The Zambia affair exposed numerous illogicalities and difficulties with child adoptions, not only in international adoptions, but also in adoptions in Croatia. Although it was not talked about until now, Jelena Velja?a's melodramatic article in Jutarnji list reopened the issue of adoption of siblings, which apparently in some cases was already taking place contrary to the recommendations of the Ministry of Labour, Pension System, Family and Social Policy. We bring several stories about the adoption of brothers and sisters from Africa, who ended up in different families in Croatia.

The case of Azra Imamovi? Suboši? from the Zambia affair

"Azra was ecstatic when they told her that they had informed her that two girls, sisters and a brother, were ready for adoption in the orphanage. She tried for months to find adoptive parents for her daughter's brother and sister and she succeeded. Now, of course, that has been stopped", it was learned a few days ago in an article by Jelena Velja?a for Jutarnji list. We are talking about Azra Imamovi? Suboši?, known from the Zambia affair, in which eight Croats were accused of human trafficking.

"Azra heard about the possibility of adopting children from DR Congo from a friend who has a friend who adopted a child that way. Azra mediated the arrangements for the adoption of children from the DR Congo - namely, she also found adopters for the sister and brother of the girl she was going to adopt," Utikate announced on Twitter.
