Fiom: Vacancy Professional helper Aftercare 16-28 hours

Introduce…

Fiom is the center of expertise in the field of unwanted pregnancy, distance & adoption and related questions. We offer information and help with unwanted pregnancies, information and aftercare in the field of adoption and guide people in their search for biological family in the Netherlands and abroad. We also manage the KID-DNA Database, which enables a match between a donor child and an anonymous donor. The starting point of working at Fiom is the right of self-determination of unwanted pregnant women, the right of a child to know where it comes from and to grow up while retaining its own identity. We do all this with approximately 80 passionate employees from our offices in 's-Hertogenbosch and Houten and from our home workplaces. Soon we will start with the establishment and design of the Expertise Center for Intercountry Adoption. This will be a network organization of stakeholders around the theme of intercountry adoption. In the Center of Expertise, adoptees, adoptive parents, birth relatives and other parties involved can access files, psychosocial assistance, searches and legal support, among other things.
