Lawyer of the Justo- Bornachins’: Vika is constantly repeating that she wants to come back to Italy :: Charter'97 :: News

Vika Maroz can’t be adopted and the application submitted to corresponding authorities by the Justo- Barnachins’ can’t be accepted for consideration. This indifferent official announcement was made by Nalallia Paspelava, director of the Minsk national center for adoption on Friday evening, the Italian “La Repubblica” newspaper writes ”. The Hague Convention on the Juvenile Rights signed and ratified by Belarus in 2003 says that the child received into the family of his compatriots or into the family outside his country can’t become the object of adoption. It is not a Belarusian law, remarks the upper manager of the ministry for education, it is an international law standard”.

This news became known at the press conference on international adoption taking place in the Belarusian capital on Friday. The news was repeated at the Human Rights site and confirmed by Ambassador Alyaksey Skripko. These days the Belarusian and Italian commissions are considering the possibility of resuming decision- making on 400 adoption applications submitted in 2005 as well as on the issues of the so-called “ therapeutic “ vacations in the course of which 30 thousand Belarusian children annually come to Italy. That was terminated in the last September since Vika, the subject of the above-mentioned dispute, had not been given back to her country’s authorities. After the vacation organized for the Chernobyl’s children the girl renamed Mari had been secretly kept in the Saint- Wane abbey. Kiarra Bornachin and Alessandro Justo kept declaring that the girl had been suffering psychological and physical violence at the orphanage in Vileyka. They proved Maria’s confession by the medical tests.

Anyway, after the girl`s returning to her home country, the Genoa family didn’t drop their intentions to adopt the girl and submitted another application via he Brutia association. Director Pospelava’s declaration came several months after Maria had been received into the family of Alena and Syargei Vasileusky, a married couple who had received Maria’s elder brother a 13 years-old Alyaksandr two years before. The question “if the Justos` could adopt her” was answered by the directress of the national center for adoption in the following way:” It might be possible in case the girl’s stay in the Belarusian family were terminated, but I don’t think this may happen. They work, they treat the children correctly”.

However, in the last October the Vasileuskys’ announced to the BelaPAN that they” were not ready for adoption”.

Kiarra (5 months` pregnant woman) and Alessandro prefer keeping silence and let their lawyer Kamilla Dolcini speak. “Yes, this answer means another blow”, the lawyer says waiting for her other appeal to be answered by ambassador Scripko or his lawyer Diego Perujinni. Probably, the married couple and their lawyer foresaw the trick aimed at interfering with the adoption. Kamilla Dolcini reminds us of the Vika-Maria’s desire.”I am aware of her constantly repeating her desire to return to Italy”.
