Copii, în orfelinatul de pe Toamnei

Publica?ia britanic? „Daily Telegraph“,  a dat publicit??ii,  în urm? cu dou? zilepe siteul telegraph.co.uk,  un material scandalos în care vorbe?te despre un orfelinat din  Bistri?a drept un loc al infernului. Conducerea Centrului este ?ocat? de afirma?iile din material.


taguri

Un articol publicat în urm?  cu dou? zile pe Telegraph.co.uk  descrie un  orfelinat din  Bistri?a drept un loc al infernului. Potrivit site-ului,   atmosfera din orfelinatul, care dup? toate descrierile este Centrul de  Plasament din Bistri?a, n-ar fi departe de imaginile din orfelinatele române?ti de trist? amintire de acum 20 de ani : copii chinui?i, obliga?i sa doarm? în p?tu?uri excesiv de mici pentru vârsta lors au ?inu?i for?at în camer?. „Am întrebat-o pe  Ana Maria, directorul orfelinatului, în care pat doarme copilul de 7 ani , pentru c? în camer? erau doar paturi pentru bebelu?i  «În patul din col?», a subliniat ea cu o ridicare din umeri. «Nu se poate întinde, dar asta este tot ce avem pentru el»", invoc? un dialog jurnalista britanic? Angela Levin, autoarea articolului din The Telegraph. Jurnalista repro?eaz? ?i lipsa lifturilor ?i a scaunelor cu rotile într-o institu?ie în care sunt ?i  copiii cu handicap, iar întrega atmosfer? este descris? drept una fetid?: „nici unul dintre ei nu a fost vreodat? afar?, iar mirosul de urin? ?i fecale a fost cople?itor", descrie britanica descrierea centrului de plasament Bistri?a.  Ea se mai întreab? cum mai poate exista înc? un asemenea loc la  20 de ani dup? ce au fosrt prezentate întregii lumi. „Trebuia s? fie închise demult", conchide ziarista.


Înso?itorul jurnalistei o contrazice

Înso?itorul jurnalistei britanice de la The Telegraph, ?tef?n D?r?bu? directorul unei asocia?ii române?ti, citat de asemenea in articol, dezminte afirma?iile jurnalistei Angela Levin  ?i se delimiteaz? de materialul publicat. Acesta este citat în articol în calitate de  înso?itor ?i prezentat drept chiar „mai ?ocat ?i mai  furios" decât jurnalista . D?r?bu? a luat pozi?ie oficial? împotriva acestui articol chiar pe site-ul  HHC România, organiza?ia de caritate pe care o conduce. „Din p?cate, articolul publicat  demonstreaz? lips? de m?sur? ?i o abordare dezechilibrat? a sistemului de protec?ia copilului în România. Nu pot subscrie la aprecierile extreme despre sistem, cum nu pot fi de acord nici cu etichet?rile negative la adresa autorit??ilor statului" ,precizeaz? D?r?bu?.


Conducerea Direc?iei de Protec?ie a Drepturilor Copilului, care administreaz? Centrul de Plasament din strada Toamnei se declar? ?ocat? de afirma?iile din articolul britanic : „Prin luna octombrie au f?cut o vizit? foarte scurt? la centrul din strada Toamnei patru reprezentan?i ai unui ONG, care lucra cu Guvernul României. Nu a spus niciunul c? ar fi jurnali?ti. Ne-au promis c? o s? ne ajute cu specializarea personalului. Nu ne a?teptam la asemenea inven?ii", explic? Olimpia Ababi, directorul adjunct al Direc?iei de Protec?ie a  Drepturilor Copilului din Bistri?a. Ea spune c? niciunul dintre cazurile prezentate nu corespunde realit??ii, a?a cum nici nu exist? vreo directoare sau angajat cu numele de Ana Maria. De exemplu, Florin, cel despre care jurnalista afirm?  c? are 17 ani ?i este închis for?at singur într-o camer?, are de fapt 21 de ani ?i urmeaz? zilnic cursurile ?colii speciale „Lacrima".

Bolivian boy has found a family, at last (Canada, not finalised)

Guardians continues to try to untangle legal red tape to adopt and establish citizenship for the 11-year-old
November 27, 2010
BY VALERIE HILL, RECORD STAFF
Jheyson Schlitt seems oblivious to the turmoil brewing around him.
“I just cry and cry,” said his guardian, Lisa Schlitt who along with her husband Patrick, is desperately trying to adopt the 11 year old, although there is no adoption agreement between Canada and his home country of Bolivia.
Lisa knew from the outset the process would be difficult, battling policies of a country with deep national pride and a disjointed court system. She did find one loophole which allowed the Schlitt’s to get Jheyson into Canada, and they gave him their last name to make the boy feel loved, feel at home. Patrick said “he’s never had a family.”
Jheyson had been in Bolivian orphanages since 10 months old having no idea that a world away was a woman who would sacrifice everything to be the boy’s mother.
In Sept. 2006, the Kitchener woman and her mother Carol Dolezsar, of Cambridge, decided to volunteer as well as raise money for an orphanage in Bolivia, a country where Lisa had a friend.
Searching the internet, they found several possibilities though only one responded to the offer, a children’s mission near the city of Cochabamba in central Bolivia.
With her family’s help, Lisa raised $7,000 in donations before leaving for Bolivia where she set out to prove that individuals can make a difference. What she found was unexpected.
The Record featured Lisa in March 2008, after a poem she created about Jheyson was published in Chicken Soup for the Adopted Soul.
“There was no expression in his face, he just stood by himself,” she recalled. “I hugged him.”
Jheyson’s face was expressionless; his body slumped as if he’d simply given up.
“He had been picked on, labeled having a learning disability,” she said. “For two weeks, I took him everywhere with me, we ate popsicles, went to the park, went to the market. He was seven years old. While we were there, the difference was huge. He was smiling.” Jheyson also started calling her Mom but only too soon, it was time for Lisa to come home, leaving a tearful Jheyson behind with a promise she would bring him to Canada.
“I called him several times a week,” she said. “I left him, but I had other contacts, they kept an eye on him.” She also contacted a lawyer in Bolivia to start adoption proceedings. “They wanted money up front with zero guarantees,” she said.
Jheyson, who knew rudimentary English, worked at mastering the language while Lisa worked at bringing him to Canada though Bolivia’s bureaucratic wheels grind slowly and often backwards. His birth certificate was lost, important documents were misplaced, lawyers moved on, judges were reassigned, one problem lead to the next.
Then, disaster struck. Jheyson’s orphanage came under government investigation and many of the children were moved to other facilities. She called her friends in Bolivia.
“I panicked, and called them and asked them to take him,” she said. “There are 80 orphanages in that city. It would be impossible to find him again.”
Fortunately, Jheyson did not get caught in the shuffle. Lisa boarded a plane for Bolivia and while there, applied for a Visa for Jheyson. “He came three weeks later,” she said, escorted by the wife of the orphanage’s former director. The Bolivian courts agreed to give Lisa, a personal support worker and Patrick, a funeral director, legal guardianship while the boy was in a Canadian school.
The Schlitts had prepared a room for him, wrapped Christmas presents in December then purchased a Halloween costume the following October. When he finally arrived, Nov. 7, 2008 they celebrated.
“Because he has a learning disability, he can come to Canada to go to school,” she explained. The couple was taken aback to learn the Waterloo Region District School Board charges $14,200 per year for an international student but luckily, they discovered the 38-student Carmel New Church School, an independent Christian facility in Kitchener charged $3,520 a year. “They’re phenomenal,” said Lisa, noting Jheyson no longer exhibits learning disabilities.
Jheyson is part of their family, but the story hasn’t ended. “We have custody from the courts in Bolivia and Canada recognizes that, but they won’t give him permanent residency,” she said. Without it, Jheyson does not qualify for citizenship, health care or education. Every cent must come from the Schlitt’s pocketbook and with four biological children at home ranging from 12 to 18, it’s a heavy financial burden.
Patrick estimates that between lawyers and consultants it’s cost them around $30,000, but it’s not about the money. “We don’t mind paying for him,” he said. “It would be nice to see an end point. You’re shooting in the dark.”
“Lisa has gone through so much,” said Kitchener immigration consultant, Douglas Dunnington, who has witnessed the level of care and love Jheyson has received with the Schlitts. “This little guy warrants facility (in Canada).”
Jheyson entered the country on a visa, and received visitor’s status which ran out after six months. Dunnington successfully applied for an extension which is about to run out Dec. 31. He’s applying for a second extension, trying to keep the boy in Canada while Lisa and Patrick run the gauntlet of adoption proceedings.
“What are we going to do, send him back?” questioned Dunnington. “Let’s hope some common sense applies.”

Adoption to become easier, Ministry to put information, photos online

Adoption to become easier, Ministry to put information, photos online
Teena Thacker Posted online: Thu Oct 07 2010, 05:27 hrs
New Delhi : Adopting a child may soon become hassle free. In a bid to make the process simple and easy, the Ministry of Women and Child Development (WCD) has developed an online system where applicants can register and select a child for adoption.
The National Informatics Centre (NIC) has designed the Child Adoption Resource Information and Guidance System (CARINGS), putting online information about children up for adoption and their photographs. The system will be launched soon by Minister for Women and Child Development Krishna Tirath.
“This will end all paperwork and unending wait to adopt a child. Interested parents will not have to go hunting all around,” says Tirath. It currently takes at least six months to adopt a child.
The portal, say officials, will contain information of both the interested parents. Once they register themselves online putting in personal information like their motivation to adopt a child, medical information, whether they have a previously adopted child etc, they are given the choice of the adoption centre that they would want to deal with.
Once the centre informs them about the children that can be adopted, the parents can list their preferences such as gender, age etc. Within minutes they would be sent information including that related to health along with comments of a physician. A photograph of the child will accompany the same.
Based on this information, the interested parents will be allowed three choices. “The interested parents just can't reject a child one after another and cannot approach two adoption centers at a time,” says Anu J Singh, Secretary, CARA.
The online process will first be launched for domestic users and then extended to inter-country adoption.
Sreedharan Nair, Director of Delhi Council for Child Welfare (DCCW), which runs adoption programme Palna says that an online facility will definitely make things easier. “There is a lot of paperwork which is required before proceeding for adoption. After the launch of this facility, all this paperwork will end making the process easier and hassle free,” he said.

The Telegraph: Orfelinatele din Romania, imaginea iadului pe pamant

Telegraph: Orfelinatele din Romania, imaginea iadului pe pamant

Situatia copiilor institutionalizati din Romania ramane in continuare un subiect "savuros" pentru reporterii publicatiilor occidentale, acestia revenind periodic in tara noastra pentru a descoperi tragediile unor suflete nevinovate.

"Nu vezi prea des cum arata iadul, dar o versiune a acestuia exista undeva in nordul Romaniei, in Bistrita. Acolo este un loc care ar fi nepotrivit pentru animale, ca sa nu vorbim de oameni, dar care totusi este singura casa pentru 35 de suflete de numai cateva saptamani, pana la tineri aflati in pragul maturitatii", asa isi incepe Angela Levin reportajul scris pentru The Telegraph.

Jurnalista povesteste cum orfanii, cu totii avand diferite grade de handicap fizic si mintal, sunt nevoiti sa traiasca la comun intr-o camera micuta, dar si despre Ana-Maria, directorul orfelinatului, care nu arata nici cel mai mic semn de compasiune pentru copiii aflati in grija ei si a institutiei pe care o conduce.

In reportaj se mai vorbeste despre "mirosul coplesitor" de urina si fecale care persista in incaperile vizitate, care sunt atat toalete, cat si camere de zi pentru orfani.

Romania's Lost Children (Blog Emma Griffith)

November 23, 2007
Romania's Lost Children




Watch the program: Part 1 | Part 2

The little baby boy lay awake in his cot. He was bound in swaddling, as is the tradition in these parts, and I was aching to pick him up. The doctor told me his name: Emanuel Bizgan. He was five months old, the son of a homeless woman, and had been abandoned at the hospital.

Emanuel is one of a new generation of orphans in Romania. These days babies abandoned at hospitals are likely to stay there until their second birthday. New laws banning the institutionalization of children under two have backfired for them. Only when they turn two will they be legally allowed to go to a children's home. Not that that would be much better.

The doctor in charge, Dr. Monica Nicoara, has become a babysitter for dozens of newborns and toddlers. There's nothing medically wrong with the children – they've simply had the misfortune of being given up by their parents.

"They have no affiliation, no stability; 'that’s my mummy, I go to my mummy, I am safe with my mummy. I have many mummies – anyone is okay, but which is mine?,'" she tells me. "It is not a personal relationship here."

We filmed Dr. Nicoara and her charges at the Baia Mare hospital in northern Romania. Some of the older babies who could sit up were rocking – child welfare experts say that's a sign that they’re suffering from a lack of stimulation. I noticed something else odd about the ward – the babies weren’t crying. There were a dozen little ones there and they were all quiet. They'd given up on crying. That above all was hard to learn – the best way babies can communicate their needs and these ones had given up. They had learned that crying didn't get them what they wanted. How could it – when their were 23 of them to care for and just 3 nurses on the ward?

The babies didn't cry but by the end of this shoot I think our entire crew was holding back tears. We knew that this was going to be an emotional story to tell. By the time we finished filming, we'd all had a cuddle of Emanuel and some of his friends in the ward. We really wanted to take them home (wryly joking that they'd fit in our backpacks). But even if we were serious, it would have been impossible: International adoption has been banned in Romania.

The story became personal for me later that same day. I received an e-mail from a dear friend in Australia who was desperately trying to get pregnant and having all sorts of problems. She really wanted a child and it was painful to think that here I was meeting so many unwanted children. It brought home the tragedy of this story and the importance of telling it. Romania has made great strides in its child welfare system since the horrors of the Communist regime – but there are still too many babies here who may never know a mother's love.

Romania, petizione pro-adozioni: le adesioni volano a quota 8500

banchetto_firmeContinuano ad arrivare le adesioni alla petizione pro-adozioni promossa lo scorso 2 giugno da un coordinamento di 14 associazioni e ONG rumene unite per la riapertura delle adozioni internazionali. Sono arrivate a quota 8.500 le firme a sostegno della petizione che continua a raccogliere adesioni con una sottoscrizione di firme nelle principali città rumene. In un primo momento la mobilitazione era partita a Brasov, poi si è allargata a Constanta, Cluj Napoca e Prahova. La protesta contro la chiusura delle adozioni internazionali è arrivata anche sul web, dove si continuano a raccogliere adesioni.

Servono ancora più di 90mila firme per chiedere al Parlamento di inserire nel testo di modifica alla legge 273/2004 il ripristino delle adozioni.

Il Governo di Bucarest ha bloccato in più occasioni la richiesta di riaprire le adozioni internazionali dei minori rumeni, nonostante questa linea politica sia in pieno contrasto con la Convenzione de l’Aja del 1993 e la Convenzione per i Diritti del Fanciullo di New York del 1989, entrambe ratificate dalla Romania.

Con la raccolta firme si intende quindi sollecitare il Parlamento ad abrogare l’articolo 39 della legge sull’adozione attualmente in vigore (273/2004) e l’articolo 45 della proposta di modifica della stessa Legge. Allo stesso tempo con la petizione le associazioni rumene chiedono la riapertura delle procedure di adozioni internazionali per i minori rumeni che non trovano una famiglia disposta ad adottarli nel loro Paese.

Petitie privind dreptul la adoptie internationala

categorie: Proiecte de lege, legislatie, Social.

destinatar: Guvernul Romaniei

Petitie privind dreptul la adoptie internationala

Semnatura ta realizeaza interesul superior al copilului !

Asociatia Catharsis Brasov, sustinuta de un grup de Organizatii Neguvernamentale, care promoveaza Drepturile Copilului, dar si de tineri care au parasit centrele de plasament inainte sau dupa implinirea varstei de 18 ani, propune Societatii Civile prezenta petitie, privind dreptul la adoptie internationala a copiilor abandonati care nu sunt ceruti in adoptie nationala.

Sansa copiilor romani abandonati, de a creste intr-o familie, a fost spulberata in ultimii 10 ani de Moratoriul impus adoptiilor internationale in octombrie 2001 dar si de art. 39 din Legea nr. 273/2004 -privind regimul juridic al adoptiei:

“Adoptia internationala a copilului care are domiciliul in Romania poate fi incuviintata numai in situatia in care adoptatorul sau unul dintre sotii din familia adoptatoare care domiciliaza in strainatate este bunicul copilului pentru care a fost incuviintata deschiderea procedurii adoptiei interne."

Zeci de mii de copii abandonati, din care peste 4,000 orfani, care nu sunt ceruti în adoptie nationala, sunt condamnati sa traiasca fara familie, dac? art. 45 din proiectul Guvernului Romaniei de modificare a Legii nr. 273/2004 va fi legiferat in forma actuala:

“Adoptia internationala a copilului care are domiciliul in Romania poate fi incuviintata numai in situatia in care adoptatorul sau unul dintre sotii din familia adoptatoare care domiciliaza in strainatate este ruda pana la gradul al III-lea inclusiv cu copilul pentru care a fost incuviintata deschiderea procedurii adoptiei interne.”

Ambele articole incalca dreptul fundamental al copilului la o familie, drept constitutional prevazut in Legea nr. 272/2004 privind drepturile copilului (art.6), in Conventia Organizatiei Natiunilor Unite privind Drepturile Copilului incheiata la New York in 20 noiembrie 1989, ratificata de Parlamentul Romaniei in septembrie 1990, in Conventia asupra protectiei copiilor si cooperarii in materia adoptiei internationale incheiata la Haga in 29 mai 1993, ratificata de Parlamentul Romaniei in octombrie 1994. Cele doua articole discrimineaza atat copiii cat si familiile care doresc sa adopte, incalcand principiul care sta la baza promovarii si respectarii drepturilor copilului “egalitate de sanse si nediscriminare”.

Cerem Parlamentului Romaniei abrogarea art. 39 din Legea 273 /2004 cat si renuntarea la art. 45 din proiectul Guvernului Romaniei de modificare a Legii nr. 273/2004, care mentine de fapt Moratoriul instituit in 2001, privind interzicerea adoptiilor internationale.

Solicitam redeschiderea procedurii adoptiilor internationale pentru copiii romani, de catre persoane sau familii care au domiciliul pe teritoriul altui stat, parte a Conventiei de la Haga, astfel incat, copiii adoptati sa poata beneficia in tara straina de garantiile si normele echivalente acelora existente in cazul unei adoptii nationale. 

De asemenea, solicitam instituirea unui cadru riguros de derulare a adoptiilor internationale, care sa confere garantii ferme de realizare a acestora numai in cazuri justificate de interesul superior al copilului si sub controlul strict al institutiilor de specialitate ale statului. 

Citeste si semneaza petitia pentru abrogarea art. nr. 39 din Legea nr. 273/2004 privind regimul juridic al adoptiei si pentru modificarea art. nr. 45 din proiectul de modificare a Legii nr. 273/2004. Ajuta-ne sa strangem 100,000 semnaturi! Trimiteti mai departe si copiii va vor fi recunoscatori.

Adozioni Internazionali Romania: si lavora sulla nuova legge.

International Adoption Romania: working on the new law.
Continue the battle for Romania to propose a new law on adoption, which would open the opportunity for children to be welcomed also by Romanians foreign couples.

On 18 October in Brasov was held a meeting for the reform of the international law on adoption attended by the President of Catharsis, Nitrogen Popescu, representatives of two of the country DGASPC (General Directorate for Social Assistance and the Protection of Children) and a representative of Aibi Romania.

For the District of Mures this was a legal adoption of the service and the head of the Service, the district of Dolj was instead represented by a service operator adoptions.

Catharsis occasion has collected contributions from DGASPC present and those absent, however, who have submitted their claims, with the intent to create a unique proposal whose heart was the reopening of international adoption.

The aim is then to present this project to the Parliamentary Commission for Human Rights, Religion and Problems of National Minorities, which Catharsis has already had a hearing on October 6 last year.

The next step is to harmonize this proposal, approved by the local bodies and private social organizations, with one already filed earlier this year Romeno Office for Adoptions, so that it can actually submit to the National Legislative Council before being approved.

==================

Romania Adozioni Internazionali: passi in avanti verso la riforma della legge.

Passi importanti si stanno compiendo in Romania per l’affermazione e la difesa del diritto dei minori a “ricevere le cure necessarie al loro benessere” e quindi al loro diritto a vivere e crescere in una famiglia anche tramite l’adozione internazionale, diritto che dal 2001 in questa nazione è di fatto negato. 

È del 25 ottobre scorso la presentazione di una proposta di modifica dell’attuale legge rumena che regolamenta le adozioni e quindi anche le adozioni internazionali.

Quello che è stato fatto è l’ultimo passo del lavoro compiuto dell’Associazione rumena Catharsis in collaborazione con i Distretti per la protezione dell’infanzia di tutta la Romania, alcuni enti autorizzati italiani tra cui AiBi e Amici dell’Adozione.

La proposta di legge elaborata  è stata presentata alla Commissione per i diritti umani del parlamento rumeno perché possa essere così approvata una nuova legge entro la fine dell’anno.

Nella prima settimana di novembre l’Associazione Catharsis, guidata dal Presidente Azota Popescu, dovrà presentarsi per la terza volta di fronte alla suddetta commissione perchè la legge poi possa passare al vaglio del Parlamento rumeno e tentare l’approvazione.

OrphanAid Africa urges government to phase out orphanages

September 09, 2010

Accra, Sept. 9, GNA - OrphanAid Africa, a non-governmental organization that supports orphaned children, has advocated for kinship and extended family care systems to replace the institutionalization of children at orphanages.

The international NGO said all over the world, abuse was common in orphanages and called on government to set a deadline to close down all orphanages.

In a statement reacting to recent revelations of abuse at the Osu Children's Home in Accra, the NGO said orphanages were often a cover for child trafficking and called on government to refuse registration of new ones.
