An inquiry has proposed that Sweden ban international adoptions and establish a national centre for resources and support for adoptees. The head of the inquiry, Anna Singer, highlighted numerous cases of irregularities, including confirmed incidents of child trafficking spanning decades and the lack of informed consent from biological parents. The inquiry calls for Sweden to ratify relevant UN conventions, publicly apologize for past human rights violations, and provide financial support for adoptees to travel to their countries of origin for reconnection. The proposed center would offer therapy and guidance on legal issues linked to adoption.
"There are confirmed cases of child trafficking in every decade from the 1970s to the 2000s, primarily in private and individual adoptions."
"Children have been declared dead, given up for adoption by someone other than their parents, and in some cases handed over by parents who have not understood the consequences of consenting to international adoption."
