Description

Roots Research Center is working with adult adoptees who aim to find their biological parents, and are supporting/consulting adoptive families to work with their adopted children. They also promote foster care, giving speeches around the country to raise public awareness on the benefits of foster care and why community based care is better for children. They have been involved in private foster care cases of children with disabilities, supporting and consulting the foster parents. They run training seminars for social workers and University students promoting foster care and community based care. Other NGOs have showed interest, cooperating with them, in training their people on the DI direction, by supporting vulnerable families.

Justice experts are their supporters on child protection affairs, walking with them slowly on the way to change the residential culture in Greece.
