Wiltu slechts één zaak in uw briel behandelen. -- ~ -~-- Bij brief van 23 december 2005 stelde ik u op de hoogte van mijn besluit om aan de stichting Happy Child te Nijmegen vergunning te verlenen om te bemiddelen inzake de opneming in gezinnen in Nederland van buitenlandse kinderen met het oog op adoptie. Doel van de stichting was zich uitsluitend te richten op bemiddeling bij de opneming van kinderen uit de Volksrepubliek China. Om deze reden werd aan de vergunning de voorwaarde gekoppeld dat ook vergunning zou worden verkregen van de Chinese autoriteiten. Indien dit niet zou lukken vóór 1juni 2006, zou ik de vergunning intrekken. Onlangs ontving ik het bericht van het bestuur van de stichting dat men heeft besloten de activiteiten op het gebied van bemiddeling bij interlandelijke adoptie te beëindigen. Dit betekent dat de aan de stichting verleende vergunning wordt ingetrokken. Dit besluit werkt terug tot 1 juni 2006. Ik vertrouw u hiermee voldoende te hebben geïnformeerd. Hoogachtend.

Le NAC aux commandes / NAC at the controls

“In Mauritius, we practice adoption with the heart, in defiance of a more professional method. This observation made by the president of the National Adoption Council (NAC), Anita Bacha, depicts the current situation. Appointed president of this organization in 1988, Anita Bacha was recalled to this post shortly after the victory of the Social Alliance. “The government wanted, as soon as it took office, to put order in the adoption procedures in Mauritius. It is in this logic that the NAC has been appointed as the Central Authority in this area, ”explains Anita Bacha. A law, currently in preparation, aims to entrust the NAC with both adoption at the international level and at the local level. Working meetings, underlines Anita Bacha, bringing together the main partners, take place regularly. The objective: set up the organizational chart of the future structure and the staff training schedule. This entity, affirms the president of the NAC, will have the task of carrying out social inquiries on adoptive parents, a mission previously entrusted to the Probation Officers. “They complete their investigation in less than a week. This is due to the fact that they are not trained for this kind of work ”, deplores Anita Bacha. To avoid this, the staff of the new structure will benefit from appropriate training. He will also have to ensure the assessment and psychological follow-up of the children. Anita Bacha adds that priority will be given to local adoptive families. “There is a law in Mauritius which indeed stipulates that solutions must be sought locally for these children. But there is a vagueness because this law does not say who is supposed to seek these solutions ", highlights Anita Bacha, who intends to defuse this" confused "situation. For the month of April, the NAC received only two adoption requests from abroad. Since then, nothing.

De Combret/Cavada - European Parliament press release Adoption internationale en Roumanie

Adoption internationale en Roumanie

Communiqué de presse de Jean-Marie Cavada et Claire Gibault - 13.06.06

Claire Gibault et Jean-Marie Cavada, tout deux députés européens, ont organisé aujourd'hui au Parlement européen une réunion pour confirmer leur opposition à la politique d'interdiction de l'adoption internationale en Roumanie.
Evoquant la situation en Roumanie, où plus de 9000 enfants sont encore abandonnés chaque année selon un rapport de l'UNICEF, Jean-Marie Cavada a dénoncé "l'aveuglement institutionnel et la complaisance politique" qui ont conduit à l'interdiction de l'adoption internationale dans ce pays en 2005, alors qu'elle représente la seule chance pour ces enfants de trouver une vraie famille. Claire Gibault a tenu à lire un message de M. Poupard, représentant de l'UNICEF en Roumanie, déclarant que "le nombre d'abandons n'a pas baissé de manière significative au cours des 10 dernières années".
François de Combret, Vice-président de CARE France, et Fondateur de l'association SERA (Solidarité Enfants Roumanie Abandonnés), a voulu rappeler que le placement en famille d'accueil, s'il est un progrès par rapport à l'institutionnalisation, ne doit pas devenir "une fin en soi". "La Roumanie a fait d'énormes progrès, mais les abandons de nouveau-nés continuent et en ce sens l'adoption internationale doit être rétablie. Il y va du bonheur de milliers d'enfants" a-t-il ajouté.
Janice Peyré, Présidente de l'association Enfance et Familles d'adoption, a elle déclaré: "Une Europe qui encourage les mouvements des biens et des personnes pour des raisons essentiellement économiques mais qui accepterait que puissent être interdits de circulation des enfants pour leur propre bonheur ne sera jamais une Europe telle que la rêvait ses fondateurs".
Jean-Marie Cavada et Claire Gibault demandent au gouvernement roumain de modifier leur politique de protection de l'enfance en ayant pour considération primordiale l'intérêt supérieur de l'enfant et non "la satisfaction des dirigeants bruxellois".
