Kaski to crack down on illegally-run children homes

SANTOSH POKHAREL

POKHARA, April 27: The Kaski district administration has said it will take action against illegally-run children homes

[orphanages] in the district.

A children home can operate only after getting permission from the Central Children Welfare Committee (CCWC) on the recommendation of the district administration and district children welfare committee. But nine out of the 56 operating children homes here have not received such permission.

A ROMANIAN woman is trying to give away an abandoned autistic child — ten years after she adopted her.

Mihaela Popa adopted the girl aged 18 months in 1999 but claims doctors failed to tell her she was suffering from the developmental disability.

She has now asked a court to overturn the adoption so she can get rid of the teenager.

Child protection spokeswoman Svetlana Mihulet said: "The adoptive mother announced to us she wanted to cancel the adoption. A trial is under way.

"This is a very delicate case. Our only goal is to defend the child's superior interest."

Kay Warren Questions Christianity of Persons who Neglect Orphans

Don't call yourself a believer if you're not caring for orphans, said Kay Warren. "If we are doing little to nothing, how dare we, how dare we claim to be followers of Jesus Christ."

FERMATHE, HAITI—Her name is not Jonatha — that’s the first surprise. It’s Lovely.

The second surprise, and this is the big one, is that the 2-year-old girl plucked from the rubble of her home six days after the earthquake is not an orphan. She has a big family — a mother, a father, aunts and uncles, cousins, and a little brother whom she likes to tickle and sing to, unless he’s trying to grab her red marker.
