Adoption Plans
There were thousands of half-German babies that nobody wanted. The mothers who bore those babies had to give them up against their will and some countries stepped in to help. Sweden was one country that took hundreds of these babies for adoption.
The irony for the families who would adopt these babies, was that they didn’t know where the babies came from. Once again the babies would lose their identities.

Failed Plan
Originally the Norwegian government attempted to have these children deported to other countries like Australia, Germany, and Brazil.
Their plan to get rid of the Lebensborn children in one swift move failed.
