Dennis de Jong(stânga), europarlamentar olandez,?i Nine Kooiman(dreapta), parlamentar olandez din partea Partidului SocialistDennis de Jong(stânga), europarlamentar olandez,?i Nine Kooiman(dreapta), parlamentar olandez din partea Partidului SocialistUn membru al Parlamentului olandez, din Partidul Socialist ?i un europarlamentar din aceea?i ?ar? au cerut deschiderea unei anchete, dup? ce Jurnalul Na?ional a dezv?luit culisele falsific?rii unui raport oficial chiar de c?tre Comisia European?. Parlamentarul olandez a trimis ?i cereri scrise pentru explicarea situa?iei c?tre Secretarul de Stat pentru Afaceri Externe ?i c?tre Secretarul de Stat pe  Justi?ie ai Olandei.

Nine Kooiman, parlamentar olandez din partea Partidului Socialist ?i europarlamentarul olandez Dennis de Jong au reac?ionat la ancheta prin care Jurnalul Na?ional a dovedit c? Comisia European? a falsificat un raport oficial privind adop?iile ?i drepturile copilului în cele 27 de state member ale UE. Cei doi politicieni au cerut clarific?ri vizavi de încerc?rile Comisiei Europene de a-?i exercita abuziv puterile pe seama copiilor ce fac subiectul adop?iilor. Cei doi politicieni olandezi au reac?ionat prompt pe data de 3 decembrie, la doar câteva ore de la publicarea investiga?iei de c?tre Jurnalul Na?ional. Ace?tia consider? “inacceptabil gestul Comisiei Europene de a pune presiune asupra cercet?rorilor care au întocmit raportul, pentru a impune concluzia c? este necesar? o Agen?ie European? pentru Adop?ii, în timp ce rezultatele cercet?rii au fost falsificate ?i nu duc în realitate la o asemenea concluzie”,  se arat? în pozi?ia comun? a celor doi.

“Cunoa?tem cu to?ii dorin?a pentru mai mult? putere ?i pentru mai multe atribu?ii pe care ?i le dore?te Comisia European?, dar folosirea problemelor privind adop?ia pentru a-?i m?ri influen?a mi se pare un lucru oribil. Mai ales c? to?i copiii care fac subiectul adop?iei au nevoie de maxim? protec?ie ?i îngrijire”, a declarat Nine Kooiman.

În trecut, scandalurile privind adop?iile au fost motivul pentru care România a stopat adop?iile interna?ionale. Acum continu? încerc?rile de a for?a România s? î?i redeschid? grani?ele pentru adop?ii. Zvonuri despre stabilirea unei politici europene privind adop?iile exist? de mult timp. “Am pus de curând câteva întreb?ri critice despre acest subiect guvernului olandez, dar nu am primit nici un r?spuns înc?. Dar dezv?luirile din ziarul românesc merg mai departe decât suspectam deja”, a mai spus Kooiman. Ea nu sus?ine stimularea adop?iilor interna?ionale la nivel european, pe motiv c?, pe cât posibil, copiii trebuie s? creasc? în cadrul familiei. Mai mult, adop?iile interna?ionale reprezint? un proces cu vulnerabilit??i. “Dac? este adev?rat c? exact Comisia European? manipuleaz? rezultatele studiilor, avem o problem?. Nu numai pentru c? rezultatele sunt manipulate pentru ca Europa s? î?i consolideze puterea. Dar în primul rând pentru c? vorbim despre copii vulnerabili. Pe primul loc trebuie s? fie interesele copiilor ?i nu cele ale Comisiei Europene”, a concluzionat parlamentarul olandez.

Nine Kooiman a trimis interpel?ri scrise c?tre Secretarul de Stat pentru Afaceri Externe ?i c?tre Secretarul de Stat pe Justi?ie ai Olandei, responsabili pentru adop?ii.

Radio Interview with Scott Carney

Scott Carney is an investigative reporter based in Chennai, India. In the March/April 2009 issue of Mother Jones, he examines the dark side of international adoption, and asks the question: How did a boy kidnapped from the slums of India wind up adopted by an American family in the Midwest?

Mother Jones multimedia editor Laura McClure spoke with Carney about how families can avoid adoption pitfalls, the ethics of overseas adoption, and what happened to the boy profiled in the story after the story went to press.

OPPORTUNITY HOUSE

In March 2007 AAI opened Opportunity House (OH), a home designed to serve children with special needs in Addis Ababa. Start-up costs were provided by a generous grant from the Margaret T. Biddle Foundation. Three years later, in 2010, OH was officially sanctioned by the Ethiopian government as a model program improving the holistic well-being of children with developmental disabilities.

The dozen or so children living at Opportunity House have a variety of disabilities including autism, blindness, deafness, and developmental delays. AAI also partners with nearby orphanages to care for several children with similar issues. Many of the children referred to the OH program have families who are unable to assist with the challenging daily needs of their child. These children are not eligible for adoption. The ultimate goal is for children to be reunited with their birth families. In 2011-2012 several children did indeed go home to improved lives with their families!

Treatment is highly individualized and designed to help each child reach his/her maximum developmental potential. Caring professionals provide speech, physical, and occupational therapy, as well as training for the staff and families responsible for the ultimate care of the child. Slowly but surely the stigma surrounding special needs is giving way to empathy and appropriate educational and therapeutic programs.

We have seen evidence of great progress! Children who were silent have begun to speak; those who were immobilized are sitting and walking with the help of intensive therapy; and all are learning to interact with others and communicate their needs appropriately.

Russian ombudsman investigates another adopted child abuse case

Russian ombudsman investigates another adopted child abuse case

Russian children rights ombudsman Pavel Astakhov on Saturday elaborated on one more case of abuse of a Russian boy adopted by U.S. parents.

Astakhov said in late December he received a letter from a woman who has seen a TV show in which a certain Jessica Bigley from Anchorage, Alaska, unveiled her methods of upbringing her recalcitrant son, such as pouring cold water over him and mouth washing with hot pepper sauce.

Astakhov said his service has finally identified the boy. It is Daniil Bukharov from Magadan and the actions of his adoptive U.S. mum must be regarded as cruel treatment.

Bigley is due to be tried on the 28th of this month.

Russia is one of the largest sources of adoptions for U.S. families, accounting for about 10 percent of foreign adoptions. The mistreatment of Russian children adopted in the United States has attracted public attention in recent months as a result of a number of highly publicized incidents.

In April, a 7-year-old boy was placed alone on a one-way flight to Moscow by his U.S. adoptive mother with a note claiming he was "psychopathic."

Following the case, Russia threatened to prohibit child adoptions by U.S. citizens until the countries sign an intergovernmental agreement guaranteeing the rights of adopted children.
