Parents-Child-Bridge

Parents-Child-Bridge is a state-approved agency for international adoptions in accordance with § 4 of the German Adoption Placement Act (AdVermiG).  We are authorized to carry out adoption services in cooperation with the countries Taiwan, Thailand, Latvia, the Czech Republic, and Poland.

The association has been registered with the Register Court of Heidelberg since 1998 and has since been recognized as a non-profit association dedicated to child and youth welfare. In July 2000, it was recognized as an independent youth welfare organization, followed in November 2001 by recognition as a state-approved placement agency for intercountry adoptions.Since August 21, 2002, the association has held renewed accreditation under the Hague Convention. Since 2005, it has been a certified member of EurAdopt. 

The adoption service operates on the basis of the provisions of the Hague Convention of May 29, 1993, on the Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption.

The main focus of the organisation is the placement, support and accompaniment of adoptions of abandoned children from abroad. An important aspect is the aftercare and support of adoption applicants, adoptive children as well as adoptive families and families of origin. In addition, the association offers grants for families and social projects at home and abroad, parent coaching, educational counselling and biography work. It also provides support in tracing the biological roots of adopted children.

Since it was founded 25 years ago, the organisation has brought 570 children to Germany, where they have found new families and a happy life. Many of these children are still in contact with the association, which organises regular family meetings, biography groups and youth groups. It is impressive to see how these children develop and what opportunities they have.
