Intercountry adoption

Interpedia is authorised by the Finnish Ministry of Social Affairs and Health to deal with intercountry adoptions as an adoption service agency. As an adoption service agency, Interpedia is only authorized to cooperate with an authority or an organisation abroad which has been accepted by the Finnish Adoption Board (section 22 in the Adoption Law).

Interpedia has been accepted as a cooperation contact by the authorities in China, Colombia, Ethiopia, India, Kenya, South Africa and Thailand, countries in which Interpedia cooperates either with the government authority or with an agency authorized by the government.

Through intercountry adoption Interpedia helps to find new families in Finland for children who cannot be placed in adoption in their native country. In the last years Interpedia has been able to provide approx. 70 children per year from the above mentioned countries with loving parents and families in Finland.
