a vast amount of money foreign [Music] thank you this is [Music] do you think we've managed to find anything while we are here in Sri Lanka some details we can't find but I will try to find in the hospital document s oh wow this is the birthday Easter okay this is the record when it's time of birth yeah 2 40 P.M okay on 15th of September so what is this is that it is a doctor so this is the only file you have I was seven weeks when I was sent to Norway so we didn't have this document what if it said here that something happened during my birth and they don't know how is that legal they have written in a diagnose Cardinal okay so they're getting diagnosed okay you must be with the mother so okay so can we get this they have this thought they are destroyed oh yeah okay okay and if I USB that we have you only have five years after five years okay because uh for us who is abroad and we are not allowed to go for our documents until we are 18 years old then it's very difficult not enough space exactly I understand this is the place you your address yes this is the orphanage Salvation Army Salvation arm it is close by okay so I'll just take a full picture okay thank you so much very helpful foreign [Music] Hello nice to see you they can um yeah the only thing is that uh so thank you for meeting me what I was wondering is that I'm wondering what type of information do you give to the mothers when they're registered in Salvation Army who sits down with the mothers to tell them about their rights or about the information of adoption who is the person who's doing that we are not talking anything about any adoption we are getting ready for her for the uh yeah delivery of the bad baby who do I need to contact him to get my documents from that period you have to come here and ask from the administrators she can check and if there's luckily yes if luckily uh may be fine but unfortunately they have put in the wooden cabin okay that is where the uh yeah why does it we have a lot of stuff those days we didn't had computers and so so there is no chance that my papers from 92 is there now we have few files but not everyone's fine because of the white things um you mentioned before that you're working against human trafficking how do you make sure that this is not happening for this orphans in this uh orphanage yes can you is it possible to guarantee that no one experience Being Human trafficked yet to Europe when there was foreign adoption from Salvation Army we don't know because once the child is given through the course to the adopting parents that's why we know and that's but not all the families but that's why I want to see if you might have some documents about me because I find it very strange that probation that the document is destroyed yes but I am scared to open that cabinet is yeah outside ah yes of course thank you so much I really appreciate this [Music] is [Music] foreign [Music] how are you doing and how is life right now you know I have been trying to find answers for many years about our past situation so I'm wondering how it was to grow up with my mother as a sister normal [Music] what was my mother's relationship to my father foreign um Amma went to the house to babysit small children they treat small children did you as a family speak about the shame that will affect the family foreign [Music] why why did you think that adoption will be the best option foreign I started asking questions about my Sri Lankan family when I was three years old looking for my mother's in the streets foreign I didn't want to be adopted from Sri Lanka I wanted to be with my family did a must speak about me or did she not speak about me after the adoption um how will you feel as my auntie if I was looking for my father's family foreign I know it's very similar as well how because we only have uh so where is that man your friend do you know um do you have a picture yeah my uncle [Music] the brother of him I can take to there yes at home yes can we I can ask them to go to lunch can me and you go along okay um yeah we can speak after the lunch [Music] are you the first one in the family learning English I am the first child in this house yeah and I haven't been to private classes but it's cool we learn English as a one subject you know one period once yes once a week we had a period wow so now I'm trying to understand more like what is the connection here and I want to know more about my father do you know how he died yes what about the children how did they react after this murder they they were very said you know they they couldn't accept debt do they know about me and I think they don't know what I think that it was a secret and I promised myself to never contact them because I didn't want to disturb their life um when I started to realize that I will have to check if they are okay and it's okay if he doesn't want contact with me it's okay I just want to know that she's okay but can I call her um can I call her yes you I think you can call her she she will be warned but she will understand the situation you know okay so I will just send her a message now saying that good day my name is Priyanka I was wondering if you can call me whenever you are a ble to I'm so nervous you just asked for performance okay now she's calling hello and do you speak English so is your father right yeah he is my father um well the thing is that he is um also my father um can you uh okay so are you just kidding no I am not kidding with you it's we met each other we you will see what he she wants to call me by video oh no she's coming hi I'm sorry I I just I just don't know what to say I know it just shocked me you know yes we have the same forehead not thank you I know she had a low battery it's a lot of

things are powerful people we are not okay let me see let me go along just understand it no because I'm not bringing this camera with me it's only me and you going alone then we're fine there you guys go and we will stay here yeah try go okay they're coming they saw the camera [Music] thank you [Music] on 17th of September 1996 I was on my way to Bergen and I was cut down at Vince station and it found snow oh first time in my life I'm touching snow Columbus wow are you wow that's enough I'm so impressed can you explain what probation office is yeah it is the government Department under the ministry of child Affairs uh and it's a very old uh strong powerful Department called probation and child care which is in charge of the Sri Lankan entire children population especially the well-being of children and those who are in orphanages without their knowledge that cannot be for an adoption and they are the party that responsible for the courts as well without their reports without their consent letters without their uh there are that form two and form four of the the process they have to feel it and they have to submit they have to come and they have to issue letters to court without that letter code will not doing it we have been to the probation department they cannot find me in the book we went to Salvation Army they don't have my documents and they didn't have the Adaptive parents name in the book neither the register department or register office have my birth certificate and the hospital have registered that I was born there but they don't have the medical record of course and they didn't give the medical records to my adopted parents neither is there any other place I can find my papers except for these places well uh if uh in in Sri Lankan context I have digged or I have even handled cases 25 years old 30 years old the files are still there so if somebody says the files ever eaten by the rats I cannot believe it but if in the real case then there should be a file there should be a file in probation department there should be a file in Salvation Army there should be a file in code so if these all these three places if they said that they have no maintaining files that means uh there's a high possibility is a drama what do you mean drama drama is fake hmm this is not done through proper Channel you can't just mother come and just drop you into a Salvation Army doorstep like Jesus was dropped and go no you have to go through a court process a Sri Lanka has very good court system nobody can get away from that if they follow the rule and law rule of law who has signed the code documents as the guardian of you your mother your biological imager or Salvation Army I'm asking so you don't know she didn't even know that I went abroad she didn't know that we went abroad so that is impossible that is impossible yes consent production this form form two right okay this is form four I think is harmful adoption order is it okay you are not what registered birth for the registration division of the Hospital that's Fallen but it says you are not born in uh in that document it makes no sense uh so can can they just write stuff like that yeah no when Norway gets a child from Sri Lanka it is the responsibility of Norway as well to go through whether they have got a child into their country through a legal process If the child did not reach to the hands of the Norwegian parents is not through a legal process the Norwegian government should reject the child send back the child to Sri Lanka saying that you you go to the legal process and bring the child back okay if you're adoption is not legal my main accusation is Norwegian government Norwegian prime minister then king and the Norwegian State Church all are responsible thank you
