QUESTION

 

REF: STATE 43700

 

1. (SBU) Poloff met Dagmar Hovohradska, MFA's Human Rights

Department, March 22 to discuss reftel demarche on Romanian

intercountry adoption. Hovohradska said the Human Rights

Department will research the issue and provide a response

within a week. However, Hovohradska was unsure what the Czech

position would be in light of a recent intercountry adoption

involving the death of a three-year old Czech boy. The

Swedish couple who adopted the boy is now accused of killing

him. As a result of this case, Hovohradska predicted the

passage of a new Czech law on intercountry adoption that

would require psychiatric testing of all prospective adoptive

parents.
