Norway maintains international adoptions, implements stricter controls amid ongoing investigations.
Norway won't halt international adoptions despite ongoing investigations into their legality and ethics, opting instead for tighter controls.

This decision contradicts the Norwegian Child Welfare Services' recommendation for a temporary suspension.
