On the adoption of 70 children waiting for 622 families

For the adoption of a child in Serbia waiting for 622 families and about 70 children in the selection of adoptive parents. Two years ago, 132 youngest found a warm home, and last year he only cared for 106 children. New family usually find children up to two years, fair-skinned and without major health problems, and the potential adoptive parents generally avoid prime in the wing of boys and girls from Roma families, or with disabilities.

Since adopters expect, explains Dragan Vulevi?, head of the administrative control of the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection in the field of family protection, the child to be healthy, Serbian nationality, and as young as possible.

- No one, not even the celebrities, there is no privilege in the approval process. The child can usvojesupružnici or common-law partners together, and priority is given to complete the family. Only in exceptional circumstances when it is deemed in the best interest of every child, the minister responsible for family protection may give an individual permit for adoption of a child. The number of those who have themselves adopted child is very small, and the procedure is the same - he added Vulevi?.

couples and individuals in the country to adopt requirements to the local center for social work. In accordance with the Family Law, as adoptive parents are required to go through a preparation program.

- The aim is to gain knowledge about the child learn skills and treatment, in order to better respond to their needs. Program preparation contains six sections: what to know about adopting a child, the motives and how the decision was stable, characteristics, development and needs of the child, his history, identity and other issues related to the adoption - said Vulevi?.

Experts in whose institution cared for the children, explains the head of the administrative and supervisory duties in the Ministry of Labour and Social Policy, are obliged to prospective adoptive parents communicate information about their biological parents. New mom and dad have a right to know everything about the origins of children who receive them in their home. They have an obligation to discover that a child has been adopted, and who his real parents.

- Experts Centres for Social Work recorded the cases in which adopted children wanted to make contact with their biological parents who are asking themselves whether they want to see the child. For such a vision should be prepared - he added Vulevi?.

The psychologist has a duty to assess the personality of future adopters, their motivation and suitability to adopt.

Marija Milic, psychologist departments for analytical and research work of the City Centre for Social Work, says that prospective adoptive parents have strong processes in itself with its own parenthood and the desire to achieve in this role.

- When you come to the Centre for Social Work, in most cases they are mostly mastered the normal stages of marital crisis of infertility. It is unrealistic to expect to have a highly developed solely altruistic motive. Some of them want to get the adoption of the values ??in their communities, and the vision of ourselves, others will bring meaning to life, and there are those who expect to be that way for some of them will be able to take care in old age. By themselves, these motives do not have to have a bad influence on the quality of parenting. There is no ideal profile that needs to fit in a potential adoptive parent, or a healthy relationship and mature decisions are expected of them - said Milic.

As neither of the mothers and fathers are not expected to be superroditelji, so the potential adoptive parents, she said, do not expect unreachable, the spectacular quality. Not adopted boys and girls have different needs than their peers from their biological families.

- The child should be told that they were adopted when asked about his origin in a manner appropriate to the age and ability to understand the answer. There is no recipe for truth telling, but a relationship of love, security and acceptance between the adoptive parents and the child to adoptive parents to provide an answer, a child to accept it. Usually it happens in the period starting in kindergarten - said Milic.

Foreign citizens are much more tolerant to black children and youngsters with special needs. Experts say that they do not hide from the child that is adopted and previously lived in a home for abandoned children.

The Serbian practice it often happens that the child of family status has not been resolved, and therefore the adoption process can not be started.

Biljana Pavlovic, Head of the Analytical Research Center for Social Work of Belgrade, points out that it does not happen often enough to be a mother for any reason give up the child, even when he is not able to take care of him.

- And in a situation where it is quite clear that the parents will not worry about the child permanently, the center for social work is obliged to examine the possibility of adoption before the child to be cared for within the extended family.

Another reason lies in the fact that a number of children, who are waiting for adoption, have disabilities, health problems or Roma, but practice shows that a small number of people decide to adopt them. At dismissal porodi?nopravnog status waiting for a long time, a potential adoptive parents are reluctant to adopt a child who is age - Pavlovi? explained.

At first glance, it seems that in Serbia because of the enormous paperwork and painful procedure almost impossible to adopt a child, but experts assure us that it is wrong for the people that the adoption of a lengthy, cumbersome process. After assessing the similarity of the most lasting up to three months, except in special situations where the required additional evidence, said Zoran Mila?i?, director of the Center for Protection of Infants, Children and Youth, experts proclaimed a similar pair. This is followed by a process specific eligibility for a child who is in the home. He is asking for the best pair - but the higher requirements. Then, many couples give up, but also social workers do not want to give those children who were not ready.

The waiting time for adoption only, however, is individual and depends on the characteristics identified potential adoptive parents, their expressed desire a child what they want to acquire, and most of how the future adoptive parents can "submit" development status, origin and nationality of the child.

Age difference

According to Article 99 of the Family Law, the age difference between the adopter and the adoptee shall be no less than 18 nor more than 45 years. Only in exceptional circumstances, and when it is judged that it is in the best interests of the child, the minister responsible for family protection may allow the adoption of those whose year exceed the legal framework, especially if there are justifiable reasons from the standpoint of the needs and interests of the particular child . In practice, the number of such adoptions is very small, and in the case of individuals, as in the Unified personal register of adoptions, the number of available adoptive parents is much greater than the number of children for adoption, allowing the selection of adoptive families in accordance with legal criteria, in most children.

It would be great if it were banned in Serbia that unborn children are aborted - the birth rate to rise, people who want and can not have children would be able to adopt children, and women who do not want children who become pregnant would have to repent after one hundred have committed infanticide in his youth.

Why not publish the phone numbers of those families who want to adopt a child? To be minors and other women who can not or do not want to keep your baby with these families make contact even before the unwanted child born, not to be killed, and after throwing the containers.

Apropo adoptions "white-skinned", because this can only Serbs to obelezavju children. At the end of the year one svedska family adopted two girls from Serbia Roma (two and four years), without any prejudice about skin color.
