	EurAdopt is an association of adoption organisations in 13 Western European countries. Since the late 1970s a number of European organisations working in the area of intercountry adoptions have met regularly to discuss topics of common concern. In 1991 it was decided to formalize this cooperation, and in 1993 EurAdopt was established. The association presently has member organisations in Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, The Netherlands, Norway, Sweden and United Kingdom. About 650 children receive new homes each year through these organisations. Deneme
