The CIA file on Wilhelm Krichbaum is a lengthy one consisting of one folder of redacted photocopies. The redactions are small and primarily involve deletions of names of CIA employees or sources, and some foreign government information (FGI) is redacted as well. Some documents with potentially useful data (i.e., photocopies of data cards citing MGLA messages) are poor copies, although they may be the best available from poor microfilm.

Relinquished

Jayanti was born in 1995 in Nagpur, a city in India. Jayanti's mother was only 21 years old when she got her. She then gave her up because she was unmarried and in India you are only allowed to have children if you are married. Furthermore, Jayanti has very little information about her biological mother and nothing about her biological father at all, because he probably doesn't even know about her existence. Jayanti was first taken to the children's home in Nagpur. Here she also got her name from a social worker. The name Jayanti means: Victorious.

Adoption

As soon as there was talk of adoption, Jayanti was taken to the Bal Anand children's home in Bombay. When she was 1.5 years old, she flew to the Netherlands together with three other girls. This was done under the supervision of two Wereldkinderen employees. Jayanti was adopted by Sjaak and Astrid. Jayanti: “These are two incredibly sweet and caring people who I really see as my parents.” After a while, Jayanti's parents separated and her father got a new wife and her mother got a new husband. She also got a sister. The divorce was difficult for Jayanti at times, but she can't imagine never meeting them.

Situation of adopted children from Uganda

03.August.2016 · Posted in APO-OPA

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs Didier Reynders regrets the method used by the Flemish Centre for Adoption (Kind & Gezin), which reported this morning in a press release that the Belgian Embassy in Kampala (Uganda) refused an entry visa to nine parents, who wanted to leave with ten adopted children from Kampala to Belgium. He regrets especially that those nine parents are caught up in that situation.

The Flemish Centre for Adoption should take into account the applicable legal rules in Uganda.

The Embassy in Kampala received so far only for four of those ten children a visa application. Those were, according to the existing procedures concerning visa applications, timely forwarded for further processing to the Immigration Office (DVZ/ODE). DVZ/ODE is the competent authority that can take a decision in these matters. But the final decision for departure to our country lies in the hands of the Ugandan government.

Vlaams Centrum voor Adoptie bezorgd over 10 adopties uit Oeganda

3 augustus 2016

Op dit ogenblik verblijven er sinds midden juni 9 ouders voor 10 adoptiekinderen in Oeganda. Deze ouders wachten op een visum om met hun kinderen naar België te kunnen afreizen. 3 gezinnen hoopten maandag al het vliegtuig naar België te kunnen nemen maar omdat de Belgische ambassade het visum niet verleent, konden ze niet vertrekken. 6 andere gezinnen wachten op de afronding van hun dossier in Oeganda, maar vrezen in een gelijkaardig scenario terecht te komen.

The illegal and unethical forced adoption practices that commonly occurred in Australia through maternity homes, hospitals, adoption agencies and privately from the 1940s through to 1980s has affected thousands of people.

Research shows forced adoption can have long-term psychological impacts ranging from complex and pathological grief and loss to self-identity and attachment issues, anxiety and attachment disorders, personality disorders, and symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder.

In 2012, the Australian Institute of Family Studies (AIFS) conducted research into past adoption practices.

More than 1500 people participated in the study, including 823 adopted persons, 505 mothers, 94 adoptive parents, 94 other family members, 12 fathers and 58 service providers.

The study found mothers in labour had been tied to beds or held down while pillows or sheets were held up to obscure any view of their newborn baby.
