In a written statement from the Ministry, “Our children, whose families and relatives could not be reached due to the earthquake, are taken into the care of the institution and all their needs are met. Our provincial directorates continue to work uninterruptedly to reach the biological families and relatives of our children who have been affected by the earthquake. Therefore, it is not possible to adopt our children who were affected by the earthquake at this stage. The news about his adoption does not reflect the truth,” it said.
