Wednesday 25th of April 2012CEBU CITY, April 25 (PIA) -- .
In a press release from DSWD-7, 12 children in Central Visayas, six years old and below, were successfully matched by ICAB with their prospective adoptive parents in the countries of Canada, Spain, Ireland, Sweden, New Zealand, Finland, Italy, Australia, Norway, Netherlands, and the United States of America.
ICAB continuously assists the DSWD in finding permanent families for Filipino children who were not matched through the local inter country adoption program.
These children came mostly from the different licensed child caring agencies in Leyte, and in the cities of Cebu and Dumaguete namely the DSWD’s Reception and Study Center for Children (RSCC), NORFIL Cebu, Rainbow Village, and Asilo dela Milagrosa.
One other social worker from Leyte also joined to present additional two children for matching.
DSWD-7 Information Officer Jaybee Binghay said that for this quarter alone, DSWD has submitted 46 children for the scheduled on-site matching and out of this, 13 were already cleared by the DSWD’s Protective Services Bureau for inter-country adoption.
In 2011, DSWD-Central Visayas had processed 99 adoption cases most of which are local adoption with 35 cases while two were inter regional and 62 were for inter-country adoption.
Not only did ICAB conducted the on-site matching for processing of the children for adoption but also oriented the participants, who are mostly social workers from Cebu, Bohol, and Negros Oriental and Leyte on the inter country adoption procedures.
The activity also familiarized and established partnership with the members of the Inter Country Adoption Placement Committee and the staff of the ICAB.
Republic Act 8040 in 1995 entitled: An Act Establishing the Rules to Govern Inter Country Adoption of Filipino Children created the ICAB that acts as the central authority in matters relating to inter-country adoption. (mbcn/hfg-PIA 7 & DSWD-7)
