Wereldkinderen heeft begin 2013 een nieuwe overheidslicentie voor adopties verkregen van de Ethiopische autoriteiten. De aankomst van geadopteerden uit Ethiopië is daarmee via Wereldkinderen weer mogelijk geworden.

Op dit moment geldt een opstartfase en wordt met een klein aantal aanvragen een nieuwe adoptieprocedure ontwikkeld. Er is nog geen procedure volledig voltooid. Door het invoeren van een aantal extra maatregelen hebben de autoriteiten in Ethiopië de afgelopen jaren de procedures meer in lijn gebracht met de uitgangspunten van het Haags Adoptieverdrag. Wereldkinderen heeft de ontwikkelingen in Ethiopië altijd kritisch gevolgd. Nu ons, met onze locale contactpersoon samen, ook de mogelijkheid wordt geboden de achtergrondinformatie van de kinderen te controleren, is Wereldkinderen er zeker van dat procedures zorgvuldig tot stand komen. Wij worden in deze visie gesteund door het Ministerie van Veiligheid & Justitie.

1) Assessment of the Adoption and Child Protection framework

In May 2013, ISS has conducted a review of the adoption and child protection framework in the Democratic Republic of Congo (Congo-Kinshasa). This study, done in collaboration with the local UNICEF office, was aimed at establishing a first assessment of the adoption procedures and practices, in a country which is increasingly targetted by adopters and foreign agencies, despite the lack of adequate structures and legislative framework. The mission report should enable local authorities to both identify the various measures to ake in order to reform the current system, and to alert the authorities of the host countries to the risks of a too rapid development of international adoptions in a context that is not prepared to it.

Similar missions have been conducted in over 10 countries of origin to date (Moldova, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Azerbaijan, Vietnam, Laos, Ivory Coast, Guatemala, Colombia, Haiti, etc.).

Alert: Guidance on Processing of Emergency Adoption Cases during Ghana’s Suspension

On April 30, 2013, the Government of Ghana suspended processing of all adoption cases, including intercountry adoptions, pending Ghana’s review of its current adoption procedures. This alert provides additional information on how the Ghanaian Department of Social Welfare (DSW) is implementing the suspension and how the suspension impacts processing of related Forms I-600, Petition to Classify Orphan as an Immediate Relative.

Cases Subject to the Suspension

All adoption cases that received final approval by the Ghanaian Department of Social Welfare (DSW) or were filed with a court before April 30, 2013, are not subject to this suspension.

For cases filed with a court on or after April 30, 2013, only emergency cases may proceed to final adoption in Ghana. Emergency cases include children who have special needs or medical conditions, children who could “age out” of adoption eligibility, and children adopted by biological relatives. These emergency cases must be submitted to the Acting Director of DSW for approval before being submitted to a Ghanaian court.
