Mysore: In a new twist to the case of the two orphans transferred to an institution in Bengaluru for adoption by the Child Welfare Committee (CWC) of Mysore without the consent of their guardians, it appears they are now all set to be given up for adoption to a working couple in Italy.

“It is difficult to find couples in India who want to adopt children over five , so we are giving them to an Italian couple who have agreed to adopt them,” said sources in the Vatsalya Charitable Trust, which has applied to the Bengaluru city civil court in Mayo hall for permission to go ahead with the adoption.

Press Release by MEP Ádám Kósa - High-level international conference on protecting the rights of abandoned children

MEP Ádám Kósa (Fidesz) hosted a conference today in the European Parliament on the tragedies and depressing human rights issues of children living in overcrowded institutions. The conference took place just two weeks before the new Structural Fund Regulations will be tabled in the European Parliament, whose proposals – among others – aim to replace these obsolete institutions by community based services. As was revealed on the debate, only a minor part of children living in such facilities are actually orphans.

België stopt met Marokkaanse adoptie

Belgium stops Moroccan adoption

For the time being, Flanders is completely refraining from adopting adopted children from Morocco.

The reason for this is the lack of clarity about the legal aspects of children from Morocco. According to De Standaard there is a lot of uncertainty about the recognition of adopted children once they are in Belgium. The first adoption request from Flemish parents went completely wrong in Ghent. Approximately eighty children from Morocco have been adopted in Brussels and Wallonia, but parents still have to do a lot of work to get recognition.

The Flemish parents did everything according to the adoption procedures, which meant that the ties with the biological parents should not be broken. However, the public prosecutor decided to appeal, after which the adoption was rejected. In Morocco there is only the 'kafala', a foster guardianship system and not the adoption schemes that we know in the Netherlands and Belgium.

However, there is something to be said for refusing the adoption. The name of the biological father is on the birth certificate of the child and it is precisely that the father did not give permission for the adoption. The 4-year-old boy has been living in Belgium with his foster parents for two years now. Adoption officer Ariana van Den Berghe has indicated that no Moroccan children may be adopted for the time being.

Gianni Pittella (Pd): Yes to gay adoptions

Aa Aa Aa Home » Politics » Video »Gianni Pittella (Pd): Yes to gay adoptions Filed with: Rights Europe Gay Gianni Pittella Parliament Democratic Party PD Gianni Pittella (Pd): Yes to gay adoptions POWER - Some people may call it sensationalism to get a grip on the media. But once again the statements of Gianni Pittella, head towards the national secretary of the Democratic Party, are set to make their mark, especially because directed to redesign the policy framework and program of the Democratic Party. It had happened in the past months, when our own microphones had defined equidistant compared to the liberal embodied by Matteo Renzi and the maximalist then embodied by Fabrizio Barca. But yesterday in Potenza, in the course of the tour that is accompanying his campaign to the Congress in December, went straight to the heart, touching forcefully the so-called civil rights, who always important impact on daily life but that all are careful from addressing. I advocate, said the gay marriages and adoptions. And the party, he said, should not depend on the Vatican. We are a secular state, he said, and we can not be less sensitive to the Pope. Then the political thrust. The Democratic Party, said the Vice President of the European Parliament, should not only discuss but must do so on key issues, such as social, which was conspicuous by hypocrisy. In short, to a faded and worn down by the current party, Pittella aimed a heavy appeal: recover their identity and not only on ethical issues but also on the economy, Europe and the social. On the political issue, linked to the decline of Berlusconi senator and the controversy that arose around the voting rules, the Democratic Party, he added, has acted in compliance with the Constitution. Would be serious, it concluded, the Government download the story, making it weigh on citizens.

Gianni Pittella (Pd): Sì alle adozioni gay POTENZA – C’è chi potrà definirlo sensazionalismo per fare presa sui media. Ma ancora una volta le dichiarazioni di Gianni Pittella, in corsa verso la segreteria nazionale del Partito Democratico, sono destinate a lasciare il segno, soprattutto perché indirizzate a ridisegnare l’impalcatura politica e programmatica del Pd. Era già successo nei mesi scorsi, quando proprio ai nostri microfoni si era definito equidistante rispetto all’area liberal incarnata da Matteo Renzi e a quella massimalista, allora incarnata da Fabrizio Barca. Ma ieri a Potenza, nel corso del tour che sta accompagnando la sua campagna verso il congresso di dicembre, è andato diritto al cuore, toccando con forza i cosiddetti diritti civili, che hanno sempre e comunque importanti ricadute sulla quotidianità ma che tutti si guardano bene dall’affrontare. Sono favorevole, ha detto alle unioni dei gay e alle adozioni. E il partito, ha dichiarato, non deve dipendere dal Vaticano. Siamo in uno stato laico, ha detto, e non possiamo essere meno sensibili del Papa. Poi l’affondo politico. Il Pd, ha sottolineato il Vice Presidente del Parlamento Europeo, non deve discutere solamente ma deve farlo su questioni fondamentali, come quelle sociali, su cui ha brillato per ipocrisia. Insomma ad un partito sbiadito e logorato dalle correnti, Pittella rivolge un pesante appello: recuperare la propria identità e non solo sui temi etici ma anche su quelli dell’economia, dell’Europa e del sociale. Sulla questione politica, legata alla decadenza di Berlusconi da senatore e sulle polemiche sorte intorno alle modalità di voto, il Pd, ha aggiunto, ha agito nel rispetto della Costituzione. Sarebbe grave, ha concluso, scaricare sul Governo la vicenda, facendola pesare sui cittadini.

Chinese village ‘in lockdown’ as parents sue government over lost child

Chinese village ‘in lockdown’ as parents sue government over lost child

BY TOM PHILLIPS, THE DAILY TELEGRAPH OCTOBER 31, 2013

A rural village in northern China has reportedly been placed under “curfew” after a disabled couple accused the local government of masterminding the abduction of their 11-day-old baby.

Authorities imposed the lockdown as Liu Laogen, 64, and his 50-year-old wife, Xia Fengge, spoke for the first time about their daughter being snatched from them by officials they say were working for the family planning bureau almost 20 years ago. The case is the latest to underline the human cost of China’s one-child policy and the appalling abuses that it has spawned, including forced abortions and child abductions.

The baby was Xia’s third and relations believe family planning officials decided to take the girl in order to discourage other locals from breaking China’s one-child policy.
