Hope for children: Adoptions from Romania

11 October 2025

It is with great joy and gratitude that we announce that HELP a child eV has received official approval from Germany to broker international adoptions from Romania. This is a moving and important step for us – but especially for the children, to whom we hope to give new prospects and a loving home.

Our application is currently being reviewed by the Romanian authorities in Bucharest. We very much hope to be able to accompany the first family on this special journey starting in January 2026.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who supports us and walks this path with us.
