Despite closing a legal guardianship loophole that enabled foreign prospective adoptive parents to bypass restrictive Ugandan adoption laws in 2016, corruption in intercountry adoption persisted, with the courts legitimating new end-runs around the requirements. But US sanctions issued in 2020 bring new hope for reform. By highlighting what children’s advocates are doing to fight back, I suggest strategies for effective child and family safeguarding practices against adoption corruption as well as efforts to seek justice for affected children and families.

堵住新漏洞：在乌干达的国际收养实践中保护儿童

尽管在 2016 年关闭了使外国准养父母能够绕过限制性的乌干达收养法的法定监护漏洞，但跨国收养的腐败仍然存在，法院围绕这些要求将新的最终结果合法化。但美国在 2020 年发布的制裁为改革带来了新的希望。通过强调儿童权益倡导者正在采取的反击措施，我提出了有效的儿童和家庭保护措施，防止收养腐败，以及为受影响的儿童和家庭寻求正义的努力。
