Around the world, many children are growing up without families to love and nurture them. Meanwhile many families are longing for a child, with love to give. For more than 30 years ICANZ (Inter-Country Adoption New Zealand) has worked to bring you together through intercountry adoption.

Adopting a child into your family is one way to bring hope to children who are without a parent's care, living in orphanages overseas.

We've  been around a long time; since 1989. That means we've developed the kind of experience and problem-solving skills that are essential in navigating the complex world of intercountry adoption today. We have helped place over 1,000 orphaned or abandoned children in approved homes throughout New Zealand.  

Adoption is life-long; we continue to help adopted adults and their families long after the adoption is finished. 

If you're not seeking to adopt but would love to help children find families in New Zealand, we'd value your donation to help us with our work.
