The Nepal from January 5, 2011, stayed adoptions of children found on the streets.
A position important to limit the illegal trafficking of minors.
According to reliable estimates in Kathmandu there are currently about 2,000 "street children" are forced to work for a few rupees as waiters or dishwashers in restaurants and Bhatti (tea shop). Many are forced to carry around cups of tea, working on construction sites moving bricks and cement, or working as parking attendants. All wages were insufficient to pay for a room and then forced to live in the pagodas of temples or in the doorways of shops. Here we meet with the gangs of beggars, metal and plastic bins that can not find a job and survive. When you need to go eat, sleep, more rarely, in hundreds of schools that should accommodate them.
last year had created a new and profitable illegal traffic: police wore street children in orphanages and then from there they were ready for adoption in the West. A serious situation that has led the Nepalese government to intervene by banning international adoption for children in this condition.
Many street children have in fact a family (often disrupted by migration) and arrive in Kathmandu from villages in search of some remnant of luck. Maybe the parents are looking for them, as in many cases it was found.
The commitment of the Nepalese government, with the introduction of this new legislation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption, aims to prevent the recurrence of cases where children were sent abroad without proper verification of their situation.
