What is an adoption certificate?
An adoption certificate is a document that a licensed psychologist compiles and signs before an adoption.
The certificate is based on a 45-minute assessment interview in which the prospective parents are present. Depending on the adoption agency and donor country, the requirements for the adoption certificate to move forward in the adoption process vary.
The purpose of the certificate is to supplement information obtained by the adoption agency, to ensure that the parents are mentally healthy/stable, and to examine the parents’ motivation to receive an adopted child.
Colombia and India
In most cases for adoption from Colombia or India, a comprehensive certificate is required which involves a couple of psychological interviews and a personality test which is summarized in a longer certificate. We have several talented psychologists who have carried out these certificates in the past and will be happy to help you.
Should your particular certificate require a different process, please contact us and attach the requirements document and we can most likely resolve it.
How does it work?
1. Make an initial appointment with your investigation team
The first call takes about 2 hours where you meet the team together for the first hour and separately for the second hour (if you are a couple). If you are a single applicant, the first call takes approximately 1-1.5 hours.
2. Tests
It can be a personality test and/or other tests depending on what requirements you have.
3. Feedback from the tests
When the tests are complete, you will be notified of the results.
4. Follow-up calls
If we notice that there is missing information, we will schedule further calls, either with both of you or individually. This can be by phone, video or on site.
5. We write the certificate
The certificate is written and signed by a leg. psychologist. You also get the psychologist’s Certificate of Current Professional Status with you.
6. Done!
The certificate can be picked up on site or mailed to you.
What does it cost?
The entire process costs SEK 20,000. Then everything is included, including the possibility of extra calls or follow-up data collection.
How long will it take?
It depends a little on how available you are for interviews, personality tests and what comes out during the conversation. But by default the certificate is usually ready 3-4 weeks after the first call.
