25.01., 15:07 Uhr

"Wohlergehen des Kindes im Vordergrund"

Die EU-Kommission hat die Mitgliedsstaaten zu "Vorsicht" in den Adoptionsverfahren für Waisenkinder aus Haiti ermahnt. Einige Regierungen von EU-Staaten hätten angekündigt, sie wollten die Adoptionsverfahren beschleunigen, sagte Kommissionssprecher Michele Cercone am Montag in Brüssel. Nach dem Erdbeben in Haiti sei die Lage dort "sehr schwierig", aus Sicht der EU-Kommission stehe bei Adoptionen "das Wohlergehen des Kindes im Vordergrund".

ROCA, Neb. — Dieunette babbles a constant stream of baby talk and flashes big expressive eyes, but she has trouble sleeping and is fussy from fighting a tapeworm. Bettania is a quiet explorer, spending her days walking from room to room, running her hands over the grand piano, flicking light switches on and off, staring at the billiards table and fireplace, all the while silent but clearly in fascination.

Keine EU-Regeln für Adoptivkinder aus Haiti

Brüssel (dpa) - Die europäischen Länder können die Adoption von Waisenkindern aus dem Erdbebengebiet in Haiti eigenständig regeln - eine EU-weite Vorgabe wird es nicht geben. Die EU-Kommission wolle keinen Anlauf dazu machen, sagte ein Kommissionssprecher am Montag in Brüssel: «Es scheint uns voreilig, einen europäischen Rahmen zu schaffen, zudem ist die Kompetenz der EU-Kommission in dieser Frage sehr begrenzt.» Die 27 EU-Mitglieder könnten selbst entscheiden.

So hätten die Niederlande und Italien angekündigt, bereits laufende Adoptionsverfahren für Kinder aus Haiti zu beschleunigen. «Wir bitten die Staaten, vorsichtig zu handeln, da die Lage sehr unübersichtlich ist», betonte der Sprecher.

Plane with 1st group of Haitian orphans arrives in Canada

By Allison Jones (CP) – 1 hour ago

OTTAWA — Twenty-four orphaned Haitian children, weary from their long journey, arrived in Canada early Sunday into the open arms of their new adoptive parents.

The Air Canada Airbus A-330 touched down in Ottawa around 6:55 a.m. Most of the passengers had deplaned by 7:30 a.m.

The children were escorted off the plane wrapped in blue blankets to protect against the cold. Several of the older children flashed bright white smiles as they peered above their blankets and walked swiftly.

A family in China made babies their business

The lucrative trade in newborns was fueled by an adoption frenzy that saw government-run orphanages paying for children who they then made available to Westerners.

Duan Yuelin and Chen Zhijin, his mother, who get children from the rural poor and adopt them out to foreigners, talk about their business in their home in Changning, China. Chen says the children are better off with their new parents. (Barbara Demick / Los Angeles Times / January 15, 2010)
