Inter-Country Adoption New Zealand (ICANZ)

ICANZ helps New Zealanders become parents to abandoned children in orphanages.

Nationwide

We find families for children in orphanages and help New Zealanders who wish to become parents through adoption. Our adoptive families parent children who've experienced a disadvantaged early life in overseas orphanages, transforming their lives through normal life in NZ.

We've made a difference in the lives of over 1,000 children from orphanages. We currently help children in Thailand, India, Philippines and Lithuania and previously Russia, Ukraine and Romania and other countries.

More about us

We believe children grow best in families, that an orphanage is not the best place for any child. Every child deserves a family. Since 1992, we have helped many New Zealand parents realize their dream of providing a home and family for a child in an overseas orphanage through intercountry adoption.

We work under the ethical guidelines of the Hague Convention on intercountry adoption.
