In recent years, the adoption of children from Kenya has gained global interest. For many, the adoption process is a journey filled with hope and expectation. Mrs. Schmidt, a German mother from Munich, shares her experience of adopting her son in Kenya: "The day we met our child is a day I will never forget."
To adopt a child in Kenya, one must fulfill these conditions: a valid adoption declaration from Germany and the willingness to provide a lifelong home. According to the Kenyan Orphanage Authority report from 2019, there were over 5,000 abandoned children in Kenya that year, while around 6,000 children were adopted in Germany.
The director of the German Children’s Aid emphasizes the importance of good coordination between Kenyan authorities and the German embassy for an efficient adoption process. Mrs. Schmidt’s journey underscores the significance of each step in the adoption process as a new beginning.
