Tränen der Freude

Sandra Eckardt besucht Marisa zu Hause, um ihr von dem Ergebnis der Suche bei „Vermisst“ zu berichten. Marisa wurde als Baby von einem deutschen Ehepaar adoptiert. Jetzt ist sie 30 Jahre, selbst Mama eines kleinen Jungen und sie will endlich ihre leibliche Mutter finden. Sie weiß nur, dass ihre Mutter Reinalda Flores heißt und aus Guatemala kommt.

Sandra und der Guatemalteke David haben lange nach Hinweisen gesucht. David glaubte sogar zwischenzeitlich, die leibliche Mutter gefunden zu haben. Doch es stellte sich heraus, dass es sich bei Reinalda Flores nicht um die Mutter, sondern die Tante von Marisa handelt. Die hatte ihrer Schwester Floridalma einen großen Gefallen getan und für sie die Adoptionspapiere unterschrieben. Floridalma selbst konnte es nicht übers Herz bringen zu unterschreiben.

Dutch couple faces adoption hitch

Sunday, January 26th 2014 By WILLIS OKETCH A childless Dutch couple that came to Kenya in search of a child to adopt is locked in a legal battle with the Children’s Department in Kwale.

Norefier Nielseen, 50, and his wife Olga Skvortsova, 47, started the adoption process last year after getting the child from a children’s home in Nakuru. The two, who have sworn in court that they are unable to have children of their own, told the court on Friday that they are capable of taking care of the three-year-old boy. And the adoption process has been assailed by various obstacles, including an earlier false report by the child’s mother that he had died at Kenyatta National Hospital while undergoing treatment. And although the woman has agreed to give away her son, court records do not indicate if the child’s biological father has consented.

The Children’s Department in Kwale has told the court that the woman was estranged from her husband after he allegedly threatened to circumcise her after she delivered. When hospital authorities announced plans to have her arrested and charged for child neglect three years ago, she fled the hospital and lied to her family members that the child had died at KNH.

Two years later, the woman returned to KNH in search of her child and discovered he had been taken to a children’s home in Nairobi. New home Before she could trace her son, the Dutch couple met the child who had now been transferred to a new home in Nakuru and began the adoption process. Testifying before Justice Maureen Odero in Mombasa earlier, Kwale District Children’s official told the court that he was opposed to the couple adopting the boy pending the mother’s appearance in court.

Australia simplifies overseas child adoption AFP January 26, 2015, 12:03 am TWN SYDNEY--Australia said on Sunday it was simplifying the process of adopting children from overseas, setting up a single body to manage applications while working on new arrangements with the United States, Poland and Vietnam. Prime Minister Tony Abbott said a new “one-stop shop” — the Intercountry Adoption Support Service — will have staff advocating on behalf of prospective families and dealing with local state authorities and partner countries. Australia has one of the lowest levels of intercountry adoption in the world, according to a government report last year. “For too long adoption has been in the too hard basket, for too long it has been too hard to adopt and for too long this has been a policy no-go zone,” the Australian leader said in a statement. “It shouldn't be that way because adoption is all about giving children a better life.” The new service — which could start as soon as April — will also seek to reduce the length of time parents have to wait to adopt children, currently an average of five years. The announcement came just a week after a baby boy at the center of an international debate about surrogacy was granted Australian citizenship. Baby Gammy was reportedly abandoned in Thailand by a Perth couple who went home with just his healthy sister. While commercial surrogacy is illegal in Australia, growing numbers of people are traveling to countries such as India and Thailand to engage women to carry their babies. Adoption levels have fallen to a record low in Australia, Abbott said, with just 317 domestic and international adoptions finalized between July 1, 2013 and June 30, 2014, nine percent lower than the previous year and 76 percent down from 25 years ago. Australia has intercountry arrangements with 14 countries, and the government said it was establishing new adoption programs with the U.S., Poland and Vietnam, and working on schemes with four other countries. The four countries were not named by the government, but the Sunday Telegraph said they were Latvia, Kenya, Bulgaria and Cambodia.
