NAMIBIAN MINISTER OPPOSES INTER-COUNTRY CHILD ADOPTION

WINDHOEK – Defence Deputy Minister PETRUS IILONGA of NAMIBIA says he is concerned about allowing inter-country adoption of children.

He says allowing children to be adopted by foreign nationals is not in the best interest of the child, as there is no way of monitoring the safety of the adopted youngster.

Deputy Minister IILONGA says NAMIBIAN children should be raised in NAMIBIA rather than being sent to foreign countries, where their safety and well-being are not guaranteed.

He emphasises the need to maintain the culture of extended families, to ensure if a child is orphaned a relative can take care of him or her.

Court quashes Labour Cabinet Secretary Kazungu Kambi's adoption order to child welfare body

By Caroline Rwenji

Updated Wednesday, October 1st 2014

The Child Welfare Society of Kenya (CWSK) will no longer deal with adoption matters after the High Court quashed a notice by Labour Cabinet Secretary Kazungu Kambi. Mr Kambi issued the Children (Exemption) Order 2013 that gave CWSK the mandate to handle adoption matters without the institution being registered as an adoption society as required by the Children's Act. It, however, emerged in court that CWSK was not registered as an adoption society and the parties moved to court to challenge the exemption order by the Labour CS.

High Court judge Weldon Korir found that Kambi had exercised his powers improperly by issuing the exemption order. "Something done in bad faith is an abuse of power. Abuse of power is usually remedied by issuing judicial review orders," the judge said. He found that those who supported the application stated that CWSK had in the past complied with registration and that nothing made it unworkable.

Rebesani, whom Mogherini met at a European congress in Strasbourg, left his job in Rome with Save the Children Italy because he believed it posed a conflict of interest. “He’s a very present father,” she says, and they share the parenting as equally as possible. “There have been times when he was working twelve hours a day, and I was working less; times when I am working twelve hours a day, and him less.” I suggest that Italian men are not known for such egalitarianism. “Not at all,” Mogherini says with a laugh. “People tell me I’m lucky, but you choose the people you’re with. Building a relationship based on equal responsibility—it’s also up to the woman.”

Status of the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) exit permit suspension for adopted children

September 29, 2014

On September 26, 2014 Director General of the Directorate of General Migration, Francois Beya, announced the DRC’s official policy that the exit permit suspension for adopted children will remain in place until further notice. The Congolese government initially issued the exit permit suspension for adopted children on September 25, 2013, indicating that the suspension would be in effect for up to 12 months.

Although the Department of State and the U.S. Embassy in Kinshasa have pressed the Congolese government repeatedly to lift the exit permit suspension, the September 26 announcement is the only definitive response the Congolese authorities have provided to us since they originally stated that no exit permits would be issued until promulgation of new adoption laws in the DRC in July.

Bringing relief to the children and adoptive families impacted by the exit permit suspension remains a high priority for the Department of State. We understand the hardship children and families are facing and we remain vigerously engaged on this issue at all levels. Secretary of State John Kerry met multiple times with DRC President Joseph Kabila since May to advocate on behalf of the affected families.
