Website Bivolaru: Members of European Parliament concerned about Bivolaru case

Reactions and protests >>> International reaction >>> Members of European Parliament concerned about Bivolaru case

Following the decision by the Swedish Supreme Court to deny the extradition of Gregorian Bivolaru to Romania, considering that Mr Bivolaru "due to his religious views, risks being subjected to persecutions of a severe nature", members of European Parliament are discussing this case at the highest level. MEP Elmar Brok, Chairman of Foreign Affairs Committee, requested Mr. Lazar Comanescu, the Romanian ambassador to the European Union, to provide explanations about the appliance of European standards in the Romanian judicial system.

Happy Child Foundation Newsletter withdrawn

Within the ranks of the new license holder 'Stichting Happy Child' in Nijmegen, officially recognized on December 23, 2005, there has been disagreement for some time. Two coordinators left the Stichting Happy Child in February 2006 due to incompatible positions. The consequences of this for this license holder are not yet known.

This news came to light when Adoptie Trefpunt was approached in mid-March with the request to remove the newsletter issued and published by Happy Child from the website.
Assuming that an officially distributed and published newsletter takes place on behalf of the Foundation and not in a personal capacity, we contacted the chairman with the question whether we should comply with this request submitted in a personal capacity.
The two-line answer received on March 21, 2006 read:

"You may remove this newsletter. We kindly request you to place our next newsletter in due time.
Kind regards,
Liang Shi
Chairman Happy Child Foundation"

Surprised by this answer, we then pointed out to the chairman that the newsletter published and distributed by this Foundation is published on numerous fellow websites and forums. And that, if Happy Child chooses to actually remove this newsletter from circulation, they should also be given the same assignment.
Nevertheless, we respect the answer of the chairman of the board and have promised to remove the Happy Child newsletter from our website.
Adoptie Trefpunt has informed the Happy Child Foundation that it will inform its visitors why this newsletter will suddenly no longer be available on the Adoptie Trefpunt website.

* o delegatie formata din 11 reprezentanti germani, condusa de catre ministrul Barbara Stamm, au vizitat, recent, centrul de la Pastraveni * prin contributie germana, se vor face noi investitii de peste 10 miliarde de lei la acest centru *

O delegatie formata din 11 reprezentanti germani, condusa de catre Barbara Stramm, fostul ministru al muncii al landului Bavaria, a vizitat, pe 21 martie, Centrul Pilot de Recuperare pentru Persoane cu Handicap de la Pastraveni. Scopul vizitei a fost acela de a participa la cea de-a 17-a sedinta a curatoriului de la Pastraveni, sedinta la care s-au prezentat si reprezentanti ai Consiliului Judetean, Prefecturii, primariei din comuna Pastraveni, Autoritatii Nationale pentru Persoanele cu Handicap, precum si ai Bisericii. "In cadrul acestei intilniri, delegatia germana a confirmat interesul de a realiza o noua serie de investitii, pe parcursul anului 2006, la centrul de la Pastraveni. Investitiile vor fi suportate atit de partea germana, cit si din fondurile de care dispunem, la nivel judetean. Astfel, va fi reabilitata cladirea veche a centrului, investitia ridicindu-se la aproximativ zece miliarde de lei. Aceasta cladire va fi transformata intr-un loc de gazduire ce va dispune de 12 garsoniere cu dotare completa, in care vor locui 24 de tineri cu abilitati crescute, care lucreaza in atelierele si ferma zootehnica si vegetala a centrului. O parte din costul lucrarilor de reabilitare a fost inclusa in bugetul nostru, completarea fiind facuta prin contributii ale partii germane si Consiliului Judetean Neamt. Jumatate din valoarea investitiei, precum si dotarea si manopera pentru amenajari, va fi suportata de catre investitorii germani", a declarat Mihai Hanganu, directorul Directiei de Asistenta Sociala si Protectia Copilului Neamt.

Blog: Amazing Brazil Adoption

Amazing Brazil Adoption

I had a great 10 day trip to Brazil. I could recount the great beauty and diversity of the sights I saw, but the most interesting part was on the flight home from Rio where I sat next to an energetic woman from New Jersey who was traveling with 9 children and her husband. She had just spent 2 months in Brazilfinalizing the adoption of 7 siblings.

<>When asked why she did this seemingly insane thing, she quoted the bible, something about helping widows and orphans. I thought that was a proofreading term, but apparently there is more to it than hanging words on a page. Since that was the first thing she said to me, I prepared to be converted to the faith, but she never came back to it, only to say that she was pleased that the one sight they got to visit in Rio was Corcovado, and to see Jesus up close. Since I also saw that sight, I paid no further heed to her potential Christian fundamentalism. Her second reason was that she was told that it was impossible to adopt children from Brazil, which made her more determined, because that is the type of woman she is. <>

The 7 children (5 boys and 2 girls) have 3 other siblings who were old enough to care for themselves, and were already settled in their mountain village with job training and getting on with adulthood. The remaining 7 being adopted range in age from 6 (a toothless cutie who was infatuated with the plane's headphones) to 14 (a boy crazy cutie swaggering around the airport).<>She was traveling with 2 of her 4 children. Which means, yes, that she now has 11 children between the ages of 6-15. Her youngest natural son, age 7, was on the plane, playing his gameboy and suffering from terrible ear pain, and not getting the attention he craved for such discomfort, both in his ears and in his new life.

REF: STATE 43700

 

1. (SBU) Poloff met Dagmar Hovohradska, MFA's Human Rights

Department, March 22 to discuss reftel demarche on Romanian

intercountry adoption. Hovohradska said the Human Rights

Department will research the issue and provide a response

within a week. However, Hovohradska was unsure what the Czech

position would be in light of a recent intercountry adoption

involving the death of a three-year old Czech boy. The

Swedish couple who adopted the boy is now accused of killing

him. As a result of this case, Hovohradska predicted the

passage of a new Czech law on intercountry adoption that

would require psychiatric testing of all prospective adoptive

parents.
