                                                Sale of children

Your Holiness,

we live in historic hours of the first months of the year 2011. The former Christian nations are changing their laws which have been founded on God’s Commandments – the Decalogue – for centuries. Today we are witnesses to introduction of an anti-Decalogue and antilaws. An appalling example of this international crime is the sale of children.

Children are taken away from parents and given up for adoption – for sale – even to homosexuals and paedophiles abroad. 4000 children are sold annually from Ukraine only, 1500 of whom are sold to paedophiles (“Paedophiles from abroad buying up our children from orphanages”, 20 minutes, 13 Feb 2008). However, one is officially speaking about the rights of children. Hotlines are being introduced with the purpose of creating artificial orphans. Parents are consequently deprived of parental rights and children are either sold for adoption or placed in modern children’s camps. There are 2 million artificial orphans in France, 700 000 in Germany. On 14 February 2011, the Ukrainian legislature established a so-called “hotline” for children to lodge complaints against their parents directly with the UN Commission.

What traumas the child will be subjected to if it is given up to a so-called homosexual family or falls victim to paedophiles, who for the most part are homosexuals too. In America, a two-year-old Russian boy Demetrius was killed one month after adoption. His skull was fractured and legs broken. The adoptive father – murderer – now seeks to free himself from the penalty of ten years’ imprisonment. There have already been numbers of similar cases of murder of healthy adopted children.

Twins of Mrs Anne from Russia were sold to USA for 63 500 dollars without her knowledge.

A two-and-a-half-year-old Ukrainian boy Samuel was officially sold to two Belgian gays for 4 500 dollars.

Your Holiness, please, make a demand for a law prohibiting international adoption, which nowadays means child trafficking. One may then expect that some politicians will stand up for justice, truth and moral values. But even if no one did, You must represent God’s attitude. You cannot be silent and thus indirectly approve and confirm crimes against humanity committed at the present time.
