A US agency has given more information concerning the reorganization of MOWA. From what they understand, abandoned children who are reported to the police will then have their cases sent to MOWA for oversight. The children will now be initially placed into the government-run orphanages before being sent to the various private orphanages. It’s not known how their distribution to the private orphanages will be determined or how long a child will have to remain in the government orphanages before being moved.

This agency is almost certain this reorganization will not affect those who had court dates during the ban or for those who were referred before the ban. They are not sure whether children already in the private orphanages but not referred will be affected by the reorganization or not.

Go here to see where this has been discussed before.

  2. This agency and one other have indicated that from here on out, when a child is found abandoned, they will be sent to a government-run orphanage for an undetermined amount of time. From there, this agency is saying they will be sent to the private orphanages, I'm assuming so they can then be referred and adopted. This post is saying that it's sure all current cases are not affected by these changes, but they are unsure how it will affect unreferred children who are already at the private orphanages (ie, will they be taken to a government orphanage before being able to be referred). Hope that makes sense!
