Vrouw sleept Nederlandse staat voor de rechter om 'schimmige' adoptie

Dilani Butink NIEUWSUUR

Voor het eerst sleept een geadopteerde de Nederlandse overheid voor de rechter, omdat ze vindt dat die meer had moeten doen om frauduleuze adopties te voorkomen. Volgens de vrouw zijn haar geboortepapieren in Sri Lanka vervalst, waardoor het voor haar onmogelijk is haar biologische ouders op te sporen. In een dagvaarding eist ze dat de overheid schuld erkent, haar schadeloos stelt en een dna-databank opricht voor geadopteerden uit Sri Lanka.

De 26-jarige Dilani Butink werd geboren in Sri Lanka. Toen ze een paar jaar geleden terugging naar haar geboorteland ontdekte ze dat het documentnummer op haar geboortepapieren toebehoort aan een ander kind. De adoptieprocedure in 1992 verliep dan ook schimmig. Haar ouders zouden een jongetje ophalen in Sri Lanka, maar die bleek bij aankomst niet meer beschikbaar. Een tussenpersoon regelde daarop dat Butink geadopteerd kon worden.

As per court records, the woman filed a petition in 2018, taking “shelter under this new phrase” of the JJ Act, 2015. The scope of guardianship is “limited” once the minor turns 18.

District Judge Girish Kathpalia said it would be in the best interest of the child that she be given in adoption to the woman, who has been taking care of her for more than a decade as her appointed guardian.

EW DELHI: A minor, who was abandoned by her parents in 2004 at the age of two, has seen a ray of hope as a Delhi court has allowed her 60-year-old guardian to adopt the child despite "procedural deficiencies" as the two nurtured a strong mother-daughter bond.

District Judge Girish Kathpalia said it would be in the best interest of the child that she be given in adoption to the woman, who has been taking care of her for more than a decade as her appointed guardian.

The strong bond shared by the girl, now 16, and the woman who was made her guardian by an adoption society, which was taking care of the child, convinced the court to allow the elderly's plea for adoption.

The court noted that since the woman and the child have cultivated and nurtured a strong mother-daughter bond for about a decade and a half, directing her now to move the adoption application before the society, followed by the home and child study report, would be a "meaningless exercise".

The case against a former Ottawa aid worker, accused of victimizing several Nepalese boys, is the latest black mark for the international aid community, which has seen several organizations roiled by allegations of workers committing sex crimes against children.

Paul McCarthy, 62, was granted bail Wednesday, on a condition of house arrest, after he was charged last week with multiple child pornography offences and one count of luring a child.

McCarthy was stopped by the Canada Border Services Agency in mid-December as he returned home following a volunteer mission to an orphanage in Nepal.

Authorities said the investigation led to the identification of five alleged victims: all Nepalese boys under the age of 16.

In the 1990s, McCarthy worked for disaster relief organization CARE Canada where he was director for Indonesia between 1992 and 1995.

It’s a relaxed Saturday morning for nine-year-old Lilliput. It’s an off day at school, the usually harsh Rajasthan sun is calm behind an overcast sky, and the grey Aravalis that surround her home are a lush green from the first monsoon showers. “Cycle chalana sabse achcha lagta hai (I love cycling the most),” she says, pedalling down the street outside her foster home at Chitrakoot Nagar on the outskirts of Udaipur, the city of lakes.

“Uff, iski chain nikal gayi (the cycle chain has come off),” she says softly, her smile now turned upside down, much like the sad emoji, as she drags the small bike with support wheels inside the house. Lilliput, as her new family calls her affectionately, is one of the first children to be taken into foster care after the Centre issued model guidelines on foster care in 2016.

In 2008, the police had found her in Chittorgarh. An unclaimed child born to a victim of sexual assault, she was barely a month old then. She spent nine years in a care home, before being recently brought in by a 52-year-old Air-India duty manager and her 11-year-old daughter, into their home.

Legal issues must not derail whistleblower protection law

MEPs and activists reacted with dismay, at today’s Greens and S&D ‘Protecting EU Whistleblowers: A Race Against Time’ conference, to the suggestion that the opinion of the Council’s legal services, on the whistleblowers protection file, could delay or even derail the proposed legislation.

Verein is planning new projects for Romania

The Romania working group is planning new projects in Transylvania for 2019 - the construction of five family houses for orphans will now be followed by circus performances and the refurbishment of the afternoon school.

Ehlershausen / Hemmingen

Right now is a quarter of a century of intensive work for the project "A House for Tomorrow" behind Wolfgang Gerth from Ehlershausen and Günther Heinken from Hemmingen - as the assets of the Association Romania Working Group Hemmingen (RAGH) are already planning new projects. "We have already achieved a lot, but there is still a lot of work to do", Heinken summarizes the experience of the past 25 years.

The initiative for the project around the town Christuru Seculesc (Keresztur) was given at the beginning of the nineties by a visit of Wolfgang Gerts and his second wife Martina, who wanted to give a new home to Romanian orphans with an adoption. "The conditions in the home that we visited had shaken us," recalls the Ehlershausener. He tells of up to 30 children, some of whom had to sleep in triple beds in a hall, from darkened rooms, where boys and girls between the ages of three and 18 spent their days in bed, from lack of perspective.
