When the state adopts (2026)
Documentary
In 2020, Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen announced that more Danish children should be adopted. Since then, the number of adoptions has increased and more experts are now warning against the treatment we are exposing the children to in several of the cases. DR follows a series of adoption cases, where the children move several times and in the worst case can wait for more than three years before they end up with the adoption family. “Denmark is going to give an apology for what is going on,” assesses a psychological expert.
