Exhaustive Study

It is about making visible and showing the characteristics of the biological families of the boys and girls who are adopted in the Autonomous Community of the Region of Murcia between the period 1987-2007. To verify these data, an exhaustive study of a total of 29 adoption files provided by the General Directorate of Families, as well as 4 interviews with adoptive parents. They constitute a sample and a significant example of the characteristics and social traits of biological families. Through case studies, we reflect on whether they have been excluded from the adoption process due to the characterization that emerges from them, as they are framed in serious problematic contexts that accentuate the risk that the minors entail living in these families.

Para constatar estos datos se ha realizado un estudio exhaustivo de un total de 29 expedientes de adopción facilitados por la Dirección General de Familias, así como 4 entrevistas a padres adoptantes. Constituyen una muestra y un ejemplo significativo de las características y rasgos sociales de las familias biológicas. A través de estudios de caso reflexionamos sobre si éstas han sido excluidas del proceso de adopción por la caracterización que se desprende de ellas, al estar enmarcadas en contextos problemáticos graves que acentúan el riesgo que supone para los menores vivir en esas familias.

The Right

The adoption process in our country traditionally has been designed to safeguard the rights of adoptive parents, insure the solidarity of the adoptive family, and preserve the anonymity of the natural parents. To accomplish this, when adoptions are finalized, the original birth certificate is "sealed" and a new certificate is issued in the name of the adoptive parents. Once sealed, the laws of most states specify that the original record can be opened only by court order and for "just cause." A few states have provisions for opening of the records on demand of the adoptee when that person becomes an adult. This provision often turns out to be true in theory but not in practice, and the definition of "just cause" has varied greatly from court to court. Most adoptive parents have warm and loving relationships with their adoptive children. Most try to pass on to them, at appropriate times, as much of the birth information as they know and are able to provide. Most adoptees have a warm and loving and truly bonded relationship with their adoptive parents. In spite of this, and regardless of their attachment to the adoptive parents, some adoptees, as they reach maturity, have a compelling desire to learn of their natural parent or parents. Many adult adoptees and adoption specialists see this search as essential to the establishment of a sense of identity. Most reports of reunions indicate that adoptees have been pleased with the meeting and that their ties to their adoptive parents have been strengthened thereby.

Africa’s economic development will result from conscious efforts directed towards diversification and increased productivity in its low-performing agricultural sector. Technology development, transfer and uptake, which are low for now, are indispensible necessities in this respect. The purpose of this chapter is to review the characteristics, importance, constraints and technology adoption process of African agriculture to identify factors that enhance or hinder technology uptake. This is with a view to isolating lessons for developers or packagers of new agricultural or other technologies for Africa, especially nanotechnology and microelectronics which are evolving and transformational. The attributes of technologies that have made desired impact in African agriculture included cheapness, simplicity, observability, visibility of results, usefulness, compatibility with existing technologies and farm- or farmer-specific socio-economic or socio-cultural conditions. Case studies of the welfare-enhancing impacts of adopted agricultural technologies were examined under use of fertilizers, improved varieties and biotechnology. Useful lessons for development and transfer of nanotechnology and micro-electronics to Africa were highlighted.

Abstract:The debate over the practice of proxy adoption sheds light on changing notions of proper intercountry adoption practices and standards of family planning as they developed in the mid-twentieth century. The practice of proxy adoption was born out of a loophole in U.S. immigration legislation, initially used by Americans to adopt European orphans after World War II. After the Korean War, the practice was again utilized to bring Korean children in even greater numbers to the United States. Through proxy adoption, adoptive parents bypassed the standard checkpoints of the adoption process as established by U.S. social welfare agencies. Although initially hailed as a humane practice, proxy adoption was ultimately banned in 1961 after a successful antiproxy adoption campaign waged by a coalition of social welfare workers, Catholic leaders, and U.S. senators. The role of Catholic agencies in this debate is essential, yet remains largely unexplored. This article sheds light on this significant and underresearched history of the Catholic institutions involved in the proxy adoption debate.The Catholic agencies, namely the National Catholic Welfare Conference and the Catholic Committee for Refugees, stood apart from both the government social welfare establishment and other humanitarian actors. Their actions must instead be understood through the context of their own institutional history of domestic social welfare programs and overseas humanitarian work, dating from the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. This article analyzes their relationship with the U.S. social welfare establishment, as well as joint advocacy efforts to reform intercountry adoption practices.

Providing health care for adopted children always has been a significant part of pediatric practice, and pediatricians have provided services in different areas of the adoption process for many years. Recent changes in adoption prompt a reevaluation of the pediatrician's role in managing the medical care of adopted children and their families. There has been a gradual shift from viewing adoption as a childless couple's opportunity to find an infant to focusing on the needs of the child first by placing children within families who can help them realize their fullest potential. Increasingly, adoption agencies work with older children and special needs children who have physical handicaps, emotional problems, or chronic medical illness. Private adoptions are often arranged outside of agencies, sometimes with open discussions between birth and adoptive parents. In addition, there are now more than 10 000 international adoptees entering this country each year. The pediatrician must be equipped to evaluate the special needs of all these children and to help their new families integrate them into the family unit. This statement addresses the initial medical evaluation of adoptive children who may have acute and long-term medical, psychological, and developmental problems because of their genetic, emotional, cultural, psychosocial, and/or medical backgrounds. Prior to adoption, or at the time of entry into the family, the pediatrician should begin a careful medical assessment of the child and should counsel the family appropriately regarding adoption issues. Pediatricians should be alert to the following potential problems:

Power Negotiations

In an inter-country adoption process, the private issue of becoming a parent takes place within a regulated institutional setting and process with professionals acting as gatekeepers along the way. This qualitative study based on 19 narrative interviews scrutinizes the strategic interaction used by prospective adoptive parents to navigate the controlling institutional setting of statutory pre-adoption services. This social interaction with the professionals is analysed as power negotiations and discussed by utilizing Goffman’s conceptual framework of expression management and stage play. The study shows that prospective adoptive parents, whose primary aims differ from those of the professionals, play on different teams than the professionals. Therefore, they utilize expression games through information, emotion, and team management in order to put their best foot forward in the pre-adoption services. But along the inter-country adoption play the audience shifts and the professionals often join the same team as the future adoptive parents. Further, the article discusses the consequences of this on the relationship between the professionals and prospective adoptive parent as a client within a global inter-country adoption scene.

The State and the Government are obliged and responsible for the orderliness of children adoption practices, both in terms of administration and legal certainty. Therefore several policies were issued through legislation and jurisprudence that regulates and handles the issue of children adoption. The implementation of children adoption must be based on Government Regulation of the Republic of Indonesia Number 54 of 2007 concerning Children Adoption. This study aims to get an overview and explanation of the Implementation of Licensing for ChildrenAdoption in Bengkulu Province Based on Government Regulation 54 of 2007 concerning the Implementation of Children Adoption. The children adoption process requires regulations that are in accordance with the Laws and Government Regulations and needs control of how they are implemented in the field. In addition to the Social Department of Bengkulu Province as the technical executor of adoption activities, it is necessary to establish a Regional Consultation Team for Children Adoption (known as PIPA in Indonesian abbreviation), to avoid irregularities in the process of implementation of children adoption, such as the adoption of children carried out without proper procedures, falsification of data and the existence of child trafficking, so the goal of adopting a child for the best interests of the child is not achieved. In analyzing the data in this thesis, the researcher applied a qualitative juridical analysis approach that describes the picture of the data obtained by researcher in the field and connects with each other to get a general conclusion.
