The year 2022 confirmed our growing need for training and support, and this is where our most intense efforts are concentrated. In addition to the 324 people counseled for adoption, 1,082 people received specialized training and 268 people participated in Tzuby’s Kids support groups and camps. It is increasingly obvious that, with the increase in…

Essential changes in Romania’s human rights for children – Positive effects for tens of thousands of children
Following our lobbying efforts aligned with ARFO (Romanian Without Orphans Alliance), the Romanian President issued the Decree to enforce the modifications brought to Law 272/2004 on Children’s Rights and Protection. The modifications contain procedural aspects designed to reduce bureaucracy in the child welfare system and to offer greater chances for abandoned children to experience life in…
Help for Ukraine + services for children and families in Romania
The war in Ukraine has brought many changes in current operations of Romanian NGOs, with an impact on their (at least) short-term goals. However, we were pleasantly surprised by the level of involvement we see in Romania regarding all types of refugee support and we are convinced that you were not indifferent either. Tzuby’s Kids worked with…
From Romania, with love. Here is why we are fighting to re-open international adoptions.
Not more than a week ago, an initiative to modify the adoptions law has been submitted to Parliament for debate. We have been part of the working group for more than a year. One of the most argued proposals is re-opening international adoptions and this is because we do believe in providing all options possible…
We’re getting close to the most important event in the field of adoption in Romania
The Summit organised by the Romania Without Orphan Alliance will be held this year in Bucharest during 23-25 November 2017 at Crystal Palace Ballrooms. Starting from each child’s dream of growing up in a family, the theme of the ARFO 2017 Summit is “I have a dream,” a bold dream that we want to live…

Last year we offered introductory sessions in trauma-informed caregiving to over 350 caregivers, volunteers, adoptive and foster parents. The training sessions have been delivered…
What is most needed by an adoptive parent?
We’ve recently had a camp for foster and adoptive parents in a secluded and picturesque settlement in Arges County. During this camp we were able to go into details concerning the competent care of children with a history of trauma. Participating families shared their experiences and we all left the camp enriched and refreshed. While…
Step by step: our first therapeutic camp for institutionalized children
During 25-29 July 2016, within a kids’ camp organized by Anchor of Hope Romania, we had our first opportunity to implement therapeutic principles for 40 children living in state-owned social apartments. Not less than 29 volunteers applied the TBRI principles. For each volunteer, a maximum of 2 children have been assigned to interact with during…
Caring for Caregivers: A Critical Component of Improving Childhood Wellbeing
Research and common knowledge both suggest that the most influential relationship in a child’s life is with his or her caregiver. A strong caregiver relationship can limit the effects of trauma, increase a child’s confidence and independence, and empower a child to explore life from a safe base. Therefore, caring for caregivers- and coaching them…
It helped me better understand the work I do!
Last week we organized an introductory session of TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Intervention®) to better understand children with a history of trauma and help their healing. What’s special about this session is that it had been especially organised for employees of the social apartments owned by the Child Protection System of District 4, Bucharest. Almost 50…
