3 maanden later - 3 months later

Wel, het is nu bijna 3 maanden dat ik op die eerste plaats sta, en weinig is verandert. Door stress eens een paar dagen ziek geweest en daarna het knoppeke omgedraait. Die telefoon zal wel rinkelen als hij rinkelt. Het is nog wachten op de thuiskomst van 3 dossiers uit gelgela alvorens daar na evaluatie volop gestart kan worden met toewijzingen. En deze week zou er bezoek zijn van de ambassade aan het 4de weeshuis, Almaz Ashene! Als daar alles vlot verloopt kan men ook starten met proefdossiers. Een termijn durf ik daar echt niet op kleven. Wie nu een toewijzing krijgt zal waarschijnlijk kunnen afreizen in de zomermaanden. Nog even geduld dus!

Almost 3 months now I have been in the first spot! Little has changed! Due to stress I have had a few sickness days, after that I decided I needed to chill down, and the telephone will ring when it rings. Nothing I can do to speed it up! 3rd orphanage, Gelgela, its still waiting for the trial files to come home, but those people left this week! And the embassy is visiting the 4th orphanage Almaz Ashene this week. If all goes well, then soon they can start 6 trial files. But I can not put a timeframe on that! People who get a matching now or in May will be able to travel in the summer holidays! A little more patience :)

Older Children Find Homes in Germany

Monday, April 20, 2009 Older Children Find Homes in Germany Recently, I was reading some information that I found on the ICBF website. In January, there was a great article about some older children that found adoptive homes in Germany. Here is a translation: Thanks to the project “Summer Miracles”, developed between the Colombian Institute of Family Welfare (ICBF), the Kid Save Foundation, and the German adoption organization -- ADA -- five foreign families are celebrating the end of their adoption process. In the final phase of their adoptions, the five German families were visiting Colombia after having spent 4 months in Germany with 7 Colombian children between the ages of 4 and 10. This experience was part of a pilot plan that ICBF is trying out in Germany, and fortunately it has had very positive results -- having opened a way for children that are difficult to place for adoption find homes. The parents, that had met all of the legal requirements to be adoptive parents, had been on the waiting list to receive children younger than 6 years of age. However, after experiencing life with these older children -- which was overseen by German authorities -- they decided to accept the boys and girls as their own children. The German families proclaimed that not only was the Vacation time spent in Germany a successful, but also the adoption process in Colombia. They recognized the dedication and toughtfulness that ICBF put into each case. Isabelle and Berend Marks, the adoptive parents of one of the Colombian girls reported, “ We are happy because our daughter has adapted so well to our family. We are grateful for this opportunity that was given to us.” The novelty of this new pilot program is that the children were able to spend 4 months in what would be their new country. This situation allowed them to create ties and offered them the emotional stability to accept their new life in a new culture. In order to guarantee the sustainability of this project, the ICBF, headed by the Director General, Elvira Forero Hernández, seeks the support of the Ministry of Foreign Relations in order to receive support from other embassies.

Child Law Under Revision - by Wezi Tjaronda

Child Law Under Revision - by Wezi Tjaronda

20 April 2009

WINDHOEK – The Child Care and Protection Bill will be revised to suit the needs of the Namibian children.
The Bill, first drafted in 1994 and revised a number of times, is intended to replace the Children’s Act 33 of 1960, which is outdated and is not in keeping with the interest of children in the country. The Ministry of Gender Equality and Child Welfare is revising the piece of legislation, with technical support from the Legal Assistance Centre. The technical working group includes the ministry, LAC, Ministry of Health and Social Services and the Ministry of Justice.

The LAC said last week law reform in the area is needed for children in Namibia to receive the care and protection they deserve.

The Bill addresses children’s courts, early intervention services, procedures for removing endangered children from the home, foster care, adoption, child trafficking and child headed households, which are critical areas that are needed to ensure that the rights of children in Namibia are protected and upheld.

Russia advocates the strengthening of procedures for adoption of Russian children by foreigners and the establishment of protective measures against violence against them, said Chief of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs Sergei Lavrov in the pages of the Rossiiskaya Gazeta.

MOSCOU, 16 avril - RIA Novosti. La Russie prône le renforcement des modalités d'adoption d'enfants russes par des étrangers et l'instauration de mesures de protection contre la violence exercée contre eux, a déclaré le chef du ministère russe des Affaires étrangères Serguéi Lavrov dans les pages de la Rossiïskaïa gazeta.
"La Russie prône le renforcement des droits des enfants adoptés et l'instauration de mesures de protection contre la violence exercée contre ces derniers dans les familles adoptives. Les problèmes de l'adoption internationale relèvent désormais de la compétence du ministère russe de l'Education et de la Recherche qui a élaboré et présenté au gouvernement de la Fédération de Russie des propositions axées sur le renforcement du contrôle des organismes et autres organisations étrangères chargées de l'adoption d'enfants sur le territoire de la Russie", a précisé M.Lavrov.
La mise en oeuvre de ces propositions "permettra plus facilement aux employés des représentations consulaires du MID de rendre visite aux enfants adoptés et de déceler en temps opportun les cas de maltraitance à leur égard".
"Il est suggéré d'introduire la pratique d'accords réglementant l'adoption internationale sur l'exemple de l'accord signé en 2008 entre la Fédération de Russie et l'Italie sur coopération dans la sphère de l'adoption d'enfants", a souligné le ministre.
"Le règlement de ces questions au niveau international consacrera officiellement les fonctions de contrôle des organisations mandatées à cet effet, évitera que les personnes coupables de maltraitance sur des enfants adoptés puissent se soustraire à leur responsabilité", a ajouté Serguéi Lavrov.
Selon le diplomate, seuls les Etats-Unis "cherchent des échappatoires à la proposition russe d'accords bilatéraux".
"Je pense que la question devra être formulée sans ambages: pas d'accord - pas d'adoption", a conclu le ministre russe.

De adoptiebureaus hebben ellenlange wachtlijsten. Een groeiend aantal aspirant-ouders wil de adoptie daarom (deels) zelf regelen. Minister Hirsch Ballin wil dat juist verbieden.

Woman moves HC to get back grandkids

Woman moves HC to get back grandkids

MUMBAI: Kisabai Lokhande, a 66-year-old illiterate woman from a Satara slum has filed a habeas corpus petition in the Bombay high court to get
 
back her two granddaughters who were given in an inter-country adoption and sent to Spain.

The issue which highlights the need for greater check in processing eligibility for adoptions, is that the agency had claimed that the two minor girls were abandoned and no consent was required from family members.

Lokhande had initiated a search for her grandchildren last year although they had been adopted in 2005. She moved court as the last resort, wanting the HC to direct the DGP and the local cops to register complaints for various offences including kidnapping, cheating, using forged documents and illegally declaring a child under 12 as being abandoned-an offence attracting up to seven years in jail.

She had complained to the police this January but to no avail, her lawyer Pradeep Havnur said. He added, "She is aggrieved at the police apathy in not registering an FIR against the accused, including Preet Mandir, an adoption agency in Pune. The agency allegedly colluded with the Satara Child Welfare Committee to declare the girls as destitute.''
