MINISTER for Children Frances Fitzgerald will meet with
senior officials in Moscow to advance the possibility of an adoption agreement
between Ireland and Russia.
The Minister will meet with Russia's Minister of Education
and Science, Dmitry Livanov, and other officials in the Russian Duma.
Over 1,600 Irish-based couples have adopted children from
Russia, which is the second largest source country for Irish adopters.
A major legal issue which arises in these cases is Moscow's
insistence that any child adopted by Irish couples would retain their Russian
citizenship. This presents a problem under Irish law as children adopted into a
"constitutional family" become Irish children for the purposes of
Irish law. Russia is also insisting on post-placement reports for any child
adopted by Irish couples.
The purpose of the meeting is to see to what degree
negotiation of a bilateral agreement can deal with the concerns of both
countries and their legal systems.
Child adoption is a great way to get child but there are so many formalities to adopt a child. People must have to complete it. There is very useful information in content about child adoption. Thank you for sharing.
