[NYC-L] Re: Adoption/ Not an option

[Imer Berisha]

As an Albanian I thank You for offering your help, but I believe that at the 
moment there is no need to send children abroad from Macedonia, apart from 
for medical treatment.

There are even less reasons for adoption/ the subject of the posting is 
Adoption/. Giving a child for adoption is not an option among Albanians in 
general, and I know for certain in Kosova and knowing Macedonian Albanians 
they will not even think about it. Family network incuding extented family 
is very supportive, and cose relatives would usually take care about the 
child if he/se is left without parents.

We had a case in Kosova Justice Department a year ago, an American lawyer 
wanted to adopt a child for a couple.  According to Kosovan Law that is the 
last option i.e. international adoption. As far as I know this adoption was 
not allowed.

Of course the help offered is understood and appreciated than and know but 
children play a very important role in family life in Kosova/within 
Albanians in general too/ and adoption is not something that is thought 
about as an option in general, let laone international adoption.
