Mysore: In a new twist to the case of the two orphans transferred to an institution in Bengaluru for adoption by the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) of Mysore without the consent of their guardians, it appears they are now all set to be given up for adoption to a working couple in Italy.

“It is difficult to find couples in India who want to adopt children over five , so we are giving them to an Italian couple who have agreed to adopt them,” said sources in the Vatsalya Charitable Trust, which has applied to the Bengaluru city civil court in Mayo hall for permission to go ahead with the adoption.

MEP Ádám Kósa (Fidesz) hosted a conference today in the European Parliament on the tragedies and depressing human rights issues of children living in overcrowded institutions. The conference took place just two weeks before the new Structural Fund Regulations will be tabled in the European Parliament, whose proposals – among others – aim to replace these obsolete institutions by community based services. As was revealed on the debate, only a minor part of children living in such facilities are actually orphans.

Belgium stops Moroccan adoption

For the time being, Flanders is completely refraining from adopting adopted children from Morocco.

The reason for this is the lack of clarity about the legal aspects of children from Morocco. According to De Standaard there is a lot of uncertainty about the recognition of adopted children once they are in Belgium. The first adoption request from Flemish parents went completely wrong in Ghent. Approximately eighty children from Morocco have been adopted in Brussels and Wallonia, but parents still have to do a lot of work to get recognition.

The Flemish parents did everything according to the adoption procedures, which meant that the ties with the biological parents should not be broken. However, the public prosecutor decided to appeal, after which the adoption was rejected. In Morocco there is only the 'kafala', a foster guardianship system and not the adoption schemes that we know in the Netherlands and Belgium.

However, there is something to be said for refusing the adoption. The name of the biological father is on the birth certificate of the child and it is precisely that the father did not give permission for the adoption. The 4-year-old boy has been living in Belgium with his foster parents for two years now. Adoption officer Ariana van Den Berghe has indicated that no Moroccan children may be adopted for the time being.
