Sweden to Ban International Adoptions: Commission Report Unveils Shocking Findings

Sweden Proposes Ban on International Adoptions Following Commission Report Sweden's Adoption Commission has released a report following a three-year investigation into the country's international adoption practices. The report, delivered to the government on Monday, contains several key recommendations, including a complete ban on future international adoptions. The commission cited significant challenges in guaranteeing ethical and legal compliance in international adoption processes. 'Sweden has struggled to guarantee that things are done correctly,' stated a member of the commission during a press conference. The report also recommends a 15,000 SEK travel allowance for individuals who have adopted children internationally, to facilitate visits to their children's birth countries. Furthermore, the commission urges the Swedish state to issue a formal apology for past human rights violations within the international adoption system. These violations, according to the report, include cases of child trafficking and adoptions without parental consent. The proposed changes represent a significant shift in Sweden's approach to international adoptions, reflecting a growing global concern about ethical issues within the system. The government is now expected to review the commission's recommendations and decide on the next steps.
