Unlimited adoption The growth of illegal adoption practices

The adoption of foreign children boomed in the 1960s and 1970s thanks to parental couples fighting for their own happiness and that of the world. At first the government only works against it, but later seems to go to the other extreme.

'It has already been shown several times that false medical certificates regarding birth and false birth certificates are easily available in Uwent.' It is November 20, 1972 when a senior official of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs writes this to the Ambassador to Brazil, Barn Leopold Quarles van Ufford.

The reason for this scrubbing, distributed on behalf of Minister Norbert Schmelzer (KVP), is an affair that took place the year before. Then a Dutch couple travels to the southern state of Paraná and has a Brazilian toddler of two months registered there. With the obtained birth certificate, the baby can effortlessly be registered as your own child at the registry office after returning to the Netherlands.
