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 environment within the shortest time possible. We further strive towards keeping children in their families and work towards preventing the 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 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 that aim at raising awareness around child abandonment, and unplanned crisis pregnancies. We have also developed a specialized adoption training program which is used nationally to train existing and emerging adoption social workers.
