Renzi e l’adozione internazionale: Congo “speriamo”, adozione europea “parliamone”, riforma A.I. “no comment”

renzi vitaDopo aver “twittato” le linee guida della Riforma del Terzo settore (in realtà il Primo cit. Matteo Renzi), il Presidente del Consiglio ha incontrato il 20 maggio a Milano una fetta importante del Terzo Settore italiano. L’occasione l’ha fornita la convocazione del Comitato Editoriale del mensile Vita, magazine di divulgazione dei temi legati al non profit, all’economia civile, alla sostenibilità e ai principali temi del welfare.

Un Comitato Editoriale partecipato da oltre 60 fra le più importanti organizzazioni italiane del terzo settore di primo e secondo livello. Anche l’Associazione Amici dei Bambini ne fa parte e ha partecipato con un suo rappresentante alla mattinata con Matteo Renzi. Il quale, con abilità comunicativa e rapidità di pensiero ha voluto lasciare spazio agli interventi dei presenti, – fra i temi toccati dalle domande anche quello delle adozioni internazionali – prima di rispondere rapidamente e lasciare la compagnia in fretta e furia per i numerosi impegni istituzionali.

I am 37 years old and pregnant with my third child. I am looking for a couple which will support me during my pregnancy. After the birth I will give up my child’s custody. I am unemployed and have no healthcare insurance. I cannot afford the costs of a doctor and therefore I am looking for someone who can help me. I would like to get in touch only with dedicated couples as I want to give my child to a lovely family that will give the child everything that I cannot.
