No forced adoption for Aboriginal children

13 HOURS AGO MARCH 20, 2014 3:56PM

VULNERABLE Aboriginal children would be placed in "kinship-care" rather than put up for adoption under tough new reforms of the state's child protection regime.

The new laws, which are set to be debated in state parliament on Thursday, would see NSW become the first jurisdiction in Australia where child protection authorities would be required to consider adoption before placing a vulnerable child in foster care.

The reforms are aimed at providing a more stable environment for children, instead of a situation where they might be shunted from home to home under the foster-care system.

Say: Bye bye Korea, until later, when I have grown up

Eun-mi Postma - 04/04/03, 00:00

About four thousand South Korean children have been adopted over the last 35 years by Dutch couples, but last week the last batch adoptive babies left for Schiphol. Although South Korea is prosperous now, because of the rigid social conventions still many children are available for adoption. And South Korea would rather invest in the recovery of 'Overseas Koreans' than in social services that counteract that women give up their children for adoption.

Two boys and two girls. All four babies are about six months old and look very healthy. The girls in their red suits look sleepy, while the boys with their black eyes curiously followed all movements around them.

In the nursery at the South Korean Incheon airport they get one last bottle and a diaper just before the flight. Already early in their life awaits them a long journey that will change their life forever. These are almost certainly the last children from South Korea who are adopted by Dutch couples

Haiti judge: US citizen faces trafficking charges

By Associated Press, Published: February 25

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti — A U.S. citizen and her Haitian mother face child-trafficking charges after they were caught carrying thousands of dollars in cash and running an adoption agency without a license, a Haitian official said Tuesday.

Judge Borgella Shoute said Farah Marlin and Yrose Pressoir were stopped last Wednesday by police with Haiti’s child protection unit after they had just left the Hotel Karibe, a high-end hotel popular with foreigners.

Francis kissed the child as the new must-have Carnival costume made its debut at the pope's general audience Wednesday. During Carnival in Italy, children often go to school and spend their weekends dressed up in pirate, princess — and now pope — costumes. Carnival, also known as mardi gras, marks the period before the church's solemn Lenten season begins. Daniele's mother, Paola Ciabattini, said she dressed her son as a pope in a demonstration of affection towards Pope Francis. (AP Photo/L'Osservatore Romano, ho)
