Gujarat snooping case: SC to hear suspended IAS officer Sharma's plea in Dec

Pune-based adoption agency Preet Mandir has decided to close its child care and adoption activities and has written to the Women and Child Welfare Department to transfer the children from its Kalyani Nagar home — the only office functional after its Pune Camp office was closed down — to other adoption homes. The agency has 25 children, including 15 special kids. A letter in this regard was sent to the department on November 7.

After three requests for renewal of licence and recognition certificate and several follow-ups did not yield results, Preet Mandir decided to shut operations. "Under the present circumstances, with profound regret we are constrained to stop our child care and adoption activities and earnestly request you to transfer the children as deemed appropriate by November 30,'' states the letter written by Preet Mandir managing trustee D P Bhatia.

Most Indian kids up for overseas adoption find homes in US

While the law allows one out of five babies to be given up for adoption abroad, ministry records show that only one in 15 on an average are sent overseas.

MUMBAI: Indian children put up for adoption overseas in the past three years have mostly landed up in the United States, followed by Italy and Spain, shows data from the ministry of women and child development. India handed over 308 babies to couples abroad last year, according to statistics presented by the ministry before the Lok Sabha in August.

Adoption row: Dalits protest against injustice in Mysore

Nov 16, 2013

Mysore: Guardians of eight year old Ullas and seven year old Anand, who are all set to be given up for adoption to an Italian couple without their consent, protested in front of the Gandhi statue near the court here on Friday joined by hundreds of Dalit activists and several relatives.

Asked why they were against the children being adopted, when they seemed willing to go, their uncle Nataraj said, “We may be poor, but we are not heartless enough to let go of our sister’s children altogether. Adoption would end our relationship with them and we don’t want that to happen. The children themselves are too small to judge the situation.”

Claiming they had met a child placed in the custody of the Child Welfare Committee, Mysore, who was adopted by a couple in Mandya, but did not like staying with them, he said, “Luckily the girl was in Mandya and so could come back. We are seeing so much of injustice taking place right before our eyes. Why should we then send our children to Italy?"

Co-star Steve Coogan pledges to do what he can to help campaigners in Ireland as film reignites controversy

Philomena is a small film that is defying box-office conventions; the audience keeps on growing while other, bigger titles fade. The emotional story starring Steve Coogan and Dame Judi Dench of the brutal separation of an Irish mother and her child has become a word-of-mouth hit, beating even action blockbuster Thor: The Dark World at the UK box office one day last week.

Directorul SERA ROMÂNIA, Bogdan Simion, la Congresul IDC: "Institu?ia nu func?ioneaz? ca o familie, nici ca un centru resurs?"

Congresul IDC 2013, la Palatul Parlamentului

Institutul pentru Dezvoltarea Copilului, în parteneriat cu Ministerul Muncii, Familiei, Protec?iei Sociale ?i Persoanelor Vârstnice, Funda?ia SERA ROMÂNIA ?i Federa?ia Organiza?iilor Neguvernamentale pentru Copil au organizat miercuri, 13 noiembrie 2013, conferin?a cu tema ”Efectele institu?ionaliz?rii asupra dezvolt?rii copilului. Observa?ie, diagnostic, prevenire a consecin?elor de lung? durat?”, în cadrul c?reia au fost prezentate concluziile par?iale ale unei cercetari care a vizat studiul comparativ al dezvoltarii unor copii institu?ionaliza?i si copii din comunitate. Studiul Bucharest Early Intervention Project (BEIP) a fost demarat în anul 2000 de trei profesori americani: Nathan Fox, de la University of Maryland, Charles Nelson, de la Harvard University ?i Charles Zeanah, de la Tulane University.

Primul studiu de acest tip, care a vizat în total 208 copii, a identificat probleme psihiatrice serioase ?i mai multe disfunc?ionalit??i în dezvoltarea lor cognitiv?, fiind afectate discern?mântul, controlul impulsurilor ?i p?strarea amintirilor.

De asemenea, cei trei profesori americani au mai constatat c?, în cazul copiilor institu?ionaliza?i la scurt timp dup? na?tere, se produc modific?ri organice ireversibile, dar ?i c? interven?ia timpurie, în sensul întreruperii institu?ionaliz?rii, poate aduce progrese importante în dezvoltarea copilului.
