Dear President Obama,

We are writing to request your assistance with finding a solution for the small number of Russian orphans who have already met and bonded with their American families, yet were not able to have their adoptions completed due to the Russian adoption ban. We understand that you will be meeting with President Putin in June during the G8 Summit. We ask that you prioritize this issue and seek commitment from President Putin to finding a humanitarian solution.

Politics between the United States and Russia have become personal to several hundred Russian orphans and the families in the United States hoping to adopt them. These are children without parents, families, or homes. Many are in need of urgent medical care; all are in need of a future filled with promise. These children have no voice. These children have already been promised homes in America, and they have bonded with these American parents. The Government of Russia’s unwillingness to allow their cases to be completed adds yet another trauma to their young lives.

We have met many of these families and spoken with them frequently. They remain completely dedicated to these children, and they are trying everything in their power to help them. Approximately 230 of these families had traveled to Russia before the adoption ban to spend time with the children with whom they were matched. These devoted families already think of the children they were matched with as their sons and daughters.

Mr. President, we must find a humanitarian solution for these children and these families. We were cautiously optimistic when the Government of Russia Congressional letter to President Obama on Russian Adoption Ban sent a delegation to the United States a few weeks ago, but the outcome of that visit was disappointing.

Adoption to become easier

By Natasa Radic / 30/05/2013 / No Comments

By Natasa Radic – Zagreb

Croatian Parliament discussed the proposal to ratify the Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in connection with interstate adoptions. The Convention more clearly prescribes the legislation in the adoption issues, as well as the sanctions for the perpetrators of any illegal doings and manipulations when it comes to adopting children from other countries.

In Croatia there are currently 600 couples waiting to adopt children, and because of too strict laws that provide nearly all the rights to biological parents, the adoption becomes a complicating process and not many children get a chance to find a new home.
