The Social Agency (Dinsos) of Ambon City, Maluku, is opening\nopportunities for members of the public who wish to adopt an abandoned\nbaby, but the adoption process must be carried out through selection,\nassessment and applicable legal procedures.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe baby who was previously found abandoned has now been handed over\nto the Ambon City Social Agency by the police and Al Fatah Hospital to\nreceive care and protection,\u201d said Head of the Ambon City Social Agency\nWendy Pelupessy in Ambon on Monday.<\/p>\n
He said the baby can later be handed over to prospective adoptive\nparents after undergoing a strict selection and assessment process.<\/p>\n
\u201cIndeed, many people need a baby, many who do not have children want\nto adopt a baby. But all of that must be in accordance with the criteria\nand procedures that adoptive parents must meet,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
After the selection process is carried out, prospective adoptive\nparents will undergo a three-month period of observation, monitoring and\nevaluation. This process is carried out to ensure the care conditions\nand readiness of prospective adoptive parents in meeting the needs and\nrights of the child.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, the child\u2019s status will be processed through the courts\nin accordance with applicable provisions. Determination as a child of\nthe state is part of the stages before the adoption process can be\nofficially established.<\/p>\n
\u201cAfter that, we still have to wait for a hearing for the adoption\nruling. Usually the ruling is made according to the existing court\nschedule, so it is possible that the adoption ruling process can only be\ncarried out next year,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
The appeal was made after many members of the public expressed a\ndesire to adopt the baby following the emergence of the baby abandonment\ncase.<\/p>\n
According to him, this situation shows that many people still have\nconcern and a desire to provide care for children who need\nprotection.<\/p>\n
He reminded parents who are in a condition of being unable to care\nfor their children not to take actions that endanger the baby\u2019s safety,\nincluding abandoning or discarding the child.<\/p>\n
\u201cRather than throwing the child in a rubbish bin, it is better for\nparents to come to the Social Agency. We can help find prospective\nadoptive parents through the applicable procedures,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
According to him, every child has the right to life, to receive\nprotection and to have a proper future after being born.<\/p>\n
\u201cChildren do not want to be born and then thrown away. They have the\nright to life because they have been born,\u201d he said.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/ambon-social-agency-opens-adoption-pathway-for-abandoned-babies-under-proper-procedures-1787583267", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
