Parents in Jönköping County repented - returned adopted children

9 March 2021

Two parents in Jönköping County adopted a child of preschool age from another country, but after a year and a half with the child, the parents regretted it and wanted to return the adopted child.

The child is now back in his home country, but the Ministry for Foreign Affairs has issued a directive that the child must be taken care of in accordance with the Care of Young People Act.

A social secretary has now written to the Swedish Health and Care Inspectorate for the authority to sort out the question of what should be done and by whom.
