Alert: Peru Temporarily Suspends Adoptions

September 20, 2016

The Peruvian government announced a suspension of all adoptions (domestic and international) pending an internal review of adoption procedures and cases over the past five years.

Peruvian officials said this review stems, at least in part, from concerns related to post-adoption reporting compliance. We are working with the Peruvian Central Authority to seek more information on the terms of the suspension and to address concerns involving adoptions to the United States.

Please continue to monitor adoption.state.gov for updated information on intercountry adoption in Peru.

Na eerdere problemen met adoptiedossiers in Oeganda, duiken er nu ook problemen op met interlandelijke adopties met Ethiopië. Door een herstructurering bij de betrokken administratie in Ethiopië zitten tientallen lopende dossiers uit Vlaanderen geblokkeerd.

Het Vlaams Centrum voor Adoptie (VCA) probeert de zaak te deblokkeren, maar kan aan de betrokken kandidaat-adoptieouders voorlopig "geen enkel perspectief bieden qua timing". Zo blijkt uit een brief die Belga kon inkijken. Het nieuws is ook bevestigd bij Kind & Gezin. "Voor de betrokkenen is de situatie onmenselijk", zegt Vlaams parlementslid Lorin Parys (N-VA).

Ongetwijfeld zal dit bij veel adoptiefouders en vooral bij de nog wachtende aspirant adoptiefouders emoties veroorzaken.

"Mother Teresa saved me from the bin"

Mother Teresa saved his life. Born in a slum of Mumbai in India, Emmanuel Leclercq later grew up with adoptive parents in France. In an interview with katholisch.de he talks about his life story and tells why he wants to become a priest today.

Question: When you were a baby, Mother Teresa rescued you in a slum in Bombay, now Mumbai, India. What does their canonization mean to you?

Emmanuel Leclercq: I thank God for that. Because in this war-torn world, the Church gives us a figure of peace. Mother Teresa is truly an example of the peace and love of man she has shown to everyone. She is a model of charity and above all of mercy. She is the figure of God's mercy. She helped people and gave them back their human dignity. She personally gave back my dignity: ten days after my birth, she pulled me out of a trash can and took me to the orphanage of the sisters.

Question: When did you hear about this story?

Two-week deadline to clear pending adoption cases

OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT

New Delhi, Sept. 6: Maneka Gandhi has asked states to ensure that cases of orphaned or abandoned children pending with child welfare committees are cleared for adoption within a fortnight.

Sources said there were as many as 10,000 prospective adoptive parents (PAPs) awaiting a call from the women and child development ministry but only 1,500 children with the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA) legally free for adoption.

"The problem is that while there are huge numbers of PAPs waiting to adopt, CARA has only 1,500 children in its pool for adoption. We have realised that many cases of orphaned and abandoned children are pending with child welfare committees (CWCs), which are delaying certifying them legally free for adoption," said a source in the women and child development ministry.

Affaires consulaires: Reynders appelle les politiques à la retenue dans les cas délicats

Accueil Toute l'actualité en direct Régions - samedi 3 septembre 2016 19h30 - Belga

Le ministre des Affaires étrangères, Didier Reynders, a appelé samedi les responsables politiques à tout niveau à faire preuve de retenue dans certaines affaires consulaires délicates, comme des adoptions d'enfants, pour ne faire échouer au dernier moment des médiations menées en coulisses.

"Que les politiques fassent preuve de discrétion" et attendent "que le dossier soit finalement réglé" avant de s'exprimer, a-t-il déclaré à quelques journalistes dans l'avion qui le ramenait d'une réunion européenne à Bratislava en faisant référence à quelques cas récents, comme l'arrestation d'une étudiante belge d'origine turque Bilen Ceyran à Balikesir (nord-ouest de la Turquie) qui a été libérée jeudi après six jours de détention.

M. Reynders (MR) a insisté sur "la volonté d'aider" les ressortissants belges à l'étranger qui existe aux Affaires étrangères, via leur réseau consulaire.

Adoption body plans immediate placement of selected children

Press Trust of India | New Delhi Sep 01, 2016 03:48 PM IST

If you want to adopt a child but are wary of the protracted process, there is some good news for you as the national adoption body plans to facilitate "immediate placement" of selected children, so parents can take home a child in three months.

The children available for quicker adoption will include older children (more than 5-6 years of age), those with minor medical ailments but who do not fall under "special needs" category and children who have been referred several times to prospective parents through Child Adoption Resource Information and Guidance System or CARINGS but have not found a family.
