Closure: What will we have reached by 2015 ?
• By 2015 we will have reached in the geographical zones of interventions of our partners in the South (Kenya, Ethiopia and South Africa) that minimal conditions are met: Children can grow up safely in their own family or in a stable family home (they stay only temporarily in institutional care)
• Children who are placed in inter-country adoption, will only ´go´ there after ethically justified choices and procedures, conform to the Hague Convention.
