Op 22 juni is het onderzoeksrapport "De toekomst van de keten voor interlandelijke adoptie" van adviesbureau Andersson Elffers Felix (AEF), uitgevoerd in opdracht van het ministerie van Veiligheid en Justitie, aangeboden aan de Tweede Kamer. Defence for Children – ECPAT vindt het opvallend dat uit onderzoek blijkt dat er geen eenduidig beeld is over wat het subsidiariteitsbeginsel inhoudt. Dit is het meest fundamentele principe als het gaat om interlandelijke adoptie.

Leader in International Adoption Seeks to Fill Director of Adult Adoptee Community Outreach Role

Holt International Children's Services Invites Qualified Candidates to Apply for the Newly Appointed Role to Lead, Launch and Grow Its Adult Adoptee Community and Supporting Initiatives

Eugene, Oregon, July 16, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Holt International Children's Services, the nation's leading international adoption placement agency and not-for-profit child welfare organization, announced its intention to hire its first director of adult adoptee community outreach, beginning with a nationwide search starting today. Holt International first pioneered international adoption in 1956 and today remains the global leader with a long-standing commitment to holistically support adoptees for life – because adoption is a lifelong journey.

The director of adult adoptee community outreach will oversee the planning and implementation of outreach strategies to better understand and support the diversity and voices of within the adult adoptee community. This person will launch, grow and manage a thriving and interconnected community of adult adoptees spanning multiple locations, different lived experiences and many generations. The director will be responsible for building trusted networks and relationships, and informing how Holt can best support, magnify and celebrate a healthy and diverse adult adoptee community.

“The needs of adoptees evolve as they grow older and mature. We have a responsibility to understand this evolution in order to take appropriate action to serve and support them,” said Steve Kalb, LMSW, Holt International’s director of post-adoption services, and a Korean adoptee. “This new hire will allow us opportunities to connect with and support adult adoptees across the country. By engaging with established communities and elevating the voices of those who feel isolated, we can walk beside adoptees as they teach us the best ways to address their changing needs.”

Studies suggest that adoptees benefit from support services into adulthood. The director of adult adoptee community outreach will provide support and opportunities for adult adoptees by directing and managing heritage tours and regional activities and events, offering additional resources for mental and physical well-being support, and giving adult adoptees the opportunity to share their own experiences with younger adoptees. This person will also facilitate the organization’s adult adoptee advisory board, which will provide insight, feedback and recommendations from adult adoptees on how the organization can elevate its adoption services for children and their families.

Meet Ben, The First Child Adopted By A Same-Sex Couple In Malta

Yesterday, after news broke that Malta’s court had given the go-ahead for the first adoption of a child by a same-sex couple, Malta’s Facebook exploded.

Many praised the move as a huge leap forward for Malta, while others rambled on about the doom and gloom this would bring about; flinging around the classic arguments the anti-adoption camp always do (something about it being “unnatural” and “not in the child’s best interest”).

But you know who doesn’t seem to care about all these online, all-caps arguments? Ben.

Meet Ben, the first child to be adopted by a same-sex couple in Malta. His father, Kris Grima, posted a touching introduction on Facebook, where he thanked everyone for the work they did leading to this beautiful moment, while subtly slamming the nay-sayers judging his family without even knowing anything about them.

You’ll be hard pressed to find a happier looking baby or one who rocks a white bucket-hat as well as Ben. So congrats to this new family, and in the words of Kris himself, may many more follow!

Swiss couple told to give back adopted daughter

A Swiss couple living in Nicaragua have been told to give back the baby daughter they adopted nine months ago.

Daniel and Esther Schär, who work for an NGO in the Central American country, adopted a two-month old girl through the adoption service of the Nicaraguan Ministry of Families (Mifamilia) last year, reported the Nicaraguan press.

Nine months later, the child’s biological mother – a minor – demanded her daughter be returned to her, claiming she was put up for adoption without her consent.

Last week a court ruled in her favour, to the heartbreak of the Swiss couple.

“We don’t understand how they can do such a nasty thing as take away the baby... if the biological mother abandoned her why does she now want her back when she didn’t seek her out for nine months?” adoptive mother Esther Schär told El Nuevo Diario.

Tamil Nadu's stolen children: Madras HC orders compensation, special police unit

CHENNAI: Extremely anguished by the high rate of child thefts and the number of children still remaining to be traced in Tamil Nadu, Madras high court has made some radical suggestions to address the social problem.

Form a special child-missing squad with officers trained in such cases, a division bench of Justice S Nagamuthu and Justice V Bharathidasan told Tamil Nadu government on Monday.

Passing further orders on a PIL filed by Exnora highlighting the blatant theft of two children who were sleeping on Chennai platforms with their parents, the judges said they do not want to refer the cases either to cbcid or central/district crime branch, since they are already overburdened. They have to handle frauds, murders, law and order, besides other responsibilities, judges said, adding that only a special unit could do justice to child thefts and child lifts. "We are anxious. We don't know whether they are stolen for sale or for their organs," the bench remarked.
