Post Adoption Service (PAS) in English

Research shows that counseling in an early stage after adoption is useful for many families.

It is highly usual that the families with adoptive children experience challenges in their everyday life or can become uncertain regarding the attachment process.

Post Adoption Service (PAS) is an international term for describing the various types of guidance, support and counseling before and after the adoption. We serve both the adoption families and the adoptees. Denmark is obligated to support this service through The Hague Convention.

The National Board of Appeals adoption secretary (Ankestyrelsens Adoptionssekretariat) administrates and develop PAS in Denmark. In PAS, we offer our services in both national and international adoptions.

For the adoption family we offer:

  • Mandatory PAS-counseling when bringing home a child

  • Adoptive parent groups
