Adoption Scandal in Armenia: Adoption Data and Statistics

In November 2019, Armenia’s National Security Service (NSS) reported that it had launched a criminal investigation into numerous cases of foreigners illegally adopting Armenian children between 2016 and 2018.

Razmik Abrahamyan, director of the country’s Institute of Reproductive Health, Perinatology, Obstetrics, and Gynecology, and his deputy, Arshak Jerejyan, Anush Garsantsyan were charged with Article 167 (Illegal separation of the child from the parents or substitution of the child) and Article 200 (Commercial bribe) of the Criminal Code.

Another defendant in the case, Yerevan Children’s Home Director Liana Karapetyan, was charged with Article 167 and Article 314 (Official forgery).

All three were later released from detention on bail.

Hetq has studied data on adoptions in Armenia for the past ten years. Here are some interesting facts from the statistics of adoption.

1 ․ Errors, edits, and inconsistencies in state statistics

Data provided by the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs and the National Statistical Committee (NSC) on children adopted from Armenia over the past ten years do not match. According to the Ministry, 634 children have been adopted, while NSS mentions 849 children. The difference between these numbers is 215; not a small number. The biggest difference in statistics is observed in 2010 and 2011.

To explain the discrepancy in the statistics, Hetq contacted both institutions. The NSC replied that the source of their information on adoptions was the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs, the administrative body in the sector, and therefore the administrative register.

The Ministry provides data to the NSC on a semi-annual basis. If the NSC received data from the Ministry that was subsequently amended by the Ministry, some edits might be backdated.

"I can't comment on your observation that there was some kind of interference at some point, because I think law enforcement bodies can make such an assessment after doing some research," Deputy Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Zhanna Andreasyan told Hetq.

Andreasyan noted that the discrepancy in the statistics had also led the ministry to question the legality of some adoptions and appeal to law enforcement agencies. "We were also concerned about the difference in numbers because numbers are a means of control, and when there is a problem with them, it turns out that control over the situation is not a complete one," Andreasyan said.

She added that the Ministry is currently working on more accurate, efficient data collection and processing solutions.

2 ․ The majority of children adopted by foreigners had health issues

Until 2016, data from the NSC did not identify the health status of adopted children. However, the analysis of the data for 2016-2018 shows that the overwhelming majority of children adopted by foreigners were considered to have health issues: 86 percent of adopted children had health problems and 14 percent did not. At the same time, 78 percent of children adopted by Armenian citizens were healthy and 22 percent had health issues.

3. Most children were below 6 years

Adoptive parents mostly adopted young children. 85% of adopted Armenian citizens were 0-6 years old: 124 children were 6-12-months-old; 311 children were 1-6-year-old. The remaining age groups make up a small percentage.

This analysis of the data shows that children adopted from Armenia were mainly born to single mothers or had parents. Moreover, the state agencies organizing the adoption process have given preference to foreign adopters. Most of the children were sent to Italy and the United States. Most children sent abroad were considered to have health issues. The state was not interested in the fate of the adopted children.

In response to our query as to whether there was any oversight over the future status of children adopted by foreigners, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs responded that they did not have the function of overseeing the children of the Armenian citizens adopted abroad. We have received a similar response from the Ministry of Justice, stating that they do not exercise direct control over the care of the adopted child. "Information on the living conditions of the adopted child shall be collected in accordance with the legislation of the country concerned, by the competent authorities or accredited organizations in that country," the Ministry of Justice stated.

4 ․ Foreign adoptive parents were always prioritized, which is against the law

Armenia’s Family Code stipulates that the adoption of Armenian citizens by foreign nationals and stateless persons, as well as Armenian citizens residing outside of Armenia, is permitted only when there is no opportunity for these children to be raised in the families of Armenian citizens permanently residing in the Republic of Armenia or be adopted by relatives.

According to the NSC, 48 percent (1361) of those wishing to adopt in the last 10 years were from Armenia, and 52 percent (1493) were foreign nationals (12:13 ratio). However, only 18% (116 people) of those who adopted were citizens of Armenia, while 82% (518 people) were foreign nationals (9:41 ratio).

Thus, foreign adoptive parents were always prioritized.

5 ․ Most of foreigners adopting Armenian children were from Italy and the U.S.

In 2008-2018, about 50 percent (434) of children adopted by foreign nationals went to live in Italy and 45 percent (391) - the United States.

According to the official statistics, children were also adopted by citizens of France (37), Switzerland (7), Canada (6) and Germany (3).

6 ․ Most of the adopted children are from Yerevan

Sixty percent of children adopted within the last ten years were from Yerevan. Most of them were adopted from the Yerevan Children’s Home SNCO.

7. Most of the adopted children had living parents

In 2008-2018, 44 percent of adopted children were born to single mothers, 30 percent had two parents, and 20 percent were children without parental care. Thus, the adoption policy was not aimed at providing care for children without parents or parental care, but for adopting children born to single mothers or coming from families with many children.

Back in 2015, United Nations Special Rapporteur Ms. Maud de Boer-Buquicchio talked about child adoption issues in Armenia. "Irregularities committed in adoption processes, which can amount to sale of children for the purpose of illegal adoption, continue to be a major concern in the country," she said.

Dropping international adoptions FAMILY | Agencies shut down their programs amid shifting attitudes and burdensome bureaucracy by Mary Jackson Posted 2/07/20, 04:43 pm Dave and Sabrina Bjornstom anxiously waited with 12 other couples from the United States in a sixth-story room in a government office building in Guangzhou, China. Suddenly someone shouted, “They’re coming!” Rushing to the windows, they saw a line of women—each holding a baby—walking toward the building. That day in 2004, the Bjornstroms cradled Katie, one of their two adopted daughters from China, for the first time. Countless parents share similar experiences. In 2004, international adoptions by U.S. couples peaked at 23,000. But that number plummeted to 4,000 in 2018, an 80 percent drop. Last month, Bethany Christian Services, the nation’s largest evangelical adoption agency, announced its international program will end next year when its accreditation expires. It is no longer accepting new applications. Kristi Gleason, vice president of global services at Bethany, said the organization did not base the decision on changes in international laws and practices. Rather, she noted it was “a reflection of our desire to serve children in their own communities” by helping establish foster and child welfare systems that emphasize reunification and in-country adoptions. Shifting attitudes about international adoptions have contributed to its sharp decline. #MothersOfArmenia #ArmenianBabiesSold

But many agencies blame the U.S. State Department’s accrediting arm, which was established two years ago, for squeezing them out of the business. option At least 35 adoption service providers have canceled or relinquished their licenses, and 11 have had their licenses suspended since the federal government established the Intercountry Adoption Accreditation and Maintenance Entity (IAAME) in 2018. The number of licensed adoption service providers dropped to 125 from 278 in 2008.

Robin Sizemore, founder and executive director of Hopscotch Adoptions in High Point, N.C., said the IAAME levied false accusations against her agency, withheld information, and denied them due process. She hired two lawyers to refute State Department complaints and filed separate complaints against the accrediting entity. Self-reporting is now “a full-time position [at Hopscotch],” Sizemore said. “It seems like [the State Department] came into this with a mandate to close as many agencies as possible.” Upon establishment, the IAAME added a $500 monitoring and oversight fee for adoptive families and increased accreditation costs for adoption agencies. Dont worry Robin it will be awhile before you are closed down. First you have to spend $200,000 in legal fees with corrupt low class attorney's that will lie, cheat, and steal to try and keep your doors open. Remember what I said to you in 2011 when we walked out of the mediation hearing "iTS OVER" and your own adoptive families squeeled on you. Poetic Justice. You shameful woman, how about some redemption and unseal the records at Carolina Adoption Services and Hopscotch from 1996 to 2019 for the 24 birth mothers of Armenia who want to know where their children are that you stole from them. How about It Robin? I can arrange it for you since you are not allowed to step foot in Armenia --- I am sure I can facilitate your travel to Armenia with the names of the odars that purchased Armenian Babies. HERE ARE SOME OF THESE MOTHERS it even made it into the Daily Mail in England and no.....you will not be allowed to blame this on Italy. The 24 Armenian mothers protest daily till you unseal the records and disclose which odars purchased their children. You dirty white trash bitch its finally over. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-7827889/Armenia-shocked-baby-selling-network-obstetrician-orphanage-head-arrested.html

UNSEAL THE ADOPTION RECORDS ROBIN

BABIES BACK ...DO THEY LOOK GRATEFUL TO YOU?

Daniel Nehrbass, president of Nightlight Christian Adoptions, said his agency’s fees, paid over four years, jumped from $14,000 under the previous accrediting agency, the Council on Accreditation, to $309,000 with the IAAME. Nightlight’s clients have absorbed the cost. International adoptions now cost up to $50,000, depending on the country and the amount of travel required. “It’s not surprising that other agencies would decide this is not a strategic place to be involved,” Nehrbass said. In 2018, a group of 80 agencies, called Save Adoptions, filed a complaint with the State Department’s inspector general claiming the IAAME was unfit to operate under international Hague Convention requirements. The inspector general denied the complaint, and so far lobbying efforts with Congress and the White House have not succeeded. The State Department argues the IAAME is needed to protect children and families. In recent decades, reports of corruption and abuse have tainted international adoptions. Many countries, including China, Ethiopia, Guatemala, Kazakhstan, Romania, Russia, and South Korea have banned or cut back on international adoptions, often citing child abuse. Adoption agencies argue these instances are rare and that they can maintain ethical practices without shuttering international adoptions entirely. The United Nations estimates 140 million orphans exist worldwide. Nehrbass said there is room for numerous solutions to address the crisis. “Since the beginning, international adoption has been a calling that God puts on certain people’s hearts,” he said. “I don’t think that’s disappearing.” BULLSHIT that UN estimate has no basis of fact 140 million orphans in the world? Seriously that is the same marketing mantra used by International Adoption agencies 10 years ago. International Adoption was a $6 billion industry 1/3 fueled by American money why don't these parents who spend upwards of $30-50,000 to adopt a child overseas adopt one of the 140,000 American children sitting in Foster Care who are paper ready for Fost to Adopt? 1 in 4 children in America lives in poverty. Use the money for building the economy, schools, and jobs for people so they can CARE for their children. Shamelessly 100 American foster care children are adopted by foreigners every year.

Adopted by white mothers, Robin is a racist picking on people of other ethnicities and poor families that cannot pay for a child but in Robins eyes should be with a white mother who has money / job.
Guess what Robin? you don't make that choice on our children you will be held accountable. These photos are not copyrighted they are on the internet for anyone to copy, distribute or get disgusted with. OPEN UP THE RECORDS !!!!

"Kevork" Yacoubian the next time you believe these pathetic liars that someone is attacking "SOAR" and the falsity of Robin or her paid attorneys remember your conversation with Public Defender Cathi Pattinson and please note your reputation with SOAR is in jeopardy because of Robin's involvement in the NC Chapter. Its no secret that many members have walked away because of your explosive temperment and demeanor. SOAR is largely odars and there is a reason for that. Orphanages will be closing in Armenia over the next 3-5 years. You are more than welcome to help our groups ARS, Paros Foundation, Aid Beyond Borders and even the Armenian community that raises funds DIRECTLY for Sister A. and actually works on projects that lift the economy of Armenia so no child is left in an orphanage because their parents are not working or have food. I have the copies of your correspondence to me, but I know you wouldn't want to hurt SOAR any more than what Robin Sizemore has done. Anyone that matters in Los Angeles donates to the Armenian Orphanage fund of Los Angeles. Please join us for the projects that MATTER to Armenians .
Its time to cut the bad baggage away from SOAR

Remember when LaLa uped the price of your adoption when you were in country?......where did the extra money go?...ask Robin she is a pro at it and making $2 million + over a 5 year span (that she reports) The best attorney to work through adoption challenges in Armenia is Irene Steffas and she is well respected in Armenia. She has helped several people, and last we checked is also an ASP

LA LA Ghazarian .....still having tea on Thursdays with Eduard Amalyan?
