Onze contactpersoon in Sri Lanka

Alle adoptieaanvragen worden ingediend bij de Probation (Kinderbescherming), de centrale autoriteit in Colombo. Kinderen die voor adoptie in aanmerking komen moeten eerst aan minimaal 3 Sri Lankaanse gezinnen zijn voorgesteld voordat ze voor een buitenlandse adoptie in aanmerking komen.

Stichting FLASH heeft in Sri Lanka een contactpersoon die de kindertehuizen langsgaat om te kijken of er adoptabele kinderen zijn en probeert te bespoedigen dat de documenten via de provinciale Kinderbeschermingen worden doorgestuurd naar de Probation in Colombo.

Officieel doet de Probation de matching, maar in veel gevallen wordt het kind voorgesteld aan de organisatie waarvoor de contactpersoon werkt. Onze contactpersoon is Gamini Wijewardena, die ook de aspirant-adoptiefouders begeleidt tijdens de adoptieprocedure in Sri Lanka.

SPENCE-CHAPIN BEGAN WORKING IN COLOMBIA IN 1994, when we were approved by ICBF (Instituto Colombiano de Bienestar Familiar), the Family Welfare Institute that oversees adoption in Colombia. We are pleased to offer several options for families wanting to adopt from Colombia. First, Spence-Chapin works directly with ICBF for the placement of children in governmental care. In addition, our agency works with Los Chiquitines, a small private orphanage, to find homes for children. Spence-Chapin also participates in the Kidsave Summer Miracles program through which prospective families can host a child 7-14 years old for a summer experience and either pursue adoption or advocate with families in their community to identify an adoptive family for the child. Colombia is located in northwestern South America and is defined by lush rainforests, urban areas, sprawling plains and mountainous regions. It is one of the largest and most populous countries in South America, making it both ethnically and culturally diverse.

Families Outside of the NY/NY Metro Area

The Families for Orphans Coalition is a group of nonprofit organizations, adoptive parents and individuals associated with Coalition member organizations working to attract attention and resources to the plight of millions of orphans growing up without permanent families worldwide. By combining forces we hope to have legislation introduced and passed called The Families for Orphans Act. This Act provides for a diplomatic authority and technical and coordinating capacity within the United States Department of State to help countries worldwide develop policies and capacity to keep children in their birth families whenever possible and move orphans and other children without parental care into permanent families.

The Families for Orphans Coalition has united many organizations with experience working in countries to help orphans. Several members grew out of a working group which convened in August 2007 to collaborate on strategies for providing a holistic model for family preservation and permanent family care. As this practice-focused group focused on the task at hand it was clear that for any efforts to be successful, U.S. foreign policy needed to support the efforts. It had become apparent to many that the United States Agency for International Development did not have permanent family care as a priority, nor was it likely to become a priority. Serendipitously, at the same time several other orphan advocates had become vocal on Capitol Hill about the same challenges within the AID community and issues that needed to change for greater support of permanent family-based care for orphans. Seeking clarity, Members of Congress contacted The Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute, who convened a meeting of the involved organizations to explore collaboration. The organizations agreed to work together and collaboratively drafted the Families for Orphans Act of 2009.

The Christian Perspective on Adoption

A Spirit of Fear

My position and purpose as the co-founder of America World Adoption are actually the result of my wife, Renée's, courageous actions years ago. Unlike the majority of couples that pursue their adoption plans together, my wife researched adoption alone—I was afraid to join her.

EU and Ethiopia Cooperation history

The European Union-Ethiopia development partnership formally started when Ethiopia signed the Lomé Convention in 1975. The EU opened its Delegation in Ethiopia in 1975 and has taken the lead in supporting Ethiopia's economic development both financially and technically. The European Union’s mission in Ethiopia is to eradicate poverty through sustainable development, democracy, peace and security. Since the cooperation started, the EU has allocated a total of 2.7 billion Euros for Ethiopia, excluding emergency aid.

The European Union provides funding to support Ethiopia through the European Development Funds (EDF). The latest allocation (10th EDF) of these funds provides some 644 million Euros for the country in areas such as transport, rural development, trade, gender, and environmental conservation.

The European Development Funds have been supplemented by support from European Commission budget lines. The most significant of these has been the food aid and food security budget line and in lines of credit from the European Investment Bank (EIB).

The latter provides loans to the private sector directly for commercially viable projects. Such loans to Ethiopia supported projects in the fields of telecommunications, aviation and energy. In addition, a global loan was provided to the Development Bank of Ethiopia (DBE) for onward lending to small and medium sized enterprises.
