Considering child adoption,
each country has its own rules and regulations, and it is not easy
to establish a fair balance between the rights of the child and
those of the parents.
However, the law that monitors child adoption in Italy (law n° 149/01),
although it has been widely criticised, is also considered as one
of the best at international level, because it aims at providing
a family to the child instead of a child to a family. And therefore
the rights of the minor are more protected.
Although the Italian law progresses in the right direction,
it does not go far enough because it does not sufficiently take
into account the fundamental and inalienable rights of the human
being:
THE RIGHT TO KNOW ABOUT ONE'S ORIGIN, WHERE
ONE COMES FROM
ASTRO NASCENTE fully concentrates on this particular
point in a very unobtrusive and discreet manner, showing full consideration
to all opinions and also providing psychological
support to those who choose to follow this difficult route full
of unexpected events.
ASTRO NASCENTE puts forward an innovative service
that takes advantage of the private and/or public bodies already
in operation and does its best to bring together emotionally the
adopted children and the parents or relatives.
It is rarely an easy task, but unless someone suggests some other
way easier or better, we shall take it.
Even when one experiences a perfect adoption where every operation
runs smoothly, one cannot ignore the fact that the mother who "carried"
the child during nine months and who gave it birth, must not be
left in a state of uncertainty and doubt because it could deeply
hurt her feelings for the rest of her life.
A public advertisement
service such as the one proposed by ASTRO NASCENTE, gives
the child when it becomes an adult, the possibility to rebuild the
history of his life and to know his real parents. These parents
who abandoned their child for hundreds of (good) reasons, but later
who recovered the control of their situation and wish to know about
their offspring.
For the adopted child, it is important to know that his real parents
wish to meet him, giving him the choice to accept the meeting or
not.
In Italy many important battles that seemed impossible
to win in the first place were finally won, and the project put
forward by ASTRO NASCENTE is a great combat for human rights
and is certainly worthwhile supporting, because it gives the adopted
children a large array of possibilities, providing them with the
opportunity to rebuild their past and their history.
We are on earth only for a limited period
of time.
"I would very much like to know and meet
the woman who gave me birth and hear her tell me why she abandoned
me, disappearing perhaps without ever looking back."
