October 13, 2014, Moscow. — For the 9th time Aeroflot co-organized Train of Hope charity program event created by Radio Russia within the social project Child Question. The main goal is to draw public attention to the problem of orphanage and to help children left without parental care to find a new family.

This time the charity program goes to Simferopol and Sevastopol. Eight families from different parts of Russia who are planning to adopt or take custody of a child have become members of the Crimean voyage Train of Hope.

Aeroflot offered 30 free tickets to the future adoptive parents on the route Moscow — Simferopol and 35 free tickets on the route Simferopol — Moscow.

Professors from foster parents Moscow schools will consult their Crimean colleagues on details of Russian legislation and arrange seminars for childcare authorities.

The Child Question team with the assistance of psychologists, doctors and lawyers will provide help to the potential parents. Such support is usually provided to the members of each Train of Hope trip, but this time it is even more important, because parents are coming for the children older than 5 years, brothers and sisters, children with the health problems — those for whom it’s especially complicated to find a new family.

Court opens to public American parents’ proceeding to cancel their adoption of Russian children

By Eugene Volokh October 6

A very interesting decision, especially since adoption-related proceedings are generally closed to the public, In the Matter of Adoption of Child A and Child C (N.Y. Surr. Ct. Oct. 2, 2014). Here’s the court’s explanation of why there is especially strong reason to open these proceedings:

VII. PUBLIC INTEREST IN RUSSIAN/AMERICAN ADOPTION CASES

In addition to the general public interest in this case, independent interests are also implicated. The issue in this case will be important, generally and independently, to different people throughout the United States and Russia.

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.”
