U.S. Ambassador to Romania Advocates Resumption of International Adoption From Romania.

June 30, 2010. U.S. Ambassador to Romania Advocates Resumption of International Adoption From Romania. Ambassador Mark Gitenstein told AFP news in Romania that he "would like to see a change in the Romanian law on adoptions, so that children can be adopted more easily and quickly, whether adopted by Romanians or foreigners. Because I believe that it is not a healthy thing that these children are not among their families as soon as possible. My wife is working as a volunteer here at a center in a hospital where they stay during their first year of life. And that is when they should be adopted, as soon as possible. Because the longer they stay in institutions, the greater will be the impact on their emotional and intellectual development." We completely endorse his words. More Information.
