Adopting Change

October 14, 2007 - 12:30 PM by

Israel’s adoption laws may be changing soon.

Currently when a mother releases her child to adoption she is no longer privvy to information about that child’s welfare or fate.

But according to Hebrew press, the Israeli government will vote on implementing a new law that will allow biological mothers to “track” their children and eventually meet a biological child when he/she turns 25.

The proposed change came about after MK Estrina Tartman who says she proposed the legislation after receiving appeals from biological mothers who were “torn, not sleeping at night and desperate to know fates of their children” years – sometimes decades – after relinquishing children to adoptive parents.

Tartman believes the proposal will go through – vote comes up in a few weeks…Let’s hope so.
