Continua exportul de copii

In pofida legii care interzice adoptiile internationale, daca solicitantii din strainatate nu sunt bunicii copilului, si impune prioritate absoluta pentru adoptiile nationale, exportul de copii continua * O fata de 14 ani a fost "exportata" in Italia cu concursul autoritatilor si a Tribunalului de Minori din Brasov * Fata a fost luata de la scoala de intermediarii de adoptii, fara stiinta Complexului Poiana Soarelui, care o avea in crestere si care a alertat politia * Peste 900 de copii romani au zburat in ultimii ani din tara, cu largul concurs al autoritatilor care se prefac a fi incapabile sa le gaseasca parinti adoptivi romani

Exportarea copiilor romani, pe banda rulanta, catre familii din strainatate, continua in Romania la cote alarmante, in pofida noii legi (nr. 273/2004) care reglementeaza adoptia internationala si care interzic aceasta procedura, cu singura exceptie ca cel putin unul dintre solicitantii din strainatate sa fie bunicul copilului. Cu largul concurs al unor functionari din directiile judetene ale Autoritatii Nationale pentru Protectia Copilului si Adoptie, copii fara familii, aflati in diferite forme de plasament, sunt "impachetati" pentru a lua drumul strainatatii, desi pe langa legea mai sus mentionata, Conventia ONU cu privire la drepturile copilului instituie principiul potrivit caruia prioritara este adoptia nationala. Astfel, in multe cazuri nimeni nu se mai gandeste la gasirea unor parinti adoptivi romani (desi romanii stau la coada pentru adoptii) si se merge pe drumul batatorit sub vechea guvernare, in care 1115 copii erau gata-gata sa fie exportati, daca nu izbucnea un scandal international, in urma caruia Guvernul Romaniei a fost obligat in 2001, printr-un memorandum, sa suspende aceste proceduri pana la aparitia noii legi din 2004. Suspendarea adoptiilor a venit ca urmare a gravelor acuzatii aduse de baroneasa Emma Nicholson, care a condamnat faptul ca un sistem corupt de protectie a copilului a permis exportarea a 30.000 de copii, in valoare de 1 miliard de dolari.

In spatele exporturilor - mascate cu asa-zisa acoperire a unor sentinte judecatoresti mai mult decat interpretabile - apar in continuare vestitele "fundatii caritabile" care si-au facut un adevarat renume in a gasi parinti adoptivi cu dare de mana, pe banii caruia "sufletele caritabile", dar si unii functionari ai statului, s-au plimbat in trecut, la greu, prin lumea larga.

Six-year-old Julie ran off the soccer field, dark blonde hair flying behind her. Stopping briefly, she threw her arms around a small girl and gave a happy squeeze. Face lit by a big grin, she turned and hugged her older brother too.

“I got a goal!” she bragged.

Adopted girl comes in search of her mother

TAMBARAM, APRIL 2. More than 25 years after being adopted by a Belgian couple, a girl of Tamil origin has come to Chennai in search of her mother.

Nirmala Alexandre (26) was adopted by Sacres, a Belgian couple in 1980 from the Madras Social Service Guild at Nedunkundram village, about six km from Tambaram. In her first visit to India, she has come along with her husband, Alexandre, hoping to see mother, Vasanthi.

Vasanthi left her daughter at the care of the voluntary organisation. "All we know of Ms. Nirmala's mother is her name and that she belonged to Guindy," according to Balaji Thangavel, administrative officer at the guild. They do not have any other information about Vasanthi.

The couple and volunteers hope that media reports may help find Vasanthi.

Nevertheless, they would strain every nerve to find the woman so that Ms. Nirmala can meet her natural mother. Ms. Nirmala and Mr. Alexandre, a management engineer with the Belgian Government, married a few months ago and wanted to visit India. She is a higher secondary teacher and knows only French.

Sperm donor anonymity ends

Sperm donor anonymity ends

The law removing anonymity from donors will not be retrospective

People donating sperm and eggs will no longer have the right to remain anonymous, under a new law which came into force on Friday.

Children conceived in this way will now be able to identify their genetic parents once they reach 18.

The new rules will not be retrospective, so people who have already donated will not be affected.

Saptamana trecuta, un alt copil a evadat de la "Poiana Soarelui" si a cerut ajutorul Directiei pentru Protectia Copilului Brasov, acuzand aceleasi tratamente!

Dupa un proces lungit mai bine de o luna de zile, Tribunalul pentru Minori si Familie Brasov a dispus, ieri, ca Florentina Goroh, fetita de 14 ani fugita din orfelinatul lui Ion Tiriac de la poalele Tampei din cauza abuzurilor suferite aici, sa fie incredintata parintilor ei adoptivi din Italia, familia Pini, care o infiase in urma cu aproape 5 ani. In 23 februarie a.c., fetita s-a prezentat, intr-o stare jalnica, la Directia pentru Protectia Copilului, unde a povestit pe larg violentele psihice si fizice la care, ca si ceilalti aproape 100 de copii din orfelinat, a fost supusa permanent la "Poiana Soarelui" si a cerut insistent sa fie data in grija unui asistent maternal, pana cand va putea pleca in Italia impreuna cu parintii ei adoptivi. Comisia Judeteana Brasov pentru Protectia Copilului si DJASPC Brasov au dat curs acestei solicitari, dispunand plasarea fetitei, in regim de urgenta, la un asistent maternal, pana cand Tribunalul pentru Minori si Familie Brasov avea sa hotarasca in privinta acestui caz.

US to Romania: We will not give you visas until you unlock international adoptions

In 2005, US Assistant Secretary Maura Harty came to Romania on an official visit where she met with Romanian authorities to discuss international adoptions which at the time had been locked.  At some point during the discussions, Maura Harty explicitly said the visa waiver for Romania will not go forward unless international adoption procedures will go forward, according to kamikazeonline.ro.

"During the May 10 and 11 meetings with President Traian B?sescu, Foreign Minister Ungureanu and other government officials, Maura Harty did not encounter any proof to show the government is seriously considering to further engage in this adoption project which is currently on hold. The program is affected by a law forbidding international adoptions, due to be enforced as of January 1.  She told her interlocutors she would share this with US families with pending adoption requests in Romania. On the occasion she told Minister Ungureanu that establishing the path towards Romania’s inclusion in the U. S. Visa Waiver (VWP) program will largely depend on the Bucharest authorities’ progress in solving pending international adoption requests,” the Wikileaks document shows.

The document also mentions that, during the meeting with Harty, " President Basescu appeared to have changed his mind and decided to take action”.

"On May 12, he informed the attaché that he has discussed international adoptions with the EU accession commissioner Olli Rehn ad added he will request FM Ungureanu to request the EU the possibility to solve the adoptions. The President also said Romania will take initiative to try and persuade member states such as Germany, Italy, France to quicken the proceedings,” the document also reads.

Recently, the Boc government decided to decrease adoption period for a child with unknown parents to 30 days since the birth certificate was issued. Also, a child who is under state care can be adopted one year after he was left by his parents. The decision however refers to interior adoptions. On March 9 2011, the government decided to keep the rules and regulations for international adoptions.
