The new project to improve adoption processes

Today a bicameral meeting was held on the rights of children and adolescents whose objective was to carry out an informative meeting about the Single Registry of Aspirants to Guard for Adoptive Purposes , that is, they were in charge of analyzing and debating the alignments about the processes and records that are needed to finalize an adoption .

Paola Vessvessian , national deputy for the province of Santa Cruz, began by announcing that within that meeting there was the presence of the National Director of the single registry of aspiring guardians for adoptive purposes , Gustavo Herrero , whose purpose was that that person can tell about the situation of the adoption system in Argentina. Therefore, she gave the floor to him.

"We have proposed to work from now on fundamentally to improve the process, that is the intention we have," Herrero began by saying. And he explained that they promoted different meeting spaces for several years where they give informative talks for families or interested people who have not had contact with adoption "to dispel myths and clarify doubts."

"We make available to the community a program of counseling and accompaniment to families in a period of bonding, custody, and adoption, because many times they need it and we as a State must assume that responsibility," he continued. And he added that a data that is fundamental is the reduction of half the files in the database: "we believe that it is due to multiple factors, economic, the pandemic, among other reasons."

He also commented that adoptive availability is "wide", that is, people already approach the adoption system with a lot of prior information. "In the public calls, we asked ourselves if they worked, in addition to the adoption issue, on the different family models that we have in our society," he added.

Then Juan Jeannot took the floor, who was in charge of counting the objectives: “the idea is to accompany the families in the bonding stage and then to be able to articulate with the intervening actors to start the first encounters that build the gradual bond ”. Then commented that the bonding stage. Regarding the pandemic, he said: "Many of the meetings were made through virtual platforms, including video calls and then face-to-face meetings began."

Then, Guadalupe Tagliaferri: "Adoption is a right of children and adolescents, not a right of adults to have a family," and then added: "We hear all the time the voice of adults about waiting time and they really want the baby with full adoption ”. Then Carla Carrizo: "The project is based on two points: 1) abbreviated processes when there are appeals 2) what the judge does when informing the State."
