USAID helps child adoption reform in Vietnam

The United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has granted US$300,000 to UNICEF in Vietnam to support the programme “strengthening legislation and monitoring systems for child adoption” in the nation from now until 2013.

The USAID grant will contribute to the improvement of the current legal and regulatory framework to ensure its compliance with international standards to better protect children without parental care through the development and implementation of national legislation and policies on domestic and inter-country adoption, and the ratification of the Hague Convention.

In addition, the grant will support setting up a national monitoring system for child adoption and building the capacity of policy makers, welfare and enforcement personnel to better protect children.

Adoption law must improve to protect children Vietnam’s laws on child adoption have been improved and brought closer in line with international standards, especially in the case of foreign adopting parents, but further improvement is needed. The information was heard at a conference in Hanoi on April 4. The discussion was co-organised by the Ministry of Justice and the United Nations Children’s Fund to review three years of implementing the Law on Adoption and two years of executing The Hague Convention of Child Protection and International Cooperation in Child Protection. Participants pointed out several difficulties in adopting children at home and abroad, such as defining suitable parents, profiling orphans and conducting the necessary procedures for adoption. They agreed that the Vietnamese Government should continue perfecting its regulations on adoption, and strengthen coordination between ministries and sectors in order to effectively implement the Law on Adoption and The Hague Convention. They also stressed the need to publicise guidance on the law to raise the public’s awareness, and invest in technology application to serve the State management in child adoption.

She's happy her daughter Zahara has a better life in America with Angelina Jolie, but in her first-ever interview the child's mother raises disturbing questions about how she was adopted...

Her credentials as a caring superstar could hardly be bettered. Angelina Jolie, mother of four, is as famous for her well-publicised adoptions of children from Third World countries as she is for her Oscar-winning movies and marriage to Brad Pitt.

Botswana gov’t embroiled in child adoption row

Posted by: APA Posted date : September 3, 2014 at 8:50 am UTC 65 views In: Politics

The Botswana Network on the Ethics, Law and HIV/AIDS (BONELA) said Wednesday it is taking the Botswana government to court over the adoption of a six-year-old child by a South African woman, Deborah Kirstern Mey.Briefing the media, a BONELA spokesperson accused the Botswana government of abating child trafficking and questioned the circumstances under which the child was adopted and taken out of the country on August 29.

The biological parents, Joshua July of Tsamaya and Annah Kopo, alleged that the child was removed from their care by members of the police service and some social welfare officers under direct instructions of a senior government official.

The parents are not happy because the adoptive mother and the child have now relocated to Qatar in the United Arab Emirates.
