Adoptionscentrum is an experienced non-governmental, non-profit, member-based organisation founded in 1969. We work with intercountry adoption, international development cooperation and member services, such as post adoption service. We are currently collaborating with authorities and NGOs in more than 20 countries. Through our international development cooperation projects we target the most vulnerable children – children without parental care or at risk of being abandoned or taken into custody. The goal is to provide a larger number of children with a safe childhood where their basic rights are respected and fulfilled. The projects are implemented in cooperation with local NGOs in Asia, Africa, Latin America and Eastern Europe. We have been one of the leading organisations in developing guidelines and ethical rules for intercountry adoption. Since 1969, approximately 25.000 children from about 60 countries have acquired a new family in Sweden through us.
