Around the world, so many children are growing up without families to love and nurture them. So 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.

We are an accredited not-for-profit, charitable organisation, which specializes in helping orphaned or abandoned children find families in New Zealand.  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. You can also help by supporting the work of ICANZ, or helping support children who remain in orphanages.

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 inter-country adoption today. We're proud to have placed over 1,000 orphaned and abandoned children in approved homes throughout the New Zealand.

We've helped many parents through the adoption maze and can be your partner in adoption as well. 

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