Documenting and reuniting families affected by adoption scandals across Eastern Europe and the Caucasus region.
Between 1950 and 2010, thousands of families were torn apart by systematic baby trafficking. Newborns were taken from hospitals under false pretenses, with parents told their children had died. These children were then illegally adopted or sold.
Our mission is to bring awareness to this humanitarian crisis, support families in their search for truth, and create a comprehensive database that serves as both a historical record and a tool for reunification.
Verify and document cases of stolen babies across multiple countries with rigorous research.
Provide detailed case files and an interactive map to help families find information.
Facilitate DNA testing and family matching to reunite biological relatives.
Connect families with legal and emotional support resources throughout their journey.
During the latter half of the 20th century, a systematic practice of baby trafficking emerged across Georgia, Cyprus, Greece, and surrounding regions. The full scale is still being uncovered, but evidence suggests thousands of families were affected.
Many adult adoptees are now searching for their biological families, uncovering evidence of widespread falsification of birth and death records.
