Adoptionscentrum

Adoptionscentrum is a Swedish organization that facilitates international adoptions. It was founded in 1971 and is accredited by the Swedish National Board of Health and Welfare. The organization works with adoption agencies in various countries to help Swedish families adopt children from abroad. Adoptionscentrum's mission is to ensure that children who cannot be cared for in their birth country find permanent and loving homes, and to support prospective adoptive parents throughout the adoption process.

The process of international adoption through Adoptionscentrum involves several stages, including an application, home study, matching with a child, and finalization of the adoption in both the child's country of origin and Sweden. The organization provides guidance and support at each step, including pre-adoption education, counseling, and post-adoption services. Adoptionscentrum emphasizes the importance of child welfare and ethical adoption practices, adhering to international conventions such as the Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption. They work with countries that have established child protection systems and ensure that adoptions are conducted in the best interests of the child. Adoptionscentrum also engages in advocacy and information sharing to promote understanding and support for intercountry adoption.
