Kennelijk mochten zij gewoon verder gaan met (onverantwoorde??) adopties enkele maanden na de aardbeving. Hoe kan het toch steeds dat landen die hetzelfde adoptie verdrag tekenen totaal verschillende regels hebben.

Haiti’s adoption authority, the Institut du Bien-être Social et de Recherches(IBESR), has informed the U.S. Government that they are now accepting new adoption applications for Haitian children who were either documented as orphans before January 12, 2010, or who have been relinquished by their birth parent(s) since the earthquake. The U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince has also resumed normal visa processing. We encourage prospective adoptive parents to verify that their application is being processed in accordance with Haitian legal requirements and the procedures established by IBESR. For more details on intercountry adoptions from Haiti please see Haiti country specific information.
