ABBA Specialist Adoptions & Social Services is a child protection organisation, designated and accredited by the Department of Social Development to provide child protection and adoption services across South Africa. With more than 20 years’ experience in adoption work, ABBA’s adoption social workers are all registered as adoption specialists with the South African Council for Social Service Professions — making them one of the country’s most trusted names in adoption.
ABBA is accredited for both national and intercountry adoptions, guiding prospective parents through every stage of the adoption process in South Africa, from screening and preparation to placement. A unique feature of adopting through ABBA is their three-day preparation course, presented in a therapeutic group setting to help parents navigate the unique challenges and rewards of adoptive parenting.
Beyond adoption, ABBA supports young women in crisis pregnancies, works to preserve and strengthen families, and protects vulnerable children — believing every child deserves a safe, loving family. With offices in Pretoria, Johannesburg, Kempton Park and Cape Town, ABBA offers compassionate, professional support to birth mothers, adoptive families and children nationwide.
For individuals and couples exploring family-building beyond fertility treatment, ABBA Adoptions provides an ethical, legally sound pathway to parenthood.
