Sri Lanka adoption: The babies who were given awayon March 14, 2021 at 1:50 am

Thousands of newborns were sold to families in Europe. Decades later, Sri Lankan mothers are trying to find them.

A few years later, during the uprising of the Janatha Vimukthi Peramuna (People’s Liberation Front) against the state, some 60,000 people were killed. Indika says one of them was the baby farm broker, who was burnt to death in his car – it was “all over the media”, he says, and when he saw the picture of the vehicle, he knew it was the same one that had driven off with his sister.
