I received an Email from Joint Council about corruption in the DRC. This is really frustrating because if not stopped it will ultimately lead to the closure of programs in the DRC.

I would hope that US agencies, take this seriously and work to prevent this from happening. Otherwise orphans will suffer. I get that in the DRC (and other places) folks there operate under a different system than ours, but it takes 2 and I would hope that US agencies would work to prevent this as much as they could.

Here is the mail.

A team from Wasatch International Adoption Agency has just returned from the DRC. While we were there, we had a visit with the vice consular officer.

He explained to us that, due to serious concerns about how some children become available, they are going to do more in-depth investigations, hence the new 3-6 month investigation period. He said that the State Dept. feels that DRC can be corrupt, and agencies and independents may be falling into situations where they pay an office or person to acquire a child for placement. He said that in their investigations, if they find any instance of that, they will shut down the Congo program, and he thinks that this is a good possibility.

Avocatul copilului sau al firmelor de adop?ii? Tamara Pl?m?deal?, suspectat? c? a promovat înfierea cu înc?lc?ri a unui b?ie?el moldovean în Italia

Natalia Porubin, Centrul de Investiga?ii Jurnalistice

Un b?ie?el suspectat c? ar fi infectat cu HIV/SIDA urma s? fie înfiat de un cuplu din Italia. De?i avea la baz? doar o b?nuial?, diagnosticul a fost utilizat ca paravan pentru adop?ia peste hotare, promovat? de Tamara Pl?m?deal?, avocatul copilului.

Protagonistul acestei istorii, Vl?du? (nume schimbat), nu are decât trei ani ?i e prea mic ca s? în?eleag? ce lupte înver?unate s-au dat pentru soarta lui. B?iatul din nordul ??rii figureaz? într-un proces de judecat? pe care avocatul parlamentar pentru protec?ia drepturilor copilului l-a intentat împotriva Ministerului Muncii, Protec?iei Sociale ?i Familiei. Ombudsmanul acuz? autorit??ile c? t?r?g?neaz? adop?ia lui de c?tre o familie din Italia. Argumentul de baz? este c? micu?ul ar suferi de o boal? incurabil?, pe care ar fi mo?tenit-o de la mama sa. Anume datorit? acestui diagnostic dosarul copilului a fost prezentat direct pentru adop?ie interna?ional?. În mod normal, copiii din Republica Moldova nu pot fi propu?i spre adop?ie în str?in?tate decât dup? ce sunt epuizate toate posibilit??ile de a le g?si o familie în ?ar?. „Copilul putea fi înfiat imediat dup? na?tere, înc? în 2010. Dac? urma tratamentul peste hotare, el evita pericolul s? dezvolte o boal? pe via??“, sus?ine Tamara Pl?m?deal?. „Ultima testare clinic?, efectuat? pe 25 ianuarie 2013, nu a confirmat diagnosticul invocat de avocatul parlamentar“, r?spunde Viorica Dumbr?veanu, ?efa Direc?iei protec?iei familiei ?i copilului din cadrul ministerului.

Brazil prepares guidance booklet for people adopted by foreigners

20/03/2013 02:55 - Portal Brasil

In partnership with various agencies, the Secretariat for Human Rights of the Presidency of the Republic (SDH/PR) has established the forms in which people adopted by foreigners can access data regarding their origin. A booklet is to be produced with guidelines on the subject. A meeting on the issue took place on Monday (March 18) afternoon at the SDH/PR headquarters in Brasilia.

According to George Lima, Chief of the National Office for Protection of Child and Adolescent Rights (which is linked to the SDH/PR), there are 14 cases of persons, adopted as children in the 1980s, seeking information on the process and their biological families. 13 of these people are in Israel and one is in the United States.

The idea is for consulates or embassies to serve as an initial point of contact. The booklets will include information on how to proceed with the application and will be made available at these locations. This material is expected to be approved in 15 days. In addition, consular officials will be responsible for providing assistance.

For Terre des hommes, advocacy is continuing

In recent years, international adoption ha, bit by bit, lost ground after repeated scandals linked to cases of abuse, trafficking and child prostitution. In our increasingly globalized world, the drift has gone so far that it is even possible to buy a child direct on the internet. Admittedly, irregularities, badly applied laws and procedures and individual shady cases have always existed in all the countries practising international adoption; on the other hand, the fact of a country and its entire system being corrupt is a more recent phenomenon. Among the States with a high risk of trafficking, one thinks primarily of Romania in the ‘90s, then of other countries like Guatemala, Cambodia, Vietnam, China, Haiti and, more recently, Nepal and Ethiopia being accused of trafficking in children. Meanwhile, the pressure brought by the international community, particularly the host countries, has borne fruit and forced the countries of origin to review the way they function, their legislation and their procedures.
