Turkish Muslim children given to "gay families" in Europe
Turkish Parliamentary Human Rights Watch Committee took a decision to investigate cases of Turkish children given to foreign families in some European countries.
A sub-committee in the Turkish Parliament submitted a report on the problems of Turkish children of Turkish immigrant parents in European countries to the Parliamentary Human Rights Watch Committee.
According to the report, around 9,000 Turkish children were given to families of different culture. Three Turkish children were given to gay families in Europe.
Turkish Parliamentary Human Rights Watch Committee will send different delegations to different European countries to study the problems of Turkish children.

I have a Mormon friend who went to court because she gave her son up for adoption "long story" and was made to believe that her son was gonna be adopted by another Mormon family....when she realized that that was false she went to court and WON THE CASE....this might be a similar situation
It appears to be that the children are carelessly given away for adoption without any research being done on the backgrounds of whom they are going to, and then once they are all grown up their foster folks are being made to look like the most evil beings on earth.Ungrateful much?
I think the issue is that these r 9000 otherwise Muslim, Turkish, kids who will basically be raised as non-Muslims, productive members of other countries.
In Qatar Dhreima (a.k.a Qatar Orphan Foundation) is taking on ALLLLL orphans and raising them as children of the state...offering them food, shelter, clothing, education, health care, mental and financial support and helping them become productive members of the society. This measure helps increase the productive power of the country and provdes manpower where needed. It benefits both ends basically. Having visited the Dhreima facility myself...IT'S TOP NOTCH!!!!
The parliament in Turkey "MIGHT" be looking into a similar solution to prevent "future incidents", but not to interfere with otherwise adopted kids cuz there's nothing they can do about that.
But when you click the link, it's a picture of a Turkish born girl, sent to Europe, being re-united with her mother.
So are we to believe that mothers give up their kids for adoption, and then get upset because they don't like the people who, at great effort and expense, have loved and raised their kids?
hope they dont cook them for thanksgiving
These orphan kids needed a home and loving parents to take care of them and if they get that in other countries then I don't think there is anything wrong with that. In fact I have read that gay people turn out to be really good parents. Once I get married, I do plan to go down to Turkey or some East European country and adopt an orphan. I believe every couple who can afford should adopt, there is nothing more rewarding than to give love to a poor child who does not have a family.
I do not see how Turkey can interfere in the affairs of other soverign countries. Yes they can have an investigation and they can raise the issue with the governments of these countries but that is as far as it goes.
These people left Turkey for some reason and now they are concerned that children of Turkish descent are not being brainwashed in the 'correct' religion. I think it is more important these poor kids go to a home that will care for them.
Why are these kids being given away in the first place. Is it because they are orphans with absolutely no one to act as guardians from among their people? If yes then do the people have the right to decide where they go when they themselves don't want them either? I mean if the people in authority were really concerned should they not then ensure that the kids are not put into such situations to begin with, by say giving them for adoption to families within their communities and/or providing them with their needs?
The article is not very clear, hence my comprehension maybe faulty, but this is what I gathered from it all: That children are being given away overseas for adoption due to obviously no one to take care of them in Turkey, and now the government is disturbed as to where exactly they are sent. Well they need to look after them or pay heed from the start to whom they are giving them up for adoption too, no complications then!
Personally, I don't have a problem with it. The Turkish Parliament has formed an investigative committee over it. It is outraged that Turkish orphans are being handed over to non-Muslims (and in 3 instances homosexual) families. I would call this a complication.
Sorry, but where does the "complication" come in ?
