Ethica: A Voice for Ethical Adoption HomeIntercountry infoDomestic infoHague ConventionImmigration infoSurveysFor the mediaAbout usContact usBookstoreSupport EthicaLinks Search WWW Search ethicanet.org WELCOME TO ETHICAMajority of Global "Orphans" Have FamiliesEthica welcomes UNICEF's recent clarification on the number of global orphans and that the majority of these children, in fact, have one living parent or extended family to care for them.  Over the years, the inclusive UNICEF definition of “orphan” has been cited by various sources as the basis for decisions on where to expend funds and create programs. For many people, the word “orphan” brings to mind children who have no parents. Therefore, we applaud UNICEF’s clarification that of the estimated 132 million orphans, about 10% or 13 million orphans have lost both parents.  This distinction lends some clarity into issues impacting international adoption. Over the years, the oft quoted figure of 143 million orphans has been used to justify a lack of regulation, rebut contentions of adoption fraud, and question the significant numbers of children placed in some small countries because the prevailing myth is that all “orphans” from developing countries have no families or communities to care for them.  Statement Continued HereEthica's position on Legal Unions for Gay and Lesbian ParentsEthica believes that children need permanency in loving homes.  We support any action that ethically provides that.  We are troubled that while children are often finding permanent homes in gay and lesbian households, there is less permanency than we'd like to see due to the lack of legal relationships for both parents and their children.  States that do not provide for the necessary legal provisions are not doing all that can be done to create true permanency for children.  However this can be addressed through the availability of same sex marriage, civil unions with full rights, and legal adoption by both parents.  To this end, Ethica encourages legislative action that reflects best adoption practices and research supporting gay and lesbian families.  It is vital that legal connections are established between their children and both parents.  Statement Continued HereEthica's Position on Fathers' RightsEthica believes in the preservation of families of origin; that children should be parented by their original parents, if at all possible. We believe that support and help should be given to original parents so that they can parent their children, and we believe that poverty and youthful age are not reasons for any parent to be separated from their children.  Statement Continued HereEthica Founder and President Trish Maskew Departing; Successor NamedTrish Maskew, president of Ethica, is leaving the group she founded in 2002. Melissa Griebel, current vice-president and director of domestic policy, will succeed Maskew as President on June 20, 2008. Maskew is leaving Ethica’s Board of Directors to accept a position at the U.S. Department of Justice, Office of Immigration Litigation, where she will begin working this fall. Continued on Press ReleaseU.S. Department of State Letter of Appreciation Ethical Voices for Adoption - Join the ChorusEthica has launched a fundraiser in order to meet the demand for our services including crisis management (visas, new adoption policies, fraud, etc.) as well as research and policy (training for adoption regulators, state and federal law reviews, etc.).  Our goal is to raise $20,000 by May 23rd.  For roughly the cost of one adoption, your support will help us continue assisting thousands of families.  In the past 5 years alone we have assisted over 8,000 families.  This year we expect at least 2,000 more.  We need your voice.  Please Join the Chorus.Thank you. Support Ethical Vietnamese AdoptionsEthica encourages adoption community to alert their representatives to the possible closure of Vietnamese adoptions to American citizens, and to the need for additional oversight in order to protect Vietnamese and American families from exploitation.  Voice your concerns here.
