When you have such a special occasion as Christmas approaching, the last support group of the year turns into a very special day: we sang carols, the children prepared presents for the parents, they built sweet cake houses and we thought together for what can we be thankful for this year. Children have drawn their…

Scopul Asociaţiei „Tzuby’s Kids” este ca fiecare copil să beneficieze de o familie fie prin prevenirea avortului şi a abandonului, fie prin sprijinirea reintegrării copiilor în familii biologice, a integrării în familia extinsă, a plasamentului familial, a asistenţei maternale şi a adopţiei.
Acolo unde nu există altă posibilitate de intervenţie, scopul nostru este dezvoltarea durabilă a copiilor instituţionalizaţi, aflaţi în risc sau dificultate, precum şi a tinerilor care ies din sistemul de protecţie sau care sunt în situaţie de risc şi dificultate prin oferirea de suport în vederea recuperării fizice şi psiho-emoţionale, a dezvoltării vocaţionale şi a integrării sociale.
A new series of graduate students from the “Circle of Security” training, part of Tzuby’s Kids Training Academy programs: “I thought it was enough to offer food and shelter to my child”

In this…
It is difficult for us today to celebrate the International Day of Children Rights
It is difficult for us today to celebrate the International Day of Children Rights when children are held in the protection system for 7.5 years (on average) . If one child leaves the system (by reintegration or adoption) in 2-3 years, another has no chance of leaving the system until aging out. It is difficult for us today…

We are celebrating 3 years of Tzuby’s Kids support groups!
3 years ago we started support groups for adoptive and foster parents at Tzuby’s Kids. We shortly realized that we need to work in parallel with the adopted children, so Paul Dîrmon, our psychologist, assessed their symptomatology and prepared therapeutic interventions in parallel with the parent support group. During these 3 years, we had the pleasure…

The Adoption Law in Amendment to the Chamber of Deputies: fines for not declaring adaptability within legal deadlines and opening of international adoptions
International adoptions could be resumed and the course will be simplified. The proposed amendment of the law comes in the context in which 80 percent of the abandoned children are difficult to set up and are not wanted by the Romanian families. On the other hand, those who will take children with disabilities will receive…

Report on the adoption law in Romania and our proposed amendments
There were over 52 000 children registered in the protection system in December last year. For a balanced development, each child has the right to be cared and nourished by a family.
