E-mail this story Posted on: Tuesday, February 17, 2004 Senate aims to close Marshall Islands adoption loophole By Vicki Viotti Advertiser Staff Writer Hawai'i is working with the government of the Marshall Islands on ways to close a loophole through which dozens of Marshallese babies are put up for adoption here each year, sometimes without the birth mothers clearly understanding that they probably won't see their children again. Community forum on Marshallese adoption 5 p.m. today State Capitol Auditorium A bill is moving through the state Senate that would ban the adoption of Marshallese children here unless they have the "prior written approval of an appropriate court of the Republic of the Marshall Islands consenting to the adoption." Senate Bill 2607, which last week passed the Senate Human Services Committee, is the Hawai'i counterpart of a larger measure passed last fall by the Marshallese legislature in an effort to rein in what had been unregulated adoptions of children.

P ACIFIC I SLANDS R EPORT Pacific Islands Development Program/East-West Center With Support From Center for Pacific Islands Studies/University of Hawai‘i Analysis ADOPTION IN THE MARSHALL ISLANDS: AN EXPERT’S VIEW In the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI), enforcement of last November's Adoption Law and the formation of the Central Adoption Agency came into effect October 1, making unregulated out-adoptions illegal. It has been four years since the RMI placed a one-year moratorium prohibiting escalating foreign adoptions. In the meantime, birth mothers, with free access to the United States, traveled to Hawaii and the U.S. mainland to process adoptions, and hundreds of out-adoptions occurred. Yokwe Online asked Dr. Julianne M. Walsh Kroeker, author of the groundbreaking 1999 paper, "Adoption And Agency: American Adoptions of Marshallese Children," for her views on the RMI's Central Adoption Agency and on related policies and practices in the Marshalls. Yokwe Online : Do you think that the Central Adoption Agency is the answer to the adoption problem, and why did the RMI decide on this? Dr. Walsh Kroeker:

However, knowledge of the phosphate and mineral beds is limited, and no large-scale attempts have yet been made to access them. It is unknown how large the mineral deposits are. Major Environmental and Conservation Issues The single largest environmental issue facing the Marshall Islands is global warming. The reasons for this are apperant when it is considered that the islands have an average hight above sea level of ~2 meters, and the highest point is on Likiep Atoll, where the altitude is only six meters. The islands have always been extremely vulnerable to waves and storm surges. Serious global warming would result in the evacuation of the island. This would likely destroy the culture of the Marshallese, as well as place a tremendous strrain on the ability of the nearby countries to cope with the environmental refugees.

(photo courtesy of Andrew Garrod) Students and recent grads teach in Marshall Islands In Marshallese - the native language of the Marshall Islands - the word for "teacher" is rikaki. It is used in such sentences as Na ij rikaki eo ami kaal, or, "I'm your new teacher." However, to many of Dartmouth's current students and recent graduates, who for the last four years have been part of Dartmouth's Marshall Islands Program , this word has been imbued with complex meaning and emotion.

Pacific Island Books Marshall Islands Marshall Islands, Republic of For the Good of Mankind: A History of the People of Bikini and their Islands by Jack Niedenthal. Published by Micronitor Publishing. Recommended retail price $12.00. This is a fascinating book and one that should be read by everyone. Jack Niedenthal outlines a brief history of Bikini Atoll and then goes on to discuss the events that made Bikini Atoll famous: a long series of American nuclear weapons tests - 67 in all. Interviews of former inhabitants of Bikini Atoll make for sobering reading. They are now settled on Kili Island some 425 miles south of their original home. An attempt to resettle Bikini in the 1970s failed when high levels of radiation were detected in the new settlers and in 1978 Bikini was evaucated once more. Clean up of these contanimated islands has continued and one, Eneu, was conisdered safe for habitation by 1995. More recently Bikini has been opened up for diving and includes a dive on the USS Saratoga, at 880 feet in length, the largest divable wreck in the world.

Priorities of the People: Hardship in the Marshall Islands What Causes Hardship? The decline in field trips has greatly reduced trade and incomes The major causes of hardship in both urban and rural areas identified during the community consultations and national workshop were Inadequate health and/or education support for children; Poor basic service provision, especially safe drinking water and electricity; Overcrowding and low quality housing on Majuro and Ebeye; Lack of regular and frequent field trips; Limited jobs and ways to earn cash; Low levels of education and not enough training opportunities for youth who wish to return to school; and Causes specific to the outer islands were also cited: the lack of field trips, low price of copra, lack of electricity, and higher costs and lack of supplies compared to Majuro and Ebeye. A price comparison conducted during the assessment revealed that the cost of 17 basic food and household goods on Jeh, Ailinglaplap Atoll was on average 47% higher than on Delap, Majuro Atoll (see figure below for a sample of the price differences). The decline in the frequency and regularity of field trips, which is closely related to the decline in the copra industry, and other ship transport to the outer islands has greatly reduced trade and income opportunities. incomes
