Rebesani, whom Mogherini met at a European congress in Strasbourg, left his job in Rome with Save the Children Italy because he believed it posed a conflict of interest. “He’s a very present father,” she says, and they share the parenting as equally as possible. “There have been times when he was working twelve hours a day, and I was working less; times when I am working twelve hours a day, and him less.” I suggest that Italian men are not known for such egalitarianism. “Not at all,” Mogherini says with a laugh. “People tell me I’m lucky, but you choose the people you’re with. Building a relationship based on equal responsibility—it’s also up to the woman.”

CONGO, THE 31 ADOPTED CHILDREN ARRIVING IN ITALY. MOGHERINI: "HAPPY CONCLUSION OF THE CASE"

"The case seems to have come to a successful conclusion thanks to all the people who have worked with tireless dedication." The Minister of Foreign Affairs Federica Mogherini comments on the last developments in the case of 31 children adopted in Democratic Republic of Congo, But now Italian citizens stranded in Kinshasafor bureaucratic reasons. Already on Monday, Prime Minister Matteo Renzi announced on Twitter to have "just given the green light: a plane part of the Italian Republic for Congo to return adopted children stuck for months# Acasa". On arrival times at the moment there is still no certainty. "When will I know," said Mogherini.

An agreement between the prime minister Matteo Renzi and the Congolese president Joseph Kabilahas helped to unlock a situation that holds the rope for many months 24 families, And within the children can be reunited with their adoptive parents. According to the president of the Commission for International Adoptions (Cai) Silvia Della Monica, The expected arrival Italy of 31 children is a matter of a few days: "We will do as quickly as possible," he assured. Della Monica - magistrate only two months at the head of Cai - Sent a letter to the families and agencies involved, recommending "to act with prudence and discretion, not to take individual initiatives" to link up with the same Cai and follow the instructions of the latter. In particular, believes "most necessary to reiterate how inappropriate and risky at this sensitive time, the departure of adoptive families for the Congo."

If anything, therefore, waiting for the story ends. A story that goes on for months, with 24 couples who despite having completed the adoption process have not yet been able to bring home their children due to the lack of clearance by the Congolese authorities. Last September Kinshasa had decided to suspend for one year the authorization for the release of all international adoptions, on suspicion of irregular procedures that, however, as they had at the time reported the same Congolese authorities did not concern Italy. In early November, the then Minister Kyenge Cécile, who had held the mandate for international adoptions, had carried out a mission in Democratic Republic of Congo getting insurance on a successful conclusion of the adoption by the Italian couples. Some families had left for the CongoBut were stuck in Country African without being able to bring home their children.

Congo clears the way for 72 adoptions after 2-year wait

By the Associated Press | November 2, 2015 | 10:35 AM EST

KINSHASA, Congo (AP) — Congo's government cleared the way Monday for dozens of children to join their adoptive families abroad after more than two years of waiting, though a further 1,000 others will have to remain in orphanages for now.

Fourteen of the children are now headed to the United States, while other boys and girls are going to start new lives in Italy, Belgium, Canada, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Switzerland.

Authorities in Congo put a halt to international adoptions in 2013, saying their adoption system was beset by corruption and falsified documents. The children's adoptions had been legally approved by the Congolese courts before the government suspended the issuing of exit permits, causing heartache and frustration for families around the world.

Il decreto di nomina è arrivato alla segreteria del consiglio dei ministri già a metà della scorsa settimana, con la firma del ministro dell’Integrazione, Cecyle Kyenge. Dopo settimane di polemiche e nel pieno dello scandalo sulle adozioni in Congo era finalmente arrivata la proposta di nomina del nuovo vicepresidente operativo della Commissione adozioni internazionali. Il presidente della commissione è il ministro in carica (la Kyenge), che ha poteri di indirizzo politico ma non ha poteri operativi, né diritto di firma, che spetta al vicepresidente. Chi sedeva su quella poltrona, Daniela Bacchetta (un magistrato, qualifica di solito richiesta per l’incarico) dopo sei anni e un rinnovo, aveva terminato nel cuore della scorsa estate. Era stata prorogata per 45 giorni, lasciando inevitabilmente l’incarico vacante nella prima settimana di novembre, quando proprio stava per diventare pubblico il caso Congo. Per la sostituzione la Kyenge aveva preparato il decreto di nomina di Silvia Della Monica, anche lei magistrato (fu il capo del Pool che fece le indagini sul mostro di Firenze), ma con un recente passaggio anche nella politica, visto che la scorsa legislatura era stata eletta in Senato nelle fila del Pd.
