Zondag en maandag!

 

Wat maken we hier toch ontzettend veel mee!! De afgelopen twee dagen weer van alles beleefd, dus het wordt weer tijd voor een blog!!

Gisteren had ik niet echt een zondag gevoel… Maarja alles is hier anders dan in Nederland, dus ook de zondag! ’s Ochtends zijn we wezen luisteren naar Mozes z’n ‘preek’. In één van de gebouwtjes hier op het terrein werd een soort van kerkdienst gehouden. Als eerste werden er een aantal liederen gezongen. Daarna las Mozes een stukje uit de Bijbel voor en ging hierover preken. Ik kan jullie wel vertellen dat het er hier iets anders aan toe gaat dan in de Ger. Gem. van Oostkapelle! Wink Er zijn twee rijen van ongeveer 4 houtenbankjes en Mozes staat ervoor en loopt steeds heen en weer. Tussen door roept hij af en toe: “Hello!!” waarop alle aanwezigen antwoorden met “Hai!!”. Volgens mij is dat om iedereen z’n aandacht er weer even bij te houden! Achja.. het werkt wel, want je bent gelijk weer wakker als je ineens zo’n brul hoort! Het lastige vind ik nog steeds de taal! Mozes had echt een mooie preek, met heel bruikbare voorbeelden enzo, maar af en toe kon ik het echt helemaal niet meer volgen! Kon ik nou maar super goed Engels!! Na de ‘preek’ werd er nog gebeden. Ook dat gaat er heel anders aan toe dan bij ons! Ze beginnen allemaal in hun handen te klappen en gaan dan allemaal hardop bidden. Op den duur gaan je oren gewoon zeer doen van het harde geklap en gebid!! Wel bijzonder om mee te maken!

’s Middags kwamen Paul, Monique en Vera afscheid nemen van Hanukkah. Paul en Monique zijn de adoptie ouders van Vera. Ze zijn nu ongeveer 3 maanden in Ghana en mogen over ongeveer over 3 weken terug vliegen naar Nederland met hun schattige meisje Vera. Vera heeft in Hanukkah gewoond, dus vandaar dat ze afscheid kwamen nemen. Mozes sprak hen nog toe en er werd voor ze gezongen en gebeden! Echt zooo mooi! Ik kreeg bijna zelf tranen in m’n ogen!

Deras mamma har gömt sig i hopp om att barnen skulle få stanna i Sverige. Men nu ska de tre barnen, nio, tolv och 17 år, skickas till Montenegro trots att de rotat sig i Sverige efter många år och bor i en fosterfamilj. Migrationsverket menar att statliga barnhem är lämpliga hem.

– Det är ytterst ovanligt att en familj splittras så här. Och det är ytterst, ytterst sällsynt att man hänvisar till ett statligt barnhem, säger Johan Rahm, presschef på Migrationsverket, till Borås Tidning

Migrationsverket menar att statliga barnhem kan vara lämpliga hem. Nu ska verket utreda om det är lämpligt i det här fallet. Först därefter kan utvisningen verkställas.

March 5, 2012

Alert: Suspension of New Applications to Adopt

The Government of Senegal has announced that it is temporarily suspending all new intercountry adoptions while it focuses on implementing the Hague Convention on the Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption (the Convention). The Convention entered into force for Senegal on December 1, 2011.

U.S. Embassy Dakar officials met with Senegalese adoption officials on February 9, 2012, to clarify which cases would be included in pipeline processing. The Government of Senegal has stated that transition cases where an adoption dossier was filed with Senegal prior to December 1, 2011, will be allowed to finish under the previous “orphan” process. However, the Government of Senegal will not accept dossiers for new adoption cases until Senegal finishes implementing the Convention.

The government is in the process of establishing what is keeping more Maltese children from being put up for adoption.

It will also consider introducing a so-called open adoption system, which would encourage natural parents to allow their children to be adopted while adoptive parents take legal responsibility. He said this system could be ideal for a small country like Malta.

Left out in the cold: Russian official demands full ban on US adoptions
Published: 29 February, 2012, 22:09

Russia’s children’s rights ombudsman has called for a full ban on US adoptions of Russian children. The move follows an American couple’s shocking decision to abandon baby twins on the cold streets of Saint Petersburg.

Children’s Right Ombudsman Pavel Astakhov demanded “the suspension of the issuance of documents on the adoption of Russian children by US citizens” until a bilateral agreement on child adoptions between Russia and the US is ratified.

His strong words came after a Russian citizen holding a US passport abandoned her adopted children in Saint Petersburg this week.

According to reports, an unidentified man brought the children to a Saint Petersburg custodial organization on Monday with a note saying the kids' "foster mother had given them up."
