L’affaire des « bébés roumains »

Image extrait de Bucarest 1986-1988, poétique d’une histoire.

"L'affaire des bébés roumains" est nommée ainsi par la presse française au début des années quatre-vingt (notamment on retrouve ce titre dans le Quotidien de Paris, du 3 Juin 1983) et rend compte de la situation de blocage des adoptions d'enfants roumains en Roumanie par des adoptants internationaux au cours des années quatre-vingt jusqu'au début des années quatre-vingt dix.

En janvier 1988 la mobilisation de l'association Enfance & Familles d'Adoption, fédération nationale des nombreuses associations départementales, débloque la situation pour quelques candidats à l'adoption pour l'été 1988 en interpellant les politiques. On retrouve un communiqué du ministère des affaires étrangères datant du 20 juillet 1988, où l'on apprend que selon la déclaration du porte parole du Quai d'Orsay : " Le Conseil d'Etat roumain a approuvé l'adoption de 74 enfants roumains par des familles françaises."

Julia Nalle is now fundraising again for Nicole Dewberry, despite the fact that Nicole has sent 4-5 teenage boys that she's professed her undying love to have fled to the hills rather and be adopted by her.

Perhaps the deity they claim wants the Dewberrys to adopt is not so subtly telling them otherwise?
