Propuesta de reforma modificatoria a los artículos 179 y 186 referentes al seguimiento de las adopciones contenidos en los capítulos III, IV, del título VII de la adopción, del Código Orgánico de la Niñez y Adolescencia
In recent years we can see that our country Ecuador albeit government policy on the social side has allowed some progress, are however still the abandonment of Children and Adolescents by their parents has become common practice, it is not uncommon to see that despite certain policies adopted by the current regime still have them on the streets to be victims of labor exploitation, sexual, begging conditions, including trafficking and drug trafficking. Moreover, it is also important to note that our Constitution guarantees their integral development assuring the full exercise of their rights, so for those under declared abandoned has the opportunity to grow their family through a method of family continuity that allows accommodate a child and provide a proper, permanent and definitive family, known as adoption.
Currently the MIES (Ministry of Economic and Social Inclusion) changes its structure to improve the implementation of social policies is so regarding adoptions through UTA nine (TECHNICAL UNIT FOR ADOPTION) throughout the country applies a strictly inclusive policy. That is, having two programs Adoption, the first is called General Program for Adoption (children 0-3 years) and the second called Priority Adoption Program (children aged 3-17 years old, sibling groups and children with disability or illness).
It is also important to note that individuals and Ecuadorian families wish to choose this option perpetuity family have priority on the issue of the adoption of the desire of those foreign individuals or families.
According to our legislation (Organic Code on Children and Adolescents) that states in its Art. 179 and 186 that the process of post-adoption follow-up is two years under the tutelage of the UTA (ADOPTION TECHNICAL UNIT). In the development of this research is unacceptable to find that such a procedure, for lack of economic allocation is carried out without the necessary professional or so-called technical team (Psychologist and Social Worker) and tracked via phone the first four months after this by periodic reports every six months and if necessary proceed with previously scheduled visits which are paid for by the people in charge in this case is the Social Worker.
With the background above and after the time stipulated for the post-adoption monitoring by the Ecuadorian State, it is impossible to know the real future of those children placed for adoption, so that I think that period is insufficient to fully guarantee the exercise of their rights
