If adoptions company DanAdopt have done something wrong in adoption case of the Ethiopian girl Masho and other children, it is only good that Social Karen Haekkerup (S) has now closed for DanAdopt adoptions of children from Ethiopia.

The opinion of the chairman of the association Adoption and Society, Jens Damkjær.

The Ministry of Social Affairs has decided to close Danadopt's adoptions of children from Ethiopia because there are doubts about whether the agency's mediation of adoptions from the African country is ethically and legally sound.

The Ministry of Social Affairs is now closing down adoption agency DanAdopt's adoptions of children from Ethiopia, DR News has learned.

In addition, DanAdopt must also account for the adoption process in all other countries from which they adopt children.

The other adoption agency in Denmark, AC Børnehjælp, must also account for their adoptions of children from Ethiopia. However, they are still allowed to continue their adoptions from Ethiopia until their account has been assessed by the Ministry of Social Affairs.

DOS Adoption Alert: Serbia Adoption

March 29, 2013

ALERT: SERBIA ADOPTION

U.S. Embassy Belgrade has received reports that one or more U.S. adoption agencies may be giving prospective adoptive parents misleading information about the process of adoption in Serbia.

Serbia places a priority on domestic adoption. The only children who are generally available for intercountry adoption are children with special needs. There are no adoption agencies authorized to offer adoption services in Serbia, and families should not seek to work with an intermediary. You are strongly encouraged to read the Serbia adoption country information, which outlines the only way to adopt children from Serbia.

Liberian actor sues UNICEF for child abuse

A Liberian actor has filed a $25 million lawsuit against UNICEF for alleged child abuse over his starring role aged 13 in a fundraising film as a murderous child soldier who tortures his victims.

Mike James, now 28, says he and other cast members have been "stigmatised as rebels, killers, cannibals and drug addicts" after being recruited for the 1997 film "Soldier Boy" and made to act out eating human body parts.

In a writ filed in a west African human rights court earlier this month, James says he was paid $300 by a Danish production team hired by UNICEF for the docu-drama and duped into believing it would get limited distribution when in fact it went worldwide.

The UN child protection agency's Liberian office provided "active support and collaboration" to the Danish crew which recruited children from schools and orphanages to act in the short film, the writ says.
