Are children adoptable through WACAP legally eligible for adoption and not stolen, sold or improperly relinquished?
Ethical adoptions are at the heart of WACAP’s work. We do everything humanly possible to ensure that our adoptions are legal and the children are legally free for adoption according to the requirements of the Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoptions. We cooperate fully with foreign governments, and work strenuously to obtain all licenses, certificates, approvals and accreditations required to operate in the countries and states from which we place children for adoption. WACAP never works with unlicensed “adoption facilitators” or “independent adoption agents”; instead, we work directly with government officials and licensed professionals and charities. As adoption pioneers in China, Russia and Romania, WACAP worked to help governments develop ethical and safe adoption procedures before we began placing children for adoption. In our 30 years of experience and more than 9,000 adoptions, not one adoption has been found later to be illegal.
