Description

Counselling on all questions regarding adoption.

The services of the adoption placement centre in detail:

  • Counselling for relinquishing parents
  • Counselling for people interested in adopting
  • Counselling and support for adoptive families
  • Advice on adoption enquiries
  • Counselling in the run-up to a step-parent adoption
    Please note: In step-parent adoptions, all parties involved (parents of the child to be adopted, adopting parent, child) must be counselled by the youth welfare office prior to the procedure (§ 9a AdVermiG). The counselling obligation does not apply if the adopting parent was already married to the child's parent at the time of the child's birth and the child was born in Germany.

Detailed information can only be provided in a personal consultation with the responsible colleagues.

People who have previously kept their identity secret in the context of giving birth to a child (baby nest or life gate, confidential birth, anonymous birth or other) can contact us at any time. We will take care of your request without reservation and treat your enquiry confidentially.
