00:00 The process of hiring in the country has been accelerated to stop the increase of cases of illegal adoption.
00:07 Here is the latest news, Mark Salazar.
00:09 I hope there will be legal adoption.
00:12 The content of the sale of children online is now more aggressive.
00:17 It is allowed and not denied because anyone can join the negotiation and choose from the community chat groups.
00:26 This is a big challenge for the National Authority for Child Care or NACC of DSWD.
00:33 Actually, I am a member of one of the Facebook groups because I want to see what they post there.
00:39 And there are a lot of people posting that they are selling their children.
00:44 Others are not asking for money although they want their children to be adopted.
00:49 And of course, there are also vulnerable individuals who really want to have a child in a faster way.
00:59 Why is illegal adoption so dangerous?
01:02 That child could be kidnapped.
01:04 You don't know where that child was taken and you could be liable for kidnapping if the child is found with you.
01:11 It is also difficult if the child's role is not clean.
01:14 If someone suddenly says, "That's my child. I will take that child." or you ask for money or anything like that, or you will take the child from you.
01:23 For the protection of illegal adoption online, the law has made it faster to adopt.
01:29 In the new administrative adoption, the process does not need to be passed by the court.
01:34 Just approach the NACC, those who want to adopt or want to be adopted.
01:39 If you really can't give your children a good life, the government is here to help them.
01:46 We will learn that when the child is already in the child caring agency or in the foster parents.
01:54 We are the ones who will take care of the children.
01:56 Instead of abandoning the child wherever they are, the unwanted baby will be adopted in child caring agencies
02:05 where there is respect and no judgment.
02:08 For prospective adoptive parents, the application process is also easy.
02:13 Our matching committee has lawyers, doctors, psychologists, NGO representatives, and social workers.
02:20 They are the ones who match the parents with the children.
02:25 Of course, we look at if the parents are capable of meeting the needs of the child.
02:34 So, our matching process is meticulous.
02:39 In the first National Congress of the NACC, Jerry Culiado is one of those who rang the bell of joy.
02:47 Finally, at the age of 34, he got the Certificate of Finality of his adoption.
02:54 In his testimony, Jerry's life story is happy.
02:58 There is no shortage because his adoptive family praised him.
03:02 Now that he is capable, he will also be able to give the blessing he received when he was an unwanted baby.
03:11 I'm talking to my partner if in the future, if we adopt him.
03:18 Because I'm an adopted child. He is open to my suggestion.
03:26 This is the first news. Mark Salazar for GMA Integrated News.
