Were infants stolen from hospitals?

In the 1980s, more than 700 Sri Lankan children were believed to have been illegally adopted into Switzerland. Also involved was Alice Honegger from Bollingen SG.

The canton of St. Gallen has now published a report on the Sri Lanka adoptions. The 74-page report, which is available on the Internet, should help to work up the controversial Auslandadoptionen, as it says in a statement of the St. Gallen State Chancellery from Monday. The canton wants to support those concerned in the determination of the correct information of their biological parents.

The caregiver Alice Honegger (1915-1997) had from 1948 for almost 50 years in Bollingen, which now belongs to the city Rapperswil -Jona, with official approval, foreign adopted children to Swiss parents. There should have been many illegal adoptions.

Infants stolen

NEW DELHI: At a time when the government is finalising a draft national child protection policy to hold organisations and their staff accountable for

both preventing and reporting child abuse, an analysis of the data drawn from a mapping of 9,589 children homes from across the country in 2016-17

shows that most homes lack a child protection policy (CPP).

An analysis of the data drawn from homes in 2016-17 shows that while homes in Chandigarh and Andaman & Nicobar Islands had no child protection

policy, in Chhattisgarh only 4.9 % homes were found to have a policy and in Manipur, the percentage was a poor 1.6%

Shanghai. The Chinese government said it will make "a greater effort" to help children born in China and adopted by foreign families to explore their roots and find their biological parents, the government newspaper China Daily reported today.

More effort will be made to help children adopted by foreign families explore their Chinese roots, a senior official said on Friday.

That includes easier access to their pre-adoption archives, and arranging meetings with their former caretakers in orphanages, said Ni Chunxia, deputy-director of the Department of Social Affairs of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

"Local authorities should continue the nonprofit nature of such assistance and try to offer assistance that is more humane, professional and tailored with the aim of helping foster children to grow healthily," she said.

Adoptees can find local civil affairs bureaus' contact information at cccwa.mca.gov.cn?the official website of the China Center for Children's Welfare and Adoption, Ni added.

The pledge came after the ministry released a regulation in November aiming to facilitate such endeavors. According to the new rules, which took effect this month, local authorities are not allowed to charge fees for such services.

Movie Report: Amy or Tigist? - An adoption story

Katrine W. Kjær is a document instructor and known for the film "The Adoption's Prize" (2012).

It is about the 4-year-old Masho and her 2-year-old little brother who are adopted away from Ethiopia to a family in Holbæk. The project does not go very well. Masho can't fall because the connection between child and adoptive parents fails and she ends up being sent to orphanages.

The fact that the case is so far from a single case of harassment is documented by a number of other adoption examples. One of them, Katrine W. Kjær has chosen to make another movie and given it the title "Amy's Will".
