About Katrine Tegisti Broberg

Katrine is 23 years old and a student of history at Aalborg University. She was adopted from Ethiopia at the age of approx. 2½ years old back in 2001. Katrine has visited Ethiopia once after she came to Denmark when she picked up her younger brother in 2007.


Katrine has been on the Adoption & Society Youth board for 3 years, and through this she has gained an interest in the historical and political perspective of adoption. This has, among other things, resulted in her writing and publishing a handbook on adoption. Katrine's areas of interest within adoption are particularly legislation and the historical background for how the field adoption is today.
