Child Protection Services
Abba Adoptions provides child protective services and permanency planning for abandoned and orphaned young children who are at risk and without permanent alternative care.
Who is Abba?
Abba Specialist Adoption & Social Services (Abba) is a non-profit organization founded in 1983. We are a designated child protection organization with adoption accreditation for national and intercountry adoptions. We provide a range of direct services to abandoned, neglected, orphaned and vulnerable children who appear to be in need of permanent alternative family care.
We believe that children should grow up in stable, safe, happy, strong and permanent family settings. We therefore strive to render child
protection services that will ensure that children can be placed in a permanent family environments within the shortest time possible. We
further strive towards keeping children in their families and work towards preventing removal of children.
The alternative care services we render include shorter term placements in temporary alternative care, reunification services, and foster
care and specialist adoption services.
Our adoption services are based on many years of experience and all adoption social workers are registered with a specialty in adoption
social work with the South African Council for Social Service professions.
Abba has a strong national presence in adoption services and services are provided from our Offices in Gauteng, Western Cape, Limpopo
and North West Province.
Our Social Services program further entails promoting ethical adoption practices through research. We also continue to develop and roll
out engagement programs which aims at raising awareness around child abandonment, unplanned crisis pregnancies. We have also developed
a specialized adoption training program which are used nationally to train existing and emerging adoption social workers.
