The aim of this paper is to provide more detailed insight in the challenges and the perspective of international adoption, but also to point to issues related to international adoption and through an analysis of compliance/violation of children's rights in these proceedings to warn about the difficulties and challenges that the child (and other stakeholders) who find themselves in such process encounter. It is the basic right of each child to be rised in the family. Some families, however, contrary to the biological, are created by adoption and international adoption. Although initernational adoption is only used in circumstances where a child can not be cared for in a country of origin, abuses often occur. Especially in times of crisis such as wars and natural disasters when legal controls are weakened, unfavorable situations are exploited by traffickers who take children illegally abroad. Furthermore, the great challenge facing all international adoptees is the formation of identity as a combination of the cultural heritage of the country from which they come from and the country they actually live in, integration of two sets of parents – those biologically and adoptive paretns on the other hand, with all the common challenges that the formation of identity brings with it. In the process of adaptation and identification of internationally adopted children, the most important is the family context, but an important role in these processes can also be played by social workers in view of their knowledge and competences in the form of support, education, counseling and informing both, the adoptive parents as well as adoptees.
