Holt International & WACAP Merge to Strengthen Resources, Impact for Families Worldwide

Phil Littleton, president and CEO of Holt International, shares about the merger of Holt International and World Association for Parents and Children (WACAP).

Today, we are making an exciting announcement that will better position Holt International to do the mission-critical, child welfare work at the heart of our organization. Holt will merge with World Association for Parents and Children (WACAP) — a highly respected international adoption and child welfare agency — under the name Holt International Children’s Services on April 1, 2019.

Holt International first pioneered international adoption in 1956 and today remains the global leader in adoption. Founded in 1976, WACAP has united thousands of children with families in the U.S., and has also developed strong foster care and foster care adoption programs in the state of Washington. But while both Holt and WACAP have remained leaders in international adoption, the recent downward trend in adoption has called for a different strategy—one that creates a united front and a merging of efforts to ensure every child has a loving and secure home.

MSS appealed the Court verdict

(Found on website on 28/2/2020)

Een aantal jaren geleden was kwam Meiling in het nieuws vanwege een mogelijk adoptieschandaal. Hoe zit dat?

In 1999 is een medewerker van Malaysian Social Services (MSS) gearresteerd op verdenking van overtreding van de regels van binnenlandse adoptie. Deze medewerker is onschuldig bevonden en vrijgesproken.

Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) verlengde in dat jaar de vergunning van MSS. CARA is de organisatie die in India alles rond de adoptie controleert.

In 2005 waren er opnieuw verdenkingen van onethische adoptiepraktijken van MSS. Op 12 februari 2019 heeft dit tot een uitspraak geleid. MSS heeft een boete van 10.000 rupees (= 127 euro) gekregen en een voormalig medewerker is veroordeeld. MSS is in hoger beroep gegaan tegen deze uitspraak en verwacht dat de straffen worden terug gedraaid. Nadat het hoger beroep heeft gediend, krijgen we van MSS de stukken toegestuurd.
