Operation Mercy Mercy/Die Adoption

Dokumentarfilm im Ersten: “Die Adoption”

Di, 7.7, 22:45 Uhr

Als wir, ACT,  „ Mercy Mercy“ gesehen haben, haben wir gedacht, den Fall greifen wir auf und helfen Sinkenesh und Hussein wieder Kontakt zu Ihren Kindern zu bekommen. Wir sind nach Äthiopien gereist und haben ihnen einen Anwalt zur Seite gestellt. Der Anwalt hat die Aufhebung von Masho´s Adoption vor Gericht beantragt. Der Fall ist immer noch vor Gericht anhängig.

Gleichzeit, es lag quasi direkt auf dem Weg, haben wir den anderen dänischen Fall aufgegriffen. „ Amy“. Durch die Kooperationsbereitschaft der Pflegefamilie war es uns möglich den Kontakt zwischen Amy und Ihrer Mutter Genet herzustellen. Wir haben die Mutter nach Dänemark gebracht.

After watching Mercy Mercy (TRAILER) , we at Against Child Trafficking felt something needed to be done to re-connect Masho with her parents. We felt something had to be done to oppose the condoning of  a crime. We had worked in Ethiopia on adoption cases before, and had the necessary trustworthy contacts as well as the knowledge.

So we started Operation Masho.

We quickly raised some funds through our social network and traveled to Ethiopia to meet Masho’s parents. At the same time we took up another similar case that had been in the Danish media (the case of Amy) and met Amy´s mother in Ethiopia too.

While in Ethiopia, we discovered many more mothers whose children are now in Denmark, and these mothers had not, and still do not, understood adoption and miss their children.

Thus, we broadened the project into “Operation Mercy Mercy”, intending to help more Ethiopian mothers/parents.  But first priority remain Masho and Amy’s reconnection.

• Masho’s parents and Amy’s mother appointed Arun Dohle of Against Child Trafficking as their legal representative in Denmark.
• In Ethiopia we hired a lawyer for the parents, who started the process of reversing the adoption. We supported another Ethiopian family before in doing this See this ACT case: Betty (Netherlands).
• We have been several times in Denmark, where we met with politicians and the commune under whose care Masho is.
• In the meantime, we  started the process of applying for passports for Amy’s mother and Masho’s parents. Since Masho is in state care- to arrange a meeting very much depends on the commune. It looks like eventually Masho’s parents will be able to meet her in Denmark, but it is still a long road.
• In Amy´s case, Amy’s mother visited her in Denmark – organised and paid by ACT.

To be able to do our work, ACT depends on private, preferably monthly, donations.

The children, the parents and we thank you for this!
