Norway, Denmark Latest European Countries to Move Toward Banning International Adoptions
Norway, Denmark, and Sweden have all moved toward banning international adoptions, primarily due to fraud and corruption. They have commissions and investigations into the adoption process: will th…
Great. Now investigate all of those Hollywood Celebrity adoptions from Africa and Asia.

They probably continually siphon their blood
False title. They haven't banned ALL adoptions or indeed any. They have "moved toward banning international adoptions".
Don't hold your breath.
Sorry, correction; they banned all international adoptions, which basically is majority in Denmark. It is nearly impossible to adopt a Danish child so if you were in the market to adopt there in the past 50 years you would have been offered a African or Korean child.
"So.. we'll take one that's not so desirable. You got a black kid? We'll take a black kid. You got a chink kid? No one likes older kids! You got an 8 year old black chink kid.. we'll take him."
It was only one company, not the country.
Yes the ONLY company/agency in Denmark authorized to facilitate adoptions meaning this affects the entire country. Other countries are following suit. This was not just paperwork issues. Koreans are coming forward that their children were kidnapped and sold to Danes. Others were promised they could keep contact with the adopt parents but never was given their contact info. For a liberal country where people blindly goes against every conspiracy theory I was surprised to find many Danes are LIVID over this. This is corruption and a crimes against children and humanity. That is the true reason this 70 year old agency was shut down and no one currently is able to adopt internationally in Denmark. Too much corruption for even the news to cover up. And Korea is NOT happy so won’t be letting this one slide. They may state it’s “too much paperwork” but seriously it’s been like that for 50 years. So why now the sudden change? Danes are waking up now. African-Danes and Korean-Danes are now questioning whether they were illegally trafficked as children. Adopt parents wondering if they will be found complicit in the crime.
Again, you're incorrect.
It hasn't been shut down yet, they're talking about shutting down themselves.
Second, they aren't the ONLY company doing adoptions, they are the only one doing international adoptions.
If you spend two seconds doing research, you will find out two things.
1 - At the start of 2024 South Korea dramatically changed how international adoptions are processed, they increased the amount of paperwork and fees almost 25X.
2 - Denmark has also dramatically changed how international adoptions work in an effort to push couples adopting native children who need homes but are passed up by couples looking for "healthy" kids. Most danish kids who need adopting have disabilities and health issues.
I get where you are coming from, but let's try at least a little bit to get things correct and at the VERY least use correct headlines. It's dishonest to do otherwise.
and that's not even what happened. A single agency said they'd be "winding down" because the Danish government asked for too many documents.
They have banned them spiritually.

About a decade ago, Russia banned adoptions by U.S. citizens, which was a significant and controversial decision. The ban, enacted in December 2012, was officially titled the Dima Yakovlev Law, named after a Russian child who died after being adopted by an American family. The stated reasons for the ban were concerns over the safety and welfare of Russian children adopted by American parents. There had been several high-profile cases of abuse and neglect, including the tragic death of Dima Yakovlev.
However, many analysts and commentators believed that the adoption ban was also influenced by broader political factors. It was widely seen as a response to the Magnitsky Act, a U.S. law that imposed sanctions on Russian officials suspected of human rights violations. The adoption ban was thus part of a deteriorating diplomatic relationship between Russia and the United States, with Russian children's adoptions becoming a tool in a larger political dispute.
In addition to concerns about the safety and well-being of Russian children adopted by Americans, Russia also cited fears of human trafficking as one of the reasons for the ban on adoptions by U.S. citizens. These concerns were related to allegations that some adopted children were being re-homed informally in the United States, a process that could potentially expose them to exploitation or abuse. This argument was part of a broader narrative emphasizing the need to protect Russian children from various risks purportedly associated with international adoptions. However, critics of the ban argued that these reasons were exaggerated or politically motivated, especially in the context of the strained U.S.-Russia relations at the time.
Yet we also know countless kids are true orphans in need of loving families. Countless couples are now unable to have kids thanks to exponential increases in infertility (even before covid due to tetanus shots and other childhood shots) the system is corrupt and trafficking is a horrific evil! Was just talking about this with a friend who has a friend adopting out of Africa and I'm sending cloth diapers along for the orphans in the orphanage. It's taken 2 years to finalize the adoption because right in the middle evidently the African agency was found to be trafficking kids so they had to start over. How do we fix this??how do we vet families and find families?
"For adoption" they say?
recreational purposes. time to buy stock in woodchipper companies.
edit: I meant that they see children as a recreational item.
Why are there so many of those woodchipper people now days? Wtf happened.
Send the children to their parents! What could be more important that that?
To be fair, a lot of these kids don't have parents. I was adopted in 1951 as an infant from a small town in West Virginia. My birth mother was a single girl who was 13, there was no idea who the father was.
That story is very common in the US, and even more common around the globe.
Tracking down the beasts who are responsible for abducting them, top-to-bottom (shot-callers/financiers to grubby snatchers), and eliminating them forever... comes in second in importance.
This goes all the way back to the 1950s. Many of these children are adult now.
To be fair, the parents likely sold the children.
Very difficult to unravel, considering the best interests of those who remain children.
Very likely that there are some parents who sold their children out of desperation yes. But could it not also be likely that there might be a pool of children that were abducted and sold off to adoption agencies which makes $$$ on helping the childless in wealthier countries? At least that’s what Korea is allegating…
In Sweden there are connections between PM and adoption agency.
As in Maui, where's the outcry from the parents and family members?
Very very nice win.
Adoption is abomination and should be abolished across the world, by force if necessary
Winning, winning, winning
