From the Herald: &#8220;Laos is investigating a retired justice ministry official for allegedly selling adopted babies to Australians, Americans and Canadians. The official is accused of seeking out unwanted babies in poor rural areas, obtaining adoption papers and selling the infants to foreigners for up to $US5000 each, according to a Radio Free Asia report&#8230;.&#8221; Full link to the Morning Herald story: http://www.smh.com.au/world/baby-trafficking-probe-20120206-1r25x.html The Herald Sun story: http://www.heraldsun.com.au/news/breaking-news/laos-probes-sale-of-babies-to-australians/story-e6frf7jx-1226264078692 &#160; &#160;]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday, ABC news aired a piece by Lauren Gilger, Brian Ross, and ANgela M. Hill that shows a different side of an adoption struggle: the American adoptions of children taken from non-citizen immigrants. An excerpt: &#8220;A tug-of-war over a five-year-old boy is at the center of a national debate over parental rights and immigration, and a sign of what critics say is a growing trend in which immigrants are being deemed unfit parents because they crossed the border illegally. Seth and Melinda Moser of Carthage, Missouri say the boy they call Jamison is their son, and that returning him to his birth mother after five years will cause him untold harm. &#8220;I could not love him more, had he come out of me physically,&#8221; Melinda Moser said in an interview with a Missouri television station. &#8220;I can only imagine the trauma that he would go through in feeling like people that did love him have betrayed him, you know?&#8221; His birth mother, Encarnacion Bail Romero, says Carlos was taken from her against her will while she was in federal custody for an immigration-related crime, and hopes to regain custody in a trial that starts later this month. &#8220;I&#8217;m his mother,... ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The United States has determined that it will not resume intercountry adoptions in Vietnam on February 1, 2012, when the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption will enter into force there. Despite Vietnam&#8217;s initiatives to strengthen its child welfare system and ensure the integrity of its domestic and international adoption process, it does not yet have a fully Hague compliant process in place. We continue to caution adoption service providers and prospective adoptive parents that, to ensure that adoptions from Vietnam will be compliant with the Convention, important steps must still take place before intercountry adoptions between the United States and Vietnam resume. Adoption Service Providers should not initiate or claim to initiate, adoption programs in Vietnam until they receive notification from the Department of State that it has resumed adoptions in Vietnam.&#8221; Read the full bulletin from the State Department here: http://adoption.state.gov/country_information/country_specific_alerts_notices.php?alert_notice_type=notices&#38;alert_notice_file=vietnam_4]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An article today by Sandra Valdéz in Guatemala&#8217;s Prensa Libre alleges that child trafficking for adoption is still occurring in Guatemala. Valdez cites a case where a teenage mother was paid 5,000 Quetzales for her child, who was then brought to the United States. She also writes that pregnant women are traveling  to other nearby countries like El Salvador and Nicaragua  to relinquish and/or sell children for adoption. &#8220;Nicolás Pacheco, presidente de la referida organización, aseguró que El Salvador, Honduras y Nicaragua son algunos de los países hacia donde viajan mujeres embarazadas para dar a luz y dar a los niños en adopción. Leonel Dubón, de Refugio de la Niñez, dijo que la compra de niños continúa, con la diferencia de que ahora sacan a las madres a otros países para que nazcan allí los bebés, aunque la relación comienza con la manutención de la madre desde el embarazo. Este nuevo método se detectó con el hallazgo de 13 cuerpos congelados de recién nacidos, en el hospital de Cobán, Alta Verapaz. Según Dubón, el hecho de que hubiera cadáveres de niños en ese nosocomio sin ser reclamados indica que pueden darse adopciones irregulares sin que las autoridades se percaten de ello&#8230;&#8221;... ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;The U.S. Embassy in Honduras informs citizens that the Instituto Hondureño de la Niñez y la Familia (IHNFA ) has barred two U.S. adoption agencies from the local adoption process, effective immediately.  The IHNFA will no longer approve adoption requests filed by families  who utilized the agencies to facilitate the adoption of a local child, as the agencies are no longer registered in Honduras.  Only adoptions approved by the IHNFA can be processed for Immigrant Visas, as the IHNFA is the Government of Honduras’ Central Adoption Authority. The following U.S. adoption agencies are no longer accredited in Honduras: 1.            Living Hope Adoption Agency, IHNFA’s resolution SG-016-2011 2.            Gladney Center for Adoption, IHNFA’s resolution SG-017-2011&#8243; Read the full bulletin here: http://honduras.usembassy.gov/message_013012.html]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the AFP today: Victims of a baby-stealing policy approved by Francisco Franco&#8217;s dictatorship demanded Friday that Spain&#8217;s attorney general&#8217;s office fully investigate the alleged theft of hundreds of newborns. Three organisations that fight for the stolen children and their families delivered a petition with 89,666 signatures, calling on the attorney-general&#8217;s office to stop shelving inquiries and reopen ones already closed. Over 1,400 cases of newborn babies who were allegedly taken from their mothers in hospitals and ended up with other families have been filed with the office over the past year and most have been shelved, according to the petition organisers.

Elliot Abrams testified by videoconference from Washington in the trial of former dictators Jorge Videla and Reynaldo Bignone and other military and police figures accused of organizing the theft of babies from women who were detained and then executed in the 1976-1983 junta&#8217;s torture centers. Abrams said U.S. officials were aware that some children had been taken and then illegally adopted by families loyal to the regime&#8230;.&#8221; Full link to story: http://abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory/us-diplomat-testifies-argentine-baby-thefts-15453481]]></description>

The trial, expected to close this year, is being closely watched by a group of women now in their 80s or 90s, known as the Grandmothers of Plaza de Mayo. For 30 years they have driven a very public effort to find stolen grandchildren and to bring their children&#8217;s killers to justice&#8230;&#8221; Read the full article here: http://www.womensenews.org/story/the-world/120122/stolen-babies-trial-awaits-us-documents?utm_source=email&#38;utm_medium=email&#38;utm_campaign=email]]></description>

It was the second adoption for Kelly, following one from Guatemala. She&#8217;d sought out a child from Ethiopia in the hopes of avoiding some of the ethical problems of adopting from Guatemala: widespread stories of birthmothers coerced to give up their babies and even payments and abductions at the hands of brokers procuring adoptees for unwitting U.S. parents.

		<description><![CDATA[Parents for Ethical Adoption Reform (PEAR) has posted a review by PEAR board member David Kruchkow on their website. An excerpt: &#8220;What Siegal has done with Finding Fernanda that makes her book a must-read is take a purely journalistic approach to the story she presents. She reports on what she learned without passing judgment. The reader can draw his own conclusions about motives, about who the good guys are and who the bad guys are, and the conclusions become devastatingly obvious. Stories like this are by their nature very convoluted, and Siegal does an amazing job of making the twists and turns as easy to follow as possible. Her preamble includes a section on the cast of characters which can serve as a reference should the reader get confused. A photojournalist by trade, Siegal uses one photo per chapter and each one is carefully chosen to supplement the story appropriately while having the most impact. What you’ll learn in the book is that international adoption involves a great imbalance of power. The wealth, privilege, and entitlement of prospective adoptive parents in developed Western receiving countries directly impacts the poverty and vulnerability of mothers in impoverished and underdeveloped sending countries, leading to... ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From the Department of State: &#8220;This Adoption Notice is a follow up to the Notice of September 27, 2011. The Government of Guatemala&#8217;s Consejo Nacional de Adopciones (CNA) has agreed to a process for certain adoption applications pending under the CNA&#8217;s processing authority. The U.S. Department of State and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) will contact affected families to provide detailed information regarding the next steps. We anticipate that the CNA may identify additional cases for processing at a later time. The general outline of the planned process is as follows: The CNA will initiate the process by providing the U.S. Embassy in Guatemala City with the names of children identified as ready to be finalized. The U.S. Embassy in Guatemala City will then notify the USCIS Guatemala City field office. USCIS Guatemala City will contact U.S. prospective adoptive parents individually to provide detailed instructions regarding the CNA application requirements and final USCIS processing. This process applies only to cases pending with the CNA&#8217;s processing authority and not to cases pending with the Procuraduria General de la Nacion (PGN) as &#8220;notario&#8221; cases. We anticipate that the CNA will process cases on an ongoing basis. Families who have questions about the process may email... ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s a new Spanish news documentary called &#8220;Children Without Faces,&#8221; produced by the media outlet RTVE in Spain. Here&#8217;s their description of the piece: &#8220;Las redes de crimen organizado extienden sus tentáculos sobre la trata de seres humanos y la explotación infantil casi al mismo ritmo que las adopciones internaciones se convierten en negocios rentables en los países menos desarrollados. Cada vez hay más casos de adopciones, que parecen dentro de la legalidad en el país de origen, pero que esconden historias dramáticas de secuestros de menores. Un ejemplo es Guatemala: Es uno de los países del mundo con mayor porcentaje de niños robados y se calcula que unos 5 mil salen al año del país para ser adoptados. Para evitarlo, algunos países de acogida, entre ellos España, piden la aprobación de una Ley que obligue a identificar con pruebas de ADN a todos los niños que abandonen Guatemala.&#8221; A rough translation: &#8221;Organized crime networks extended their reach into human trafficking and child exploitation at almost the same time as adoptions become profitable business in less developed countries. There have been increased cases of adoption that are legal within their country of origin, but hide dramatic accounts of child abduction. An example is Guatemala: one of the countries in the world with the highest percentage of stolen children, and an... ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;A former lawyer has been jailed for five months for her part in an international baby-selling ring that paid women to have babies to sell. The first of three women who pleaded guilty to the scheme, Hilary Neiman, 32, from Maryland was sentenced on Thursday and condemned for preying on couples. She was ordered by U.S. District Judge Anthony Battaglia to forfeit $133,000 &#8211; profits that prosecutors said she made from her role in the fraud, reports the San Diego Tribune.&#8221; Read the full piece: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2069555/Lawyer-jailed-international-baby-selling-ring-charged-American-couples-100-000-child.html#ixzz1fXLe9G12]]></description>

In November a jury in U.S. state Iowa decided that Brian Dykstra was not guilty of second-degree murder following the death of his 21-month year old son Isaac in 2005, U.S. news reports said. &#8220;The American authorities have only now informed us (of this case). For almost six years they were silent and said nothing. It is inexcusable,&#8221; Astakhov told Reuters in an interview.&#8221; Read the full article here: http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/12/02/us-russia-usa-adoption-idUSTRE7B12FF20111202]]></description>

An excerpt: &#8220;&#8230;Evidence of corruption within Ethiopia&#8217;s adoption system means the Franklins and other American and European couples are facing much longer wait times and greater difficulty in bringing children back from that country. Adoption agencies and orphanages there are closing fast. Just in the past year, the number of U.S. adoptions of Ethiopian children has dropped 30 percent. It&#8217;s become a familiar story in the world of international adoption. The nations that traditionally have sent the most children to the United States, including South Korea, China, Guatemala and Russia, have all cut back&#8230;&#8221; Read or listen to the full piece here: http://www.npr.org/2011/11/17/142344354/fewer-babies-available-for-adoption-by-u-s-parents]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[An excerpt from an article in the November 7, 2011 edition of the Times of India, &#8220;46 more children with parents identified in Sulur orphanage,&#8221; by P. Sreedharan: &#8220;COIMBATORE: The ongoing probe into the alleged international child trafficking racket involving an orphanage here after 23 Nepalese children were found in their custody under the guise of orphans has become murkier. The Child Welfare Committee probing into the institution has identified and sent 46 more children to their rightful parents so far. More such cases are expected to crop up in the coming days claimed officials involved in the process. Majority of these children were from Assam and Bihar. Even though they were not orphans, they were lodged at Michael Job Centre for Orphan Girls in Sulur.&#8221; Link to full story: http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/coimbatore/46-more-children-with-parents-identified-in-Sulur-orphanage/articleshow/10637622.cms]]></description>
