COUPLES LEFT IN LIMBO AS ADOPTION AGENCY CLOSES

1 November, 2015 - 10:41 General

One of the state's only adoption agencies has dramatically closed following a funding crisis, leaving more than 60 couples that had initiated an inter-country adoption, in limbo.

The Sunday Business Post reports that Arc adoption, one of just two agencies authorised to facilitate inter-country adoptions, told clients last week that it was 'winding down its operations with immediate effect'.

Opschorting adopties uit Oeganda

2 december 2015

Vandaag woensdag 2 december verscheen in enkele kranten een bericht over de opschorting van adopties uit Oeganda. Het Vlaams Centrum voor Adoptie (VCA) heeft inderdaad de kanalen in Oeganda opgeschort. Dit betekent dat er voorlopig geen kinderen kunnen worden toegewezen.

Deze opschorting was nodig omdat de federale overheid tussengekomen is in de adoptieprocedures bij de Belgische rechtbanken. De kinderen uit Oeganda worden in Vlaamse gezinnen geplaatst met het oog op adoptie. De adoptie wordt later uitgesproken door de rechtbank in België, met goedkeuring van de Oegandese rechtbank. Door de tussenkomst van de federale overheid, is het niet zeker of deze Oegandese beslissingen zullen omgezet worden in adopties. Er is dus rechtsonzekerheid ontstaan voor heel wat adoptiegezinnen.

Het Vlaams Centrum voor Adoptie heeft samen met de adoptiediensten een gecontroleerde samenwerking opgezet met enkele tehuizen in Oeganda. Zowel het VCA als de adoptiedienst zijn ter plaatse geweest om deze samenwerkingen met de nodige garanties tot stand te brengen. De werking van deze tehuizen is voorafgaand geëvalueerd: enkel kinderen van wie de nodige achtergrondinformatie beschikbaar is en die in eigen land niet kunnen worden opgevangen, werden geplaatst in Vlaamse adoptiegezinnen. Bovendien zijn er duidelijke overeenkomsten gesloten met de tehuizen waarin o.a. alle kosten zijn opgenomen. De kosten die kandidaten moeten betalen bij een adoptie uit Oeganda worden op voorhand meegedeeld aan de adoptieouders en zijn beschikbaar op de website van Kind en Gezin.

East Africa bans adoption of children by foreigners

By mov on August 19, 2015No Comment

The East African Parliament has recommended banning of adoption of children by foreigners, and asked partner states to tighten their laws on adoption as a measure.

The East African lawmakers are particularly unhappy that foreigners have continued to indiscriminately adopt children including those with parents.

They also say that majority of the children adopted have been abused after foreigners cutting off any links between the adopted children and their relations back home.

Notice: The Hague Adoption Convention Enters into Force for Rwanda

On July 1, 2012 the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-Operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption (Convention) entered into force for Rwanda. However, the Government of Rwanda has notified the U.S. Embassy in Kigali that the current suspension on intercountry adoptions will remain in effect until the country has a fully functional Convention process in place. The Government of Rwanda believes implementation will take several months.

We caution adoption service providers and prospective adoptive parents that important steps to ensure intercountry adoptions from Rwanda comply with the Convention must take place before intercountry adoptions between the United States and Rwanda resume. Adoption service providers should neither initiate nor claim to initiate adoption programs in Rwanda until the Department of State notifies them that the Government of Rwanda has lifted its suspension on intercountry adoptions and that Rwanda’s procedures meet the requirements of the Convention.

Rwanda: Adoption Policy Questioned

BY JAMES KARUHANGA, 19 JULY 2012

MPs want the government to closely monitor Rwandan children adopted by foreigners and consequently taken abroad.

Speaking on Tuesday, several legislators questioned the country's policy on child adoption, saying children who are taken to other countries by their adoptive parents risked losing touch with their country's identity and heritage.

Official figures indicate that, from 2006 up to 2009, up to 263 Rwandan children were taken to several countries, including the United States, France, Belgium and Italy. In total, there are 361 adopted Rwandan children abroad, according to statistics from the National Children's Commission.
