Ethiopia: Mission Assessor Valdegamberi

03/07/2007

Regione Veneto - press release. The commissioner for social policies of the Veneto, Stefano Valdegamberi met in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian government's Justice Minister Assefa Kessi, as part of the mission "Veneto adoption."

The commissioner for social policies of Veneto Stefano Valdegamberi met in Addis Ababa, the Ethiopian government's Justice Minister Assefa Kessi, as part of the mission "Veneto adoption", which involves a delegation from the Veneto in Ethiopia with the aim of supporting the activities entities authorized international adoption.

On Saturday we went to a very special adoption gathering! Zeweditu Yashu, the director from the Gelgela Orphanage in Ethiopia came all the way to Canada to see all her babies!! Kumera was from this orphanage! There were about 20 children from her orphanage at this event. It was an incredible experience to meet her and for her to see and hold Kumera again! Kumera would have been only a few weeks old when he was in her orphanage before he went to the CAFAC foster home. We visited the orphanage when we were in Ethiopia, but we didn't get to meet Zeweditu because she wasn't there that day.

She doesn't speak English, so Selemneh was there to translate. Most families adopting from Ethiopia know who Selemneh is. For those who don't, he was the past travel coordinator for CAFAC Adoption Agency. (And he's also the one who appears in the book "There is No Me Without You".)

Zeweditu had a speech and said how happy she was to see all her children happy and healthy and with loving families! It was heartwarming! At the end she presented each child with a beautiful scarf from Ethiopia! Kumera wanted nothing to do with her or the scarf, so I hope he'll be glad to have been a part of this when he's older.

She was going to be travelling to Saskatchewan and Alberta to attend adoption gatherings there as well and to see more of her babies! It must be so exciting for her!

Skin deep

Adopted by an American family 25 years ago, Goa-born Nisha Grayson is coming back ‘home’ in search of her birth mother and herself

Melissa A. Bell

When Nisha Grayson was in second grade, her school class in California, US, put up a performance. “Don’t come!” Nisha told her mom on the day of the event. Stephanie Grayson went anyway. When she walked into the classroom and a child shouted “Whose mommy are you?” Nisha just hunched up, blushed and kept silent.

Christians needed to love orphans in Russia

POSTED: 12 MARCH, 2010

Topics in this story: babies , christians , mission trip , orphans , russia , vbs

MNN and Orphan Outreach are teaming up together to take a team to Russia.

Russia (MNN) ? There are more than 700,000 orphan and street children in Russia alone. With drug and alcohol abuse, HIV/AIDS, and a poor economy, the situation isn't getting any better. More and more children are becoming wards of the state. That means more and more are ending up in "the system." They're institutionalized. They're placed in orphanages.

Mothers looking for answers after losing babies

11 Mar, 2010 08:51 AM

SUE never wanted to give her baby away.

But like so many other pregnant, unwed teenage girls in the 1960s, she had no choice.

Now 58, Sue has spent most of her live grieving for her baby girl lost through the “wicked” government-sanctioned adoption policies of the 1950s, 60s, 70s and 80s.

Trafic d'enfant et adoption

Un réseau d'adoption illégale à Madagascar, à destination de la France

AMADEA, ONG fondée en 1986, Organisme Autorisé pour l’Adoption (OAA) habilité pour Madagascar depuis 1990 et membre de la Fédération française des OAA (FOAA), s’est trouvé confronté et attaqué de front par de ce qui semble être un réseau d’adoption illégale dans la région de Toamasina (Tamatave) à Madagascar.

L’œuvre d’adoption française a signé une convention de partenariat avec le centre Nomena qui recueille des enfants abandonnés sur cette partie de l’Ile.

Nôry, petite fille de 2 ans et demi fait partie de ces enfants et son jugement d’adoption par une famille française est prononcé le 5/11/2003. Il ne sera notifié que 2,5 mois plus tard (délai de recours légal : un mois).
