Adoption
Counselling, mediation, support
The decision to adopt a child is a significant step - full of responsibility, but also full of love, hope and new perspectives. As the adoption centre for the city of Hof and the Upper Franconia East region, we will accompany you sensitively, trustingly and competently on this special journey.

We advise on all questions relating to adoption and support
- Expectant parents who are thinking about giving up their child for adoption
- Couples and families who are open to the possibility of an external adoption
- Interested parties who would like to find out about the requirements and the application process without obligation
- Step-parents who intend to adopt their partner's child
- Adoptees who are searching for their own origins
- Families who have adopted a child in the past
- if an adoption is being considered as part of long-term educational support in the form of full-time care
- as part of an adoption with contact abroad in the form of a social report
- the child or the adoptive family
Your enquiry will be treated in strict confidence.
What is important in an adoption?
An adoption is always orientated towards the best interests of the child. Parents are always sought for a child, not children for applicants. The aim is to enable a child whose biological parents decide in favour of adoption to grow up in a family environment.
Adopting parents must be willing to fully and unconditionally accept the individuality of a child.
Only in this way can a child experience the necessary security and care.
