Evaluación de la adopción internacional en la República de Moldavia

In 2014, ISS/IRC was commissioned by UNICEF Moldova and the Ministry of Labour, Social Protection and Family (MLSPF) of Moldova. The mission report was released by UNICEF in 2016, and provides an overview of the assessment undertaken, whose aim was to:

• Analyse the legal and policy framework related to domestic and intercountry adoption in view of international standards and good practices;
• Document, map and assess the existing practices related to domestic and intercountry adoption, with particular attention to the best interests of the child, matching procedures, training of parents, pre-adoptive placement, efficiency of administrative and legal proceedings, monitoring domestic and intercountry adoptions, and implementation of existing laws, policies and procedures;
• Provide concrete recommendations to improve the practice around domestic and intercountry adoption, in particular regarding – but not limited to – matching procedures, pre-adoption services (including training of prospective parents), and post-adoption monitoring.
