While their adoptions began at the same time, Malia’s case was not yet finalized when Naima was allowed to leave Kinshasa in August of 2013. Naima and her mother left the country with heavy hearts but the consolation of knowing that the final member of their forever family would soon be joining them. On Sept. 25, the Immigration and Emigration office of the Congolese government suddenly announced that they would no longer issue exit permits for adoptees, the final document required for a child to leave the country. No reason was given at the time, but they have since cited concerns about the health and well-being of adopted children.

Malia is barbie doll clothing accessories, barbie shoes, hat & pocketbook,purse, bag, ballet shoes, sun hat, mary janes now one of 368 children legally adopted by Americans but “stuck” in the Congo, according to Kelly Dempsey, an international adoption lawyer with Both Ends Burning, an adoption advocacy organization, There are an additional 424 Congolese children with U.S, adoptions pending, “More children are affected every day,” Dempsey said, “The Congolese adoption process is not stopping, just the exit of children, including those who are medically fragile and may not survive this process, It’s a very dysfunctional set of circumstances.”..

For Holly and Mike Doden of San Francisco, the uncertainly feels unbearable at times. Their legally adopted son, Jephte was just 3 months old when they began the process almost two years ago. During her last visit with Jephte, Holly was in the Congo for three months, assured that an exit letter would be granted. When it became clear that the letter was not coming, she placed her son in foster care and returned to the States, where she has another child. “If I had known that I couldn’t bring him home, I never would have spent that much time with him,” Holly said. “He learned to trust me and was calling me mommy. Then all of a sudden I had to leave him with people he didn’t even know. It’s unhealthy for him to attach and then have that attachment broken over and over again.”.

US steps in, In April, 171 members of Congress, including California Sens, Dianne Feinstein and Barbara Boxer and Representative Sam Farr, signed a congressional letter imploring the government of the Democratic Republic of Congo to work with the United States on a resolution, Secretary of State John Kerry also raised the issue during an early May visit with President Joseph Kabila, during which he pledged $30 million in additional funding from the United States on top of already substantial financial assistance, There has barbie doll clothing accessories, barbie shoes, hat & pocketbook,purse, bag, ballet shoes, sun hat, mary janes been no response..

“The failure here is in our diplomacy,” Dempsey asserted. “Families complied with all laws, completed valid, legal, binding adoptions, are being kept from fulfilling their obligations to these children, and we are doing nothing to find out why. The only way to fix this is to make it a political priority. We need Secretary Kerry’s full attention on this issue and members of congress actively working on a solution.”. Pressure from Dempsey’s organization and concerned parents across the county has begun to have an effect. In a written statement, Feinstein said, “I’m closely following the issue of adoptions in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which is affecting more than 20 Californian families. I support Secretary Kerry’s call for the Congolese to rapidly review their adoption process and lift the suspension on exit permits for adopted children. The DRC is punishing Congolese children who deserve loving parents, a safe home and, in some cases, anti-HIV medication. The DRC says it’s acting on behalf of these children, but continued delays are only making the situation worse.”.

Meanwhile Farr is co-sponsoring a house resolution that recognizes the “significant financial investments” the US has made in the Democratic Republic of Congo, The draft document “respectfully requests” that the Congolese government resume processing and issuing exit permits and encourages continued dialogue and cooperation between the two countries to improve the inter-country adoption process, Such efforts are greatly appreciated by Easter, who acknowledges that the Congolese have a right to protect their children, “They may have correctly identified that the adoption system in Congo needs work and that is a good thing,” she said, “But what hasn’t barbie doll clothing accessories, barbie shoes, hat & pocketbook,purse, bag, ballet shoes, sun hat, mary janes happened is all of the parties haven’t come to the table to try and resolve this.”..

As the wheels of political discourse slowly turn, Naima has settled into her new American life. Perched on the couch in her sunny Westside Santa Cruz home, she chats about sleepovers, birthday parties and a recent class field trip to Wilder Ranch. When asked about Malia’s eventual arrival, she points to a photo taken back in Kinshasa of the two girls flanking their beaming mother and says, “It will be like that.”. Easter fights back tears looking at the happy trio in the photo.

“I do think Malia will be home with us someday,” she said, “I want this to be over for all three of us, And when that happens I want her to know how hard we fought for her, I want her to know that she wasn’t forgotten.”, Her bunk bed will be waiting, On May 26, the Congolese General Direction of Migration informed members of the diplomatic corps barbie doll clothing accessories, barbie shoes, hat & pocketbook,purse, bag, ballet shoes, sun hat, mary janes that it would issue exit permits to 62 children adopted by foreigners whose cases fully conform to existing Congolese adoptions laws, This list includes 15 children adopted by U.S, families, including Malia Easter, It does not include Jephte Doden..
