Adoption permission administration guidelines

In its guidelines, the Adoption Board highlights points that have emerged in the permission process and that should be given particular attention. The guidelines are updated as necessary and should thus be reviewed regularly.

General steering of adoption counselling falls within the purview of the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health. The Ministry of Social Affairs and Health has published a guide for adoption counselling service providers, which should be used in preparing homestudy reports. This guide can be found at the bottom of this page.
