The story of a Hungarian family adopting a Roma child.

This is uncommon.

Hungary: Removal of Children

Roma Foundation — Thu, 27 Mar 2025 12:56:53 +0000

A chilling article on how Hungary actually removes children from Romnja. Officially, they are “abandoned, but in reality they are not.

Really bad.

Croatia and Adoptions

Roma Foundation — Fri, 30 Dec 2022 07:14:51 +0000

A disturbing article about a centre for adoption in Croatia who is “among the leader of realised adoptions” having placed “18 children of Roma origin” thus giving them “the opportunity for a better and different life”. Follows the rosy story of an adopted girl who now excels at school and will work when she graduates, and of course many stereotypes…

Bad.
