Kenya: Refugee family fights landmark adoption case

A Congolese family uprooted by war went to court on Friday seeking to be reunited with a Kenyan baby they say they found abandoned on the roadside in a case testing the right of refugees to adopt. The case could be a first in global legal history, the family's lawyer and the U.N. refugee agency say. "I believe it would set a precedent. The law is silent on whether refugees can adopt," lawyer Rose Mbanya told Reuters as the case began at Nairobi's High Court.
