摘要

尽管在2016年堵住了一个法律监护漏洞，使外国潜在养父母能够绕过乌干达限制性的收养法，但跨国收养中的腐败现象依然存在，法院将新的最终要求合法化。但美国在2020年发布的制裁令给改革带来了新的希望。通过强调儿童权益倡导者正在采取的反击措施，我建议采取有效的儿童和家庭保护措施，防止收养腐败，并努力为受影响的儿童和家人伸张正义。

Closing New Loopholes: Protecting Children in Uganda’s International Adoption Practices

Despite closing a legal guardianship loophole that enabled foreign prospective adoptive parents to bypass restrictive Ugandan adoption laws in 2016, corruption in intercountry adoption persisted, with the courts legitimating new end-runs around the requirements. But US sanctions issued in 2020 bring new hope for reform. By highlighting what children’s advocates are doing to fight back, I suggest strategies for effective child and family safeguarding practices against adoption corruption as well as efforts to seek justice for affected children and families.
