GVS - International Adoptions and Distance Support

International adoptions

Authorized bodies

Authorized adoption bodies have the task of following the path of the couple who want to start an international adoption. They are bodies called, after agreement with the Commission for International Adoptions, to act as intermediaries with foreign authorities and with the Italian court. They have a central role because they are the ones who guide the couple in the adoption procedures, in the organization of the trip to meet the child in the foreign country and in the management of the whole adoption process.

GVS is authorized to carry out adoptions by the Minister of Foreign Affairs in agreement with the Ministry of Grace and Justice with the Decree of 29 September 1994.
