Martin Narey writing in 'The Times': 'A fresh start is vital to reform near-ludicrous adoption rules'.

Over the past few months my proposition that there might be more adoptions and they might be completed more speedily has been challenged only by those who are opposed to the very concept of adoption.

But there is still, generally, a gulf between me and most of those who are pro-adoption when it comes to discussing the magnitude of the improvement that might be achievable.

My challenge that adoptions might double in number, and that the time taken to complete them might be halved, is, I am told, too ambitious. I have become used to hearing that, because I believe the interests of neglected children call for dramatically more adoptions and quicker adoptions, that I am oversimplifying issues – as the Association of Directors of Children’s Services told ‘The Guardian’ recently. And I am “cavalier”, as I was described last week by a social worker.

"Vermisst": Mutter und Tochter sind endlich vereint

Tränen der Freude

Sandra Eckardt besucht Marisa zu Hause, um ihr von dem Ergebnis der Suche bei „Vermisst“ zu berichten. Marisa wurde als Baby von einem deutschen Ehepaar adoptiert. Jetzt ist sie 30 Jahre, selbst Mama eines kleinen Jungen und sie will endlich ihre leibliche Mutter finden. Sie weiß nur, dass ihre Mutter Reinalda Flores heißt und aus Guatemala kommt.

Sandra und der Guatemalteke David haben lange nach Hinweisen gesucht. David glaubte sogar zwischenzeitlich, die leibliche Mutter gefunden zu haben. Doch es stellte sich heraus, dass es sich bei Reinalda Flores nicht um die Mutter, sondern die Tante von Marisa handelt. Die hatte ihrer Schwester Floridalma einen großen Gefallen getan und für sie die Adoptionspapiere unterschrieben. Floridalma selbst konnte es nicht übers Herz bringen zu unterschreiben.

Dutch couple faces adoption hitch

Sunday, January 26th 2014 By WILLIS OKETCH A childless Dutch couple that came to Kenya in search of a child to adopt is locked in a legal battle with the Children’s Department in Kwale.

Norefier Nielseen, 50, and his wife Olga Skvortsova, 47, started the adoption process last year after getting the child from a children’s home in Nakuru. The two, who have sworn in court that they are unable to have children of their own, told the court on Friday that they are capable of taking care of the three-year-old boy. And the adoption process has been assailed by various obstacles, including an earlier false report by the child’s mother that he had died at Kenyatta National Hospital while undergoing treatment. And although the woman has agreed to give away her son, court records do not indicate if the child’s biological father has consented.

The Children’s Department in Kwale has told the court that the woman was estranged from her husband after he allegedly threatened to circumcise her after she delivered. When hospital authorities announced plans to have her arrested and charged for child neglect three years ago, she fled the hospital and lied to her family members that the child had died at KNH.

Two years later, the woman returned to KNH in search of her child and discovered he had been taken to a children’s home in Nairobi. New home Before she could trace her son, the Dutch couple met the child who had now been transferred to a new home in Nakuru and began the adoption process. Testifying before Justice Maureen Odero in Mombasa earlier, Kwale District Children’s official told the court that he was opposed to the couple adopting the boy pending the mother’s appearance in court.
