CFAB’s mission is to use our expertise and experience to ensure vulnerable children and families who are separated across international borders are given care and protection, no matter where they come from. As the only UK charity with a qualified team of international child protection professionals, we are uniquely placed to help children reunite safely with family.

Holt established the first international adoption program in South Korea.

In Korea, children waiting for permanent, loving families are typically 2-3 years old at the time they join their adoptive families and have moderate medical or developmental needs. Most are in nurturing foster families and receive exceptional in-country care while they wait to join their families. With a unique expertise cultivated over more than 65 years in Korea, our Korea team is well equipped to guide your family through the adoption process. We will work closely with you to anticipate needs, overcome obstacles and support you throughout your journey to welcome a child into your family.

Intake for the Korea program is currently closed and Holt’s Korea adoption program is not accepting standard process applications. Contact us at adopt@holtinternational.org to learn about Holt’s other country programs and the children who need families!

Children in Korea Who Need Families

• Children are on average 2-3 years old at the time they join their adoptive families.
• More boys than girls from Korea need families through international adoption, and families cannot specify a gender preference.
• Families must be open to a child with needs, including prenatal alcohol/tobacco exposure and developmental delays. Contact us at adopt@holtinternational.org for more information on common child needs.
• All children stay in nurturing foster families while they wait, and a significant amount of information is typically available about the child, including any known/reported history from the child’s birth family.
• Older children and those with more involved needs are featured on our waiting child photolisting.
• Children with few or no identified needs are adopted domestically in Korea. As a result, Holt needs families able to parent a child with more involved needs.

According to a senior police officer who spoke to DH, Kevin, the alleged fake doctor, operated a small clinic in Rajajinagar without a medical degree. Kevin was arrested on Wednesday.

Bengaluru: A fake doctor and a child trafficking agent were arrested in an illegal surrogacy and child trafficking operation uncovered by the Central Crime Branch (CCB) last week. According to a senior police officer who spoke to DH, Kevin, the alleged fake doctor, operated a small clinic in Rajajinagar without a medical degree. Kevin was arrested on Wednesday
 

Kevin used his connections to forge documents in the names of couples who were purchasing infants through a network of seven female agents, including Ramya, a senior police officer told DH. 

All the agents, including Hemalatha, Sharanya, Murugeshwari, Suhasini, Radha, Gomathi, Mahalakshmi, and Kannan Ramasami from Tamil Nadu, have been arrested.

The investigation revealed that Ramya convinced a relative, who had accidentally conceived and wanted to abort the child, to sell the baby instead. Ramya provided some money to her relative, took the baby, and sold it to a customer through the gang.

Police suspect that more individuals may be involved in the operation. A similar case has been reported in Erode, Tamil Nadu, and the CCB is investigating possible links between the gang members and that case.





 

There are three crore orphaned children in India, but only 3,500 to 4,000 children are available for adoption in a year and some 30,000 prospective parents have to wait for three years to bring home a child.

Taking note of this discrepancy, Chief Justice of India DY Chandrachud observed recently: "Why are they (Central Adoption Resource Authority) stalling adoptions? Why is CARA not doing it? Hundreds of children are awaiting adoption in the hope of a better life." The remarks were made when the Supreme Court was hearing two petitions flagging gaps that were delaying adoptions and making the entire process a sham. The practical difficulties of adoption were also highlighted in the court, with one of the judges bringing out the humane and human aspect and cost to the society.

CARA, a statutory body of the Ministry of Women and Child Development, functions as the central body for adoption of Indian children and is mandated to monitor and regulate in-country and inter-country adoptions. CARA primarily deals with the adoption of "orphan, abandoned and surrendered" children through its associated and recognised adoption agencies.

Due to red tape and lack of transparency, several thousand children are being deprived of home and the love of parents. With each month's delay, the children grow and age, and their chances of adoptability and adaptability diminishes. The prospective parents, too, lose their precious years doing cumbersome and complicated paperwork. Their financial condition suffers as they scout and wait their turn and are made to visit different adoption centres in the country.

The conditions of the shelter homes where these children are placed are also not hygienic, with funds and staff both short.

On Tuesday, November 28, 2023, the French police carried out a large raid against an international tantric yoga sect, the Atman federation, and arrested dozens of its executives for human trafficking, indoctrination and kidnapping. Among them is his guru, Gregorian Bivolaru, a Romanian who pushed female followers to sleep with him for supposed spiritual elevation. Our correspondent in India, Sébastien Farcis, investigated for two months and spoke with several victims. He reveals how this sect operates.

From our correspondent in India, 

The music is soft and soaring. Sunset light radiates the room, located on top of a hotel in Rishikesh, a holy city in northern India. In the center of the room, around fifty young people in casual clothes advance with their eyes closed, one after the other, in an aisle formed by their companions. With a hesitant step, everyone then lets themselves be caressed by the hands of the other practitioners. “  Connect with your feelings, disconnect your mind and feel the loving energies of others  ,” encourages the teacher, Purusha Ananda, dressed in a red tunic. This “  angel walk  ” represents the first exercise of a tantric yoga class, offered by the Mahasiddha school. An introductory session to encourage these young people to follow a three-day course, which begins the next morning: “  erotic energy is the source of our inner power ,” explains the teacher in a suave voice. And I will teach you how to control this energy to make love better, and to purify your emotions to transcendence and communion with God  .” 

The master's sexual gratification

This proposition seems tempting. But it hides a darker face: that of a sect of tantrism, the Atman federation, which pushes hundreds of young women towards unbridled sexual relations.

An organised crime cartel allegedly brought 13 children ‘regularly’ from Sri Lanka to Malaysia and from there, using false documents, they were trafficked to the rest of the world, including Europe. The chairman of the National Child Protection Authority, Udayakumara Amarasinghe: ‘Parents are given a certain amount of money to take them abroad even though this is a criminal offence’.

Colombo (AsiaNews) – Last week the Sri Lankan immigration and emigration control body filed a formal complaint with the human trafficking, smuggling and maritime crime investigation division of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) regarding an alleged ‘cartel’ of human trafficking – in particular children under 18 years of age, mostly Tamil citizens from the northern and eastern areas – who were allegedly brought to Malaysia.

Having arrived in the South-East Asian country “in a regular fashion” and often accompanied by their parents who receive money in exchange, traffickers would provide them with false passports with which these children would then be sold in other countries including France and the United Kingdom using counterfeit travel documents.
