Russian FM says US adoptions should be frozen

Russian FM says US adoptions should be frozen

By JIM HEINTZ (AP) – 2 hours ago

MOSCOW — American adoptions of Russian children must be suspended until the two countries reach a final agreement on adoption procedures, Russia's foreign minister said Wednesday.

Adoptions have become a highly emotional issue since an American adoptive mother sent her 7-year-old boy back to Russia unaccompanied in April, saying she was giving him up because of his emotional problems.

American and Russian officials have reached broad agreement on an adoption pact, and the Russian parliament this month rejected a motion to halt American adoptions.

Eine Hamburger Adoptionsvermittlung steht im Verdacht, widerrechtlich Kinder aus Russland nach Deutschland vermittelt zu haben. Nach vierjähriger Ermittlung hat die Staatsanwaltschaft Hamburg nach Informationen von NDR 90,3 und NDR Info jetzt Anklage gegen drei Hauptverantwortliche des Vereins International Child's Care Organisation (ICCO) wegen gewerbsmäßigen Kinderhandels erhoben.

In dem Fall geht es um kleine Kinder aus Russland, die zwischen 2003 und 2006 von Paaren in Deutschland adoptiert wurden. "Die Staatsanwaltschaft hat Anklage erhoben wegen 30 Fällen von verbotener Kindervermittlung. Hierbei handelt es sich überwiegend um Mädchen und Jungen, die heute schätzungsweise zwischen fünf und zehn Jahre alt sind. Diese Kinder stammen nach unseren Erhebungen entweder aus sozial schwierigen Verhältnissen oder waren Waisenkinder", sagte der Sprecher der Hamburger Staatsanwaltschaft, Wilhelm Möllers. Die Kinder waren Möllers zufolge zwar zur Adoption freigegeben, dem Verein habe jedoch die notwendige Erlaubnis der russischen Behörden gefehlt. "Zum einen hatte der Verein keine Lizenz, in Russland selbst tätig zu werden, und zum anderen war es dem Verein nach unseren Erkenntnissen und nach unserer Beurteilung verboten, über die Zwischenschaltung einer dritten Person, hier eines amerikanischen Unternehmens, Adoptionen durchzuführen."

Outcry over archbishop's abortion comments

Outcry over archbishop's abortion comments

MONTREAL — Cardinal Marc Ouellet, archbishop of Quebec, has provoked a firestorm of criticism from politicians and feminists by strongly condemning abortion, even when pregnancy is the result of rape.

Pauline Marois, leader of the Parti Quebecois, said she was "completely outraged" by Ouellet's remarks, and accused him of trying to reverse the results of battles waged for 40 years, Radio-Canada reported.

Ouellet has faced harsh criticism since remarks he made Saturday before an anti-abortion conference in Quebec.

Wariness and uncertainty as Haiti adoptions resume

By DAVID CRARY - AP National Writer

Officially, Haiti's international adoption process is back in business.

Yet U.S. adoption agencies remain wary and uncertain, while families may face years of limbo as they seek to adopt children orphaned by the January earthquake. Some had been to Haiti and met children before the quake, others eagerly started from scratch afterward.

Mary Bonn Sentenced

October 10, 2007

Mary Bonn Sentenced

After eight months since her arrest and the various firestorms that have followed it, the Mary Bonn saga comes to an end. In a long sentencing hearing that went on for hours, she was sentenced to 366 days in prison, followed by two years of supervised release, and fines and restitution of $10,000. The court was filled with Mary's supporters, families who had happlily adopted through her. And the adoptive father in the case she was charged for appeared before the judge as well. We'll get more info on what happened, the judges comments, etc. soon.

While this may be the end of the saga for Mary, she will have a legacy full of disparate thoughts. She helped create hundreds of families successfully. There are many who sing her praises based on their experience working with her. There are also many who have broken hearts from their experience, some still struggling today to get out of the mess of adoptions started throgh Mary. There are those, like the family in this case, whose description to their kids of how they came to join their family is not as simple as the one I'll tell mine.

Geld darf nicht im Vordergrund stehen

Pflegeeltern - wer, wie, was

Geld darf nicht im Vordergrund stehen

Wer kann ein Pflegekind bei sich aufnehmen?

Pflegeeltern müssen körperlich und seelisch belastbar sein, das Alter der Pflegeeltern und das des Kindes sollte dem natürlichen Altersabstand zwischen Eltern und Kindern entsprechen. Wer ein Pflegekind aufnimmt, muss über ausreichend Wohnraum verfügen und materiell so abgesichert sein, dass er nicht auf das Pflegegeld zur Absicherung des eigenen Lebensunterhaltes angewiesen ist. Wer sich in der Bereitschaftspflege engagieren will, braucht viel Erfahrung in Erziehungsfragen. Eine pädagogische Ausbildung kann von Vorteil sein.
