Ambassador wonders: How can Ethiopia be a living hell? Ethiopian Ambassador is surprised that Denmark will not let Amy visit her native country Dorrit Saietz Journalist Ethiopia is a country with 94 million people living a decent life Woinshet Tadesse, Ethiopia's ambassador to the Nordic countries In Stockholm sits Ethiopia's ambassador to the Nordic countries, a woman named Woinshet Tadesse, and wonders deeply about what is going on in Denmark. Why the authorities will not allow a young girl to visit his family and attend as a witness in a completely lawful civil lawsuit? "It is up to the Court to decide what is best for the child in this whole situation, and they want to hear Amy's testimony," said Ambassador Woinshet Tadesse. "Therefore, it is very unfortunate that she will not be allowed to travel to Ethiopia." "We always work from the child. If she wants to go Ethiopia and visit her parents and family, perfect. If she'd rather be in Denmark, it is also fine," she says. But there is a real risk that she may be held back in Ethiopia? "We cannot anticipate the Court's decision. If the Court decides to overturn the adoption, so it's up to Amy and her mother to decide if she should stay in Ethiopia or in Denmark. There no authority will interfere in the matter - it's her biological mother, and she is alive. And she has clearly stated that she has no interest in keeping Amy back in Ethiopia, "said Woinshet Tadesse. Even if this happens, she finds a private lawyer's claim that it would be a disaster and "a living hell" for Amy to stay in Ethiopia, completely wrong. "Ethiopia is a country with 94 million people living a decent life, including this lawyer. How can it be 'a living hell' and why it is so even long-term - it is because he has not been adopted? It's embarrassing, "she says. But what about the many poor people in Ethiopia - or the orphans? "There is poverty in many places, not only in Ethiopia. Even in the United States is poor. Poverty is not a disease, and we have made many advances through development. Over the last decade, poverty is halved and children are far better schooling and health, "she says. Woinshet Tadesse find it perfectly normal and natural that Amy will visit his country and his family. "That's her right. Here in Sweden I know of several families who have adopted children from Ethiopia, who take the children to visit their families and their country. You cannot break the bond with their biological families and parents. "

25 FEBRUARY 2010 New name new focus Charity co-founded by J K Rowling reveals spellbinding new identity The Children’s High Level Group today unveils its new name and a new brand with a rallying call to put an end to the systematic institutionalisation of disadvantaged children across Central and Eastern Europe. The charity today re-launches as Lumos - named after the spell in J K Rowling's global sensation Harry Potter. In the books, Lumos causes a small beam of light to emit from the spell-caster's wand. With the change of name to Lumos comes a shift in focus: Lumos will no longer work in Romania – this work will be continued by the Asociatia Children’s High Level Group, whose Chair is Baroness Emma Nicholson. Lumos, chaired by J K Rowling, will continue its work in the Czech Republic and the Republic of Moldova, as well as expanding into other countries. J K Rowling says, "Twenty years ago, as Communist regimes across Europe toppled, harrowing images of Europe's hidden children began to emerge. Thousands upon thousands of children were living in vast, depressing institutions – malnourished and often maltreated, with little access to the outside world. Slowly governments have begun to transform care systems. Real and lasting change takes time, but today we are putting down a marker and calling for significantly more progress in the next twenty years to ensure that eventually no children are living in, or at risk of entering, such institutions." Dr Richard Alderslade, Chief Executive of Lumos, says: "While pockets of really good progress have been made since 1990, the scale of the challenge remains almost unimaginable. There are still more than 1 million children and young people living in institutions, not just in a handful of countries, but in most countries across Central and Eastern Europe. This means that we have to be realistic in our approach. Working with governments at a strategic level - to create country-wide reforms, not just one-off closures of particular institutions - takes time. It is not only a question of closing down the institutions, but also implementing new systems and creating alternative care settings as well as the not so insignificant task of changing mindsets." Contrary to popular opinion, the majority of these children are not orphans, but are disabled, from ethnic minorities or poor backgrounds. Institutionalisation damages children’s health and development and reduces their chances in life. Lumos is currently working on major reform programmes in the Czech Republic and Moldova. The charity has been assisting the Czech government to develop a National Action Plan for the reform of all its services for vulnerable children and families. It is now working in the county of Pardubice, helping the local authorities to transform all of their large residential institutions for children. In Moldova, the charity is supporting the government and local authorities to implement large-scale de-institutionalisation programmes as well as an initiative aimed at significantly reducing infant mortality. Lumos has also been providing advice and support to the European Commission in Brussels on the best way to use funding for reforming the child social protection system in Bulgaria. We are now setting up a major programme in the country to help accelerate and improve the process of de-institutionalisation.

Brussels woman finds mother after being kidnapped 30 years ago

Child was stolen out of bed

A 34-year-old Brussels woman was kidnapped 30 years ago from Guatemala and sold by her kidnapper to a Flemish couple for adoption, local police said. Dolores Maria Praet was four when her mother was forced to give her up for adoption because she was too poor to look after her, according to the official story. Her adoptive parents paid $2,800 (€2,100) to arrange the adoption through official channels.

In 2011, Praet travelled to Guatemala in search of her birth mother, who authorities confirmed was Rosario Colop. She had moved away from her village, but a neighbour heard Dolores’ story and found it strange: Colop had never had a daughter, he said, though at the time in question, another child from a nearby village had been taken from her bed at night and never seen again.

Praet went to find the mother of the kidnapped child, Luisa Chim, and, according to the police report, became convinced she was her own mother. DNA analysis confirmed their suspicions: Praet was Chim’s missing daughter.

U.S. Adoption Executive Pleads Guilty to Ethiopia Scam

by Naharnet Newsdesk 4 hours ago

A former executive with a U.S.-based international adoption agency which sought to connect American families with Ethiopian children has admitted fraud, a U.S. Justice Department statement said Wednesday.

Alisa Bivens, the former foreign program director of International Adoption Guides Inc. (IAG), an adoption agency in North and South Carolina, pleaded guilty to bribing foreign officials and submitting fraudulent documents to the U.S. State Department regarding adoptions from Ethiopia.

Bivens, 42, and other co-conspirators, filed false documentation including contracts of adoption signed by orphanages in Ethiopia even though some of the children had never stayed in nor been cared for by the orphanages involved.
