumar lauded the efforts of the police team in arresting the accused within 24 hours.s.com/articleshow/91479076.cms?utm_source=contentofinterest&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst

Her low-gifted adoptive parents let Mariël (39) know almost daily that she did not live up to expectations. The foster family where she ended up turned out to be her salvation. “I was a lonely girl with a broken heart.”

“I was four months old when I came to the Netherlands. My adoptive parents could not have children and the church helped them financially to bring me to the Netherlands. In addition to financial support, the church also promised spiritual help. 'We are behind this', was the message.

I noticed from a very young age that things were different at our house. When I wanted to play after school, it always happened at other children's houses. 'Take her with you. She can also continue to eat,' my adoptive mother would say to the other parents. As long as I wouldn't cause her too much trouble, it soon became clear to me. She also said it literally: that afterwards she would rather not have had me. I had cost my parents and the Church a lot of money and not live up to that amount. When I was very little, I had no idea of ??the impact of those words. I had been very expensive, I was told almost daily. I liked that quite a bit.”

“My adoptive mother often stayed in bed until half past eleven. By then I had already got up and walked around the house on my own in my pajamas. I didn't always go to school. My adoptive father would take me to work at a sheltered workshop. Then he said I was on vacation. Or a day off. In those early years, the school allowed that. Nobody intervened.

The Karnataka High Court ruled that adopting a child directly from the parents, where the ward is not abandoned or surrendered or an orphan, does not constitute an offence.

Justice Hemanth Chandanagoudar, in a recent order, quashed the proceedings against four people in the Magistrate court. “In the absence of any declaration that the child is deserted by his biological or adoptive parents or guardians, the filing of the charge sheet is also without any substance,” the High Court said.

Banu Begum, a resident of Koppal, had delivered twin girls in 2018, and one of these children was given in adoption by her and her husband Mahiboobsab Nabisab to the couple Zareena Begum and Shaakshavali Abdulsab Hudedamani.

From disseminating Edward Snowden’s damning NSA leaks to becoming a leading critic of far-right Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, American journalist Glenn Greenwald and his husband, Brazilian Congressman David Miranda, are no strangers to controversy. Nor are they rattled by its attendant fiery chain reactions: It was, after all, a spilled drink in the sands of Ipanema that sparked a rapid relationship and, eventually, a long, arduous battle for the future of Brazil.

Here, the couple reflect on parenting, politics, and personal measures they’ve had to take at the precipice of the country’s bitter political divide.

ON THEIR FIRST MEETING AND FAMILY

David Miranda: We met on Ipanema beach, in front of Farme de Amoedo street, where I was playing footvolley. I kicked a ball straight into Glenn’s drink and spilled it, so I went up to him and apologized. We both took a good look at each other. It was love at first sight. And here we are together, stronger than ever, after 17 years.

Glenn Greenwald: I was going through a midlife crisis and I wanted to figure out my life. So, I rented an apartment for seven weeks in Rio, and I met David on the first day. When you go to Rio, you’re not looking for marriage — you’re not really looking for anything other than some fun. But love often happens when you are not looking for it, and right from the beginning I felt he was the one for me. That feeling has grown every day, right up to this day.
