COFA, Organisme Autorisé pour l’Adoption (OAA), puts the child deprived of a family at the heart of its work.

WELCOME

COFA, Organisme Autorisé pour l’Adoption, a French accredited adoption agency with 3 accreditations: in Brazil, Ecuador and Vietnam, assists prospective adoptive parents with their intercountry adoptions, through its offices in Cognac, Lyon and Marseille.

The massive drop in the number of adoptable children, and their changing profile (older, with siblings, or with specific health needs), means that the support of COFA’s members is more necessary than ever for the adoption process and post-adoption follow-up, in compliance with French and foreign legislation.
