29-06-2012  JOINING OF EFFORTS PROVED ITS EFFECTIVENESS

The next stage of the project "Kazakhstan without orphans" has been completed. The source of this project was a public fund “DOM”, but a significant support in realization of this project rendered the charity funds “DARA” and “AYALA”. Due to the joint efforts of nongovernmental organizations, state agencies and deputies of the Majilis, the Code "On Marriage and Family" in terms of adoption was amended, what simplified and speeded up the process.

Today, the public fund "Voluntary Charity" presented the Internet portal Usynovite.kz, hosting public information about children available for adoption. In addition, potential foster parents through this portal can view a list of documents and stages of the adoption procedure. On the one hand, this portal will increase the number of children’s adoption, which are bringing up in boarding institutions. On the other hand, will prevent potential parents from the thoughtless emotional decision, which were taken in the orphanage or child care center. This, in its turn will reduce the number of refusals from the adopted children, because the return of the child in an orphanage is a horrible psychological trauma as for the adoptive parents and especially as for the child.

During the press conference the optimistic idea that “The portal is designed to ensure that over the time stop the existence because of the useless" was expressed, because the whole project will be completed, which aim is evident from its title – “Kazakhstan without orphans”.
