A Romanian quality paper revealed today that the European Commission put pressure on researches in order to conclude that there is a need for a European Adoption Agency, while the underlying research did not support that conclusion.  Kooiman: ‘We all know the desire for more means and more power of the European Commission, but to use the problems around adoption for this, I would find horrible.

Countries, including France and Spain, have streamlined the process in the hope of getting young people to safety as soon as possible.

But the United Nations Children’s Fund (Unicef) and other welfare groups have warned that orphans risk being separated from their families and that the well-meaning moves by Westerners could even be considered to be abuse.

The adoption row came as the UN said Haitian children had also been abducted from hospitals by people traffickers taking advantage of the chaos to trade ‘orphans’ on the international adoption market.
