2013 Annual Activity Report

ADOR COPIII Association is a unique and inspirational project for Romania, initiated by adoptive parents desiring to bring

their experience in support of vulnerable children blocked by the social protection system and to contribute to the

improvement of the adoption process. ADOR COPIII has become the community of the adoptive families and of all those

who understand that the most vulnerable human beings in Romania are the abandoned infants for whom the welfare system

becomes less helpful every day.

COMPETENCIES

2013 Annual Activity Report

Meanwhile, missconceptions about adoption and especially adoption of Rroma

children, children with disabilities, or older children, increases the number of

abandoned children who are not integrated into a permanent family.

Based on statistical data reported in 2013, the status quo of the social protection

system can be summarized as follows:

60,000 children in the social protection system

2,241 adoptable children

1,506 certificated adopting families or individuals

580 finalized adoptions

Abandonment

is one of the

worst cases of abuse

a child

may face.

CONTEXT The number of abandoned chi ldren who flood the files and folders of social workers increases every year, and as those

infants get older, their chances to be integrated in a family and adopted decreases dramatically. In addition the bureaucracy,

the lack of transparency and the difficulty to access information hampers the adoption process of an orphan, and also

discourages families from adopting those children, depriving them of their fundamental human rights, and making them

victims of a failed system Romania.
