After 15 years of activity...
We must continue the fight to defend the children that are completely missing the parental guarding Right for a family
- March 15, 2012 Chatharsis association joins the 33rd NGOs requesting Romanian Office for Adoptions to modify the Government Decision no. 233/2012 regarding the new Adoption Law application methodology and to reauthorize the private organisations performing activities in the field of adoption.
- The amendments suggested by the NGOs representatives were supported with arguments, such as: identifying the most appropriate families for adoption, increasing the number of adopted children, reducing the number of institutionalized children, generating jobs, training and developing teams of specialists, ensuring salaries and contributions to the local budget.
- The Romanian Office for Adoptions promised that it shall consider the suggested amendments, but did not honoured the promise. The Government Decision no. 233, in its initial status, signed only by the prime minister, shall become effective starting March 27th 2012. From this date the authorised NGOs are not to assess the families that want to adopt. Practically, the NGOs were removed from the adoption services suppliers and the Authorisation Certificates and the Licences for such services were abusively cancelled.

November 20th - December 9th 2012
With the occasion of the International Day of Children’s Rights, Catharsis Association Braşov initiated the campaign “We want a Romania without any orphans”. The campaign’s main objective is the annulment of the Adoption Law in force, respectively Law no. 273/2004, republished in 2012, as well as of the Government Decision no. 233/2012 regarding services and activities that can be carried out by Romanian private bodies within the internal adoption procedure and their authorization methodology.
The campaign began through a public debate to which USL candidates participated, during the parliamentary elections from December 9th 2012, children and young people, victims of the Adoption Law in force and which was carried out for 20 days, in the period November 20th – December 9th 2012. The Parliament candidates promised a new law, in accordance to the international right documents that regulate adoption, the needs of thousands of children abandoned by the parents in hospitals and neglected by the state in foster care centres.
During the Campaign, Catharsis Association sent daily and one by one to the local and central media 20 articles from the current Adoption Law that violates the United Nations Convention regarding Children’s Rights. The United Nations Convention, approved by the United Nations General Assembly in November 20th 1989 was ratified by the Romanian Parliament through Law no. 18 as of September 1990.
In the same period, the Campaign was also carried out on Facebook. The sympathy wave that the Campaign had among users, Romanian people from the country and abroad and foreigners from all over the planet is impressive.

In 2012, Santa Claus gives Senator Sebastian Grapă a special gift: The New Law concerning Adoption
The celebration of Christmas continued until December 17th when Santa Claus and Mrs. Claus offered a special “gift” to Senator Sebastian Grapă: The draft of the law regarding adoption in Romania, draft filed by the Association at the Romanian Parliament on September 1st 2010. The draft, drawn up in collaboration with 33 Non-Governmental Organizations and representatives of the General Directorate of Social Assistance and Child Protection from 20 counties, having as legal foundation the United Nations Convention regarding children’s rights and the Hague Convention regarding child protection and cooperation in terms of international adoption, has been approved by the Human Rights Commission from the Chamber of Deputies but being in competition with the Government Draft, remained “forgotten” into the deputies’ drawers.
Senator Sebastian Grapă promised a debate of the Draft in the Parliament’s plenum and assured us that Romania will have a new Adoption Law in the first three months of the year 2013. It will be a law that will fulfil the higher interest of children definitely deprived of paternal protection: A home for every child.
