Congolese children were kidnapped, taken to an orphanage and put up for adoption in Belgium after their parents were tricked into sending them to a holiday camp, it has emerged.

Belgian prosecutors have officially asked "about 15" families for DNA samples from their adopted children in a bid to trace their biological parents. The adoptive families had thought the biological parents were dead.

“This is a drama. How do you explain such things to those children? Not to mention the pain that real parents must feel in the Congo", Lorin Parys, a Flemish politician with an adopted son, told the Het Nieuwsblad newspaper.

The DNA demand applies to all Congolese children adopted in Belgium from November 2013 and comes as an 18 month investigation builds up a head of steam.

Prosecutors want the tests to find out the extent of the trafficking in Congolese children to Belgium, which infamously colonised a regionincluding the present day Democratic Republic of Congo.

That is going to be mess. How does a Judge get to say that kidnapped children don't have to return to their parents?
