Parents who adopted children want Uganda's government to fix problems with national identity cards. The current system makes it nearly impossible for kids without known birth parents to obtain official documents. Children from orphanages face major barriers when they turn 18 and try to apply for identification. The forms demand information about biological mothers and fathers that these young people simply cannot provide. This leaves thousands of Ugandans unable to participate fully as citizens.
Andrew Rugasira leads a group called the Adoptive Parents Initiative that fights for these kids. He says the paperwork assumes everyone has traceable biological families. When orphaned children cannot name their birth parents, officials reject...
