Slovakia to receive Italian adoption documents by April 15

7 Mar 2013Flash News

Labour Minister Ján Richter has said that Slovakia does not know the fate of 72 Slovak children who were adopted in Italy. The news was reported by the Sme daily on March 7, two weeks after Andrea Císarová, the head of the Centre for International Legal Protection of Children and Youth (CIPC), part of the Labour Ministry, returned from Rome where she had met representatives of the Italian Commission for International Adoptions.

During her visit she asked for 117 post-adoption reports that are currently missing. However, some of these still remain in Rome. The commission is set to send the rest to the respective Slovak authorities by April 15. Several reports for 2003 to 2005 in particular are missing. Until then, a temporary suspension of adoptions of Slovak children by families in Italy remains in effect, the daily wrote.

Neither the former head of the CIPC, Alena Mátejová, nor Italian Ambassador to Slovakia Roberto Martini have explained why the documents are missing – despite the fact that they are required by an international protocol on adoptions. Most of the adoptions were made through the Italian Famiglia e Minori agency, which was dissolved in 2010 by the Italian state. However, the Slovak Labour Ministry did not ask the Italian side for an explanation at the time, or for the missing documents.

Avocatul copilului sau al firmelor de adop?ii? Tamara Pl?m?deal?, suspectat? c? a promovat înfierea cu înc?lc?ri a unui b?ie?el moldovean în Italia

Natalia Porubin, Centrul de Investiga?ii Jurnalistice

Un b?ie?el suspectat c? ar fi infectat cu HIV/SIDA urma s? fie înfiat de un cuplu din Italia. De?i avea la baz? doar o b?nuial?, diagnosticul a fost utilizat ca paravan pentru adop?ia peste hotare, promovat? de Tamara Pl?m?deal?, avocatul copilului.

Protagonistul acestei istorii, Vl?du? (nume schimbat), nu are decât trei ani ?i e prea mic ca s? în?eleag? ce lupte înver?unate s-au dat pentru soarta lui. B?iatul din nordul ??rii figureaz? într-un proces de judecat? pe care avocatul parlamentar pentru protec?ia drepturilor copilului l-a intentat împotriva Ministerului Muncii, Protec?iei Sociale ?i Familiei. Ombudsmanul acuz? autorit??ile c? t?r?g?neaz? adop?ia lui de c?tre o familie din Italia. Argumentul de baz? este c? micu?ul ar suferi de o boal? incurabil?, pe care ar fi mo?tenit-o de la mama sa. Anume datorit? acestui diagnostic dosarul copilului a fost prezentat direct pentru adop?ie interna?ional?. În mod normal, copiii din Republica Moldova nu pot fi propu?i spre adop?ie în str?in?tate decât dup? ce sunt epuizate toate posibilit??ile de a le g?si o familie în ?ar?. „Copilul putea fi înfiat imediat dup? na?tere, înc? în 2010. Dac? urma tratamentul peste hotare, el evita pericolul s? dezvolte o boal? pe via??“, sus?ine Tamara Pl?m?deal?. „Ultima testare clinic?, efectuat? pe 25 ianuarie 2013, nu a confirmat diagnosticul invocat de avocatul parlamentar“, r?spunde Viorica Dumbr?veanu, ?efa Direc?iei protec?iei familiei ?i copilului din cadrul ministerului.

Pune: Seventeen innocent children from the Preet Mandir adoption agency here and their prospective adoptive parents have become the traumatic victims of legal complications over the past four months.

Adopted children are used as medical ‘guinea pigs’ in U.S for pharmaceutical companies to test new drugs

13 MARCH 2013 NO COMMENT

Adopted children in American families sometimes become “guinea pigs” for pharmaceutical companies to test new drugs. Such children are prescribed five potent psychotropic medications at a time. This is beneficial both for the adoptive parents and health care professionals.

Russian diplomats found that the adoptive mother of Maxim Kuzmin who died in late January in the U.S. gave him a drug called Risperdal. It is a powerful anti-psychotic and anti-hallucination drug prescribed for acute manic attacks in patients with schizophrenia. Why a three-year-old boy not diagnosed with mental illness at the time of adoption would take such a strong drug? American TV journalists of KMID channel while preparing a story about the death of the Russian child talked to a child psychologist and found that Risperdal is also often prescribed for common disorders of psychological development and ASD.

Adepts of the so-called Attachment Therapy recommend wrapping children in a carpet, and then sitting on them. Children are also kept under a cold shower for a long time, locked in a toilet and left without food for several days. Many “advanced” parents on the advice of psychologists come up with even more sophisticated methods, making, for example, children dig their own graves. All these savage practices are implemented by proponents of the attachment therapy as the best way to get children to be obedient and break their will.

Adozioni internazionali, Romania: la CAI designa come referente unico l’ente pubblico ARAI Piemonte. Ma è davvero la scelta giusta?

La Commissione per le Adozioni Internazionali è all’opera con l’autorità centrale della Romania, l’Ufficio Rumeno per le Adozioni, allo scopo di applicare la nuova normativa in materia che vuole permettere alle coppie italo-rumene residenti in Italia di adottare internazionalmente i bambini rumeni residenti in Romania. Ma designare come referente, seppur transitoriamente, un ente pubblico come l’Agenzia ARAI è davvero la scelta giusta?

Ecco quanto comunica la CAI sul suo sito ufficiale (www.commissioneadozioni.it). “Il giorno 11 settembre 2012 si è svolto a Bucarest un incontro tra la vice presidente della Commissione per le Adozioni Internazionali e il presidente dell’Ufficio Rumeno per le Adozioni, Segretario di Stato Bogdan Panait, per definire le modalità di collaborazione tra le due Autorità Centrali nel quadro della nuova legge rumena n. 233 del 5 dicembre 2011, entrata in vigore il 7 aprile 2012, che consente ai cittadini rumeni residenti all’estero di realizzare adozioni internazionali di minori rumeni residenti in Romania.
