Die schönsten Geschichten aus dem Jahr 1990 (adoption from Cluj)

20 Jahre SZ-Magazin | Heft 20/2010

Die schönsten Geschichten aus dem Jahr 1990

In diesem Jahr haben wir rumänische Waisenkinder auf dem Weg nach Westen begleitet, der Stadt New York eine düstere und eine paar Nachwuchskickern eine glänzende Zukunft prophezeit, das Aussterben der Nashörner beklagt und die Frau des Republikaner-Vorsitzenden Franz Schönhuber porträtiert.

1990: Acht deutsche Ehepaare fahren im Konvoi nach Rumänien, um Waisenkinder zu adoptieren. So kommen die Zwillinge Maria und Magnolia nach Ravensburg. 2010: Die beiden müssen immer noch an ihre Schwester denken.

Dream Foundation: Three exceptional ladies

Eugenia Stoyanova

Zorka Aphusova

Galina Kubratova M.Sc, Ps.D

These three exceptional ladies have valuable and rich experience with international adoptions. Galina Kubratova is Director while Zorka Aphusova and Eugenia Stoyanova were Members of a Team organized as Advisory Office for prospective adoptive parents and adoptive parents. This Advisory Office operated during the period 2000-2003 on the territory of Sofia and three other big cities in Bulgaria. That was the only and unique project carried out ever in Bulgaria. For its three years of existence the Advisory Office provided counseling to tremendous number of prospective and adoptive parents.
These three professionals practice in the field of international adoptions. Zorka Aphusova has been Director of Orphanage “Nadejda” in Sofia since 1993 and as such she helped dozens successful international adoptions by monitoring, facilitating and following them. Even more, she keeps track of her former alumni’s development even today and observes the main problems arising after completion of adoptions as well as the tools to resolve them. Eugenia works at the Orphanage “Nadejda” too (since 1998). She provides one-on-one services to the children who are in process of international adoption and corrects their multiple problems, such as speech, auditory, intellectual and developmental ones. Galina Kubratova is operating Medical Psychologist and Therapist and both children and parents are within the scope of her patients. Galina was also a lecturer in Developmental Psychology in the Department of Social and Personal Psychology at the SofiaUniversity. She is author of over 40 publications in national newspapers and is a court expert with rights on independent psychological evaluation.
Zorka, Galina and Eugenia are co-authors of a manual forstudents of pedagogy – “Integrated Education Project”, in twoparts – “Theory” and “Empirism”, published in 2001 and 2003, which deals with the problems of education of children with specific educational needs (hearing, speech, intellectual problems, etc.).
Zorka is also co-author of monographical collection "Orientation, Motivation, Adaptation - "Hope" Ideological Project (Patterns for socialization of children with different family status). This collection summarizes long-lasting research experience of the team at Orphanage "Nadejda" regarding integrated socialization of children at age 3-7.

Child Protection Bulgaria

CHILD PROTECTION

Bulgaria

Bulgaria

Bulgaria has the highest rate of child institutionalisation in Europe, with an estimated 16,000 – 20,000 children living in orphanages. Less than 2% of these children are thought to be orphans.

ARK has worked in partnership with the Bulgarian Government since 2006 to plan and support reform of long-term institutional care in the Municipality of Stara Zagora (home to the highest number of institutionalised children in the country). This was the first time the Government had ever explicitly committed to the replacement of large-scale, long-term institutional care with family and community based services and marked a huge breakthrough for both ARK and the future of child-care in Bulgaria

In 2008, ARK closed Nadejda Home for Children Deprived of Parental Care, completing Bulgaria’s first quality institutional closure. In addition, over 60 further children have been moved from other institutions. All children have been reintegrated with their immediate or extended family or found homes with foster carers, adoptive families or in Small Group Homes.

Legislation about egg donation in Europe and in Russia

Legislation about egg donation in Europe and in Russia

Legislation on egg donation in Europe and in Russia

Not all countries give permission to women to donate eggs. That is the strong obstacle for women who want to receive egg donation in Europe. Russia is one of the European countries where the laws are most liberal when it comes to legislation related to egg donation. Donor anonymity is guaranteed, and donors are compensated by clinics. This means that it is possible for us at AVA-Peter to uphold a database of egg donors who are willing to offer their services to childless couples or single women.

The rules on donating eggs

Russia is one of the few countries with no considerable legal restrictions on egg donation in Europe. It allows anonymous egg donation as long as the donor’s age is between 20 and 35 and has at least one healthy child of her own. Donation by a donor you know is also allowed, for example when the donor is a female relative or friend.

KLIK HER FOR AT STØTTE DETTE PROJEKT!

 


Cheshire Home, som blev stiftet i 1958, er et hjem for handicappede, især polioramte. Hjemmet ligger i den sydlige udkant af Chennai (tidligere Madras) i dejlige omgivelser tæt ved kysten. På hjemmet bor ca. 50 drenge og unge mænd samt ca. 25 piger og kvinder – alle med særdeles svære handicaps, de fleste med polio.
Hjemmet er pænt og rent, og det kan oplyses, at Terre Des Hommes for en del år siden støttede hjemmet med indretning af nyt køkken. Endvidere lykkedes det i 2003/2004 Terre Des Hommes at skaffe midler til opførelse af nyt svømmebassin til de handicappede – i samarbejde med ”DGI-byen” i København. Svømmebassinet, som kostede cirka 200.000 kroner, bliver nu flittigt brugt i forbindelse med genoptræning af de handicappede.
Der gøres et meget stort arbejde for at aktivere og videreudvikle alle, som bor på hjemmet – fortrinsvis via nogle håndværker aktiviteter (bl.a. trykning af foldere m.m.) – aktiviteter der hjælper til en bedre motorik, og så giver det samtidig en mindre indkomst til dækning af nogle af de faste udgifter. Resten af udgifterne, dvs. den almindelige daglige drift, betaling for børnenes skolegang, uniformer, mad m.m. dækkes via et tilskud fra den indiske stat samt via et Terre Des Hommes, fadderskabsprojekt, hvor danske sponsorer p.t. indbetaler i alt cirka 20.000 kroner årligt.
Cheshire Home fik i øvrigt besøg af Dronning Elizabeth i 1997 i anledning af hendes 50-års regeringsjubilæum, og hjemmet får i øvrigt ofte udenlandsk besøg – også fra Danmark, da man gerne, og med stolthed, viser hjemmet frem, så man kan få et indtryk af, hvad gode gerninger kan føre til, når viljen er tilstede.
Terre Des Hommes har ofte 2 danske volontører tilknyttet hjemmet. Det er fortrinsvis piger, der "tjener point" til deres videregående uddannelse i Danmark (oftest sygeplejersker og lign.), men også lidt ældre ægtepar, som bl.a. har været uddannet som henholdsvis tømrer og terapeut, har boet på Cheshire Home som volontører, og som dermed har været en stor hjælp med at ”gå til hånde” på hjemmet.
Ovennævnte Terre Des Hommes fadderskabsprojekt støtter de 38 børn og unge, der bor på hjemmet - alle med særdeles svære handicaps og en fattig baggrund, som - uden hjælp - gør det næsten umuligt for dem at få en uddannelse, da dette kræver en specialskole. Hjælpen sikrer således, at de alle får en uddannelse, som gør det lettere for dem at få et efterfølgende godt betalt arbejde, da mange af børnene, på trods af deres handicaps, faktisk er i besiddelse af en god intelligens.
Projektet er et gruppefadderskabsprojekt, hvilket vil sige, at alle donorer støtter alle børnene. Cheshire Home er meget præcise med at tilsende os, og dermed de danske faddere, en rapport over børnenes udvikling 2 gange årligt.
Konklusion:
Et projekt vi har støttet gennem længere tid, som kører perfekt samt med store fremtidsperspektiver.
Vi kender såvel stedet som stedets personel godt via tidligere besøg. Der er således stor tillid til, at dette projekt kan køre videre og evt. udvikles i årene fremover.
Der er kapacitet til, og stort behov for, at hjælpe endnu flere handicappede børn og unge, men det kræver flere faddere……
