About Romania
Lifeline has had an adoption program in Romania since 2013 and works very closely with the National Authority for the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, Children, and Adoptions, which is the central authority of adoption in the country of Romania. Lifeline has a positive relationship with the National Authority. The most important qualification to adopt from Romania is that at least one parent must be a Romanian citizen, proven by passport.
The Need
More than 42,000 children are in the social care system in Romania. That is 42,000 children without a permanent family, and 42,000 children in the vicious vulnerability cycle. As challenges in a society arise, the vulnerable become even more vulnerable.
How You Can Help
If you or your spouse have Romanian citizenship, consider applying to adopt. Non-Romanian-citizens can learn more about Lifeline's work and how you can get involved in Romania by clicking the Global Care Initiative below
