YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 14, ARMENPRESS: Seven children have been removed
from children houses and transferred to foster families as a foster
family program ended in Gegharkunik and Lori provinces. The program
was designed and implemented by Armenian labor and social affairs
ministry in cooperation with UNICEF Armenia Office.
Lena Harutunian, an official of the ministry in charge of a department
dealing with children issues, said the children were transferred to
'the best families of both provinces,' which were selected based on a
set of tough requirements, such as housing safety, space and equipment,
good physical and emotional health, clearance by the department of
police, and ability to meet basic expenses.
The children will be under these families' care until they become
of full legal age. This program comprised two stages. In the second
stage a team of experts trained by British specialists held special
training courses for the selected children and families. This program
is to be implemented in other regions of Armenia as well.
