We will resume the steps for international adoptions, because they offer a chance to a family of children with disabilities or other ethnicities in the protection system, in the context in which the Romanian families do not adopt such children, said the president of the National Authority for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Children and Adoptions (ANDPDCA), M?d?lina Turza, in an interview with Agerpres.
Turza said she is considering more measures regarding adoptions: simplifying the procedure for internal adoptions, evaluating case managers, because it is a problem with opening adoption files, and will launch an adoption promotion campaign.
"The families of Romanians who adopt children are those who cannot have children naturally, mostly. I think this story of adoption must be popularized among people. I do not think Romanians necessarily refuse to adopt, I believe that there is simply not a very strong awareness of this option and I think that a campaign in this sense is very useful ”, said M?d?lina Turza.
