HISTORY
Centro de Adopción Chiquitines was founded in March of 1978 by a group of citizens who wanted to offer assistance to abandoned children.  Chiquitines is a private, non-profit organization.    Chiquitines has a license from Instituto Colombiano de Bienestar Familiar (ICBF) to operate as a private adoption house.

We offer assistance to children under the government protection program, and since 1978 have been able to place more than 2800 legally abandoned children with adoptive families in Colombia and internationally.
