Children's minister halts all adoption from Nigeria with immediate effect following arrests of pregnant women in Lagos

Denmark has suspended adoptions from Nigeria less than a month after Lagos police arrested eight people at a suspected baby factory.

"I have decided to suspend all adoption from Nigeria with immediate effect," Denmark's minister for children tweeted. "We must do everything we can to protect the children and to give the families peace of mind," he said in a separate statement.

The minister, Manu Sareen, said he had taken the decision after the Danish regulator, the National Social Appeals Board, said it was "no longer justifiable to adopt children from the country".

The board said it was difficult to ensure a lawful and ethical adoption process from Nigeria, but added that couples who had been matched with a child would not be affected by the ban. Further information was required from the organisation that helps Danish couples adopt from Nigeria, AC International Child Support, before making a permanent decision, it added.

Adoptions from Nigeria suspended (29/04/2014)

Social Affairs Manu Sareen has decided to suspend adoptions from Nigeria with immediate effect.

Based on a recommendation of the Appeals Board Family Chamber of Social Affairs Manu Sareen today decided that adoption dissemination of children from Nigeria suspended. The Appeals Board, which oversees the area and tracks the performance of individual countries. Agency's assessment of recent developments in the area of ??adoption in Nigeria means that it is no longer considered to be justifiable to adopt children from the country. Specifically, it is estimated that the development is going the wrong way when it comes to corruption, forgery and Nigerian authorities' control over the adoption process. It increases the risk of false information about the children and thus also the risk that the children are not actually released for adoption.

"We must do everything we can to protect children and to give families peace of mind. When the Appeals Board determines that it is necessary to suspend adoptions from Nigeria, then I as minister take the consequences. It is important that we continuously evaluate the situation in the countries we work with. We must ensure that adoptions done in an ethical, legal and professional manner, "said Social Affairs Minister Manu Sareen.

Appeals Board has long had a special focus on reviewing the specific adoption cases from Nigeria. Like the Appeals Board has regularly been in contact with other players in the field to monitor developments in Nigeria. Appeals Board has indicated that it currently does not have information that gives reason to doubt the validity of the adoptions that have already been implemented in Denmark.
