  • Foreign Citizens Adopted 44 Children From Armenia In 2005

    FOREIGN CITIZENS ADOPTED 44 CHILDREN FROM ARMENIA IN 2005

    Yerevan, Julky 11. ArmInfo. Forty-four children from Armenia were
    adopted by foreign citizens in 2005, Armenian Justice Minister David
    Haroutiunyan told ArmInfo.

    He said foreign citizens adopt about 40-50 Armenian children yearly
    in average. 75% of foreign citizens adopting children from Armenia
    are Armenians residing in the USA, France, Italy, Russia and other
    countries. Of course, tragic cases cannot be overseen, however,
    the government carefully studies the financial and social state of
    parents. Psychologists work with them for a long time to find out
    how the new family will perceive a new child, the minister said.

    Presenting an International Convention on protection of children's
    rights when adopted by foreign citizens at the Constitutional Court of
    Armenia, Minister Haroutiunyan said the document, which was signed
    on 29 May 1993 in Hague, aims to create mechanisms guaranteeing
    protection of children in case of their adoption by foreign citizens.

    Among the commitments Armenia undertook when signing the document is
    establishment of a consultative body regulating the adoption process.

    To note, Armenia joined the Convention with a reservation related
    Article 22: adoption of children by foreign citizens must meet the
    Armenian legislation and not the provisions of the Convention. To
    come into effect, the document requires ratification by the Armenian
    National Assembly.
