The High Court is set to evaluate the grievance of a German family concerning the denial of their request to adopt a girl from the Primorsky region.
Hey there! Let's talk about the Beysenov family, a Russian-speaking couple residing in Germany since 2002. The family, consisting of Yulia, a proud German citizen, and her husband, are on a mission to adopt Elly, a young girl with a severe hand malformation, currently residing in an orphanage.
Recently, their application to adopt Elly was denied by the Primorye Regional Court with an unusual reason—the legality of same-sex partnerships in Germany. This decision left the Beysenovs baffled, and they immediately appealed to the Russian Supreme Court. The court will hear their case on Monday, but the family is cautious about the outcome, given that Russian legal practices don't often adhere to decisions made by the European Court of Human Rights.
If they lose their appeal, the Beysenovs still have the option to take their case to the European Court of Human Rights. However, they realize that the process might be long and arduous, with uncertain results.
Meanwhile, the couple is gathering support through a petition, urging Pavel Astakhov and Vladimir Putin to reconsider their decision. You can add your signature to the petition by visiting the website удочерение-эли.рф.
Their desperate plea echoes a backward equation: Elly, who has no chance of recovery in Russia, could find hope in Germany, where a specialized clinic is ready to help. But the Beysenovs might just be one more roadblock away from their dream of a family. Let's hope for a more positive outcome and a brighter future for Elly. #AdoptElly #IStandWithBeysenovFamily.
The Beysenovs' battle for adopting Elly has extended to politics, as they plan to appeal their case at the Russian Supreme Court and the European Court of Human Rights, should they lose. Their efforts have also sparked a general-news topic, with a petition urging Pavel Astakhov and Vladimir Putin to reconsider the denial of their adoption application.
