 What is the reunite service? |

Once an adoption process has been completed, there are instances where families from either side loose contact due to different social values, customs, personal values, etc. Obviously for the adoptee, when knowing he/she was adopted may show strong interest to his/her heritage background or hopes to contact his/her biological parents. In such case, he/she can get in touch with Adoption Information Center and request to be reunited with his/her biological parents and vice versa for parents who gave up their child for adoption. They can too, contact Adoption Information Center to arrange a meeting to be reunited with their adopted child.
