How will the Inter-Country Adoption Act of 2000 affect adoptions?
The act will require that all agencies register with the federal government before that agency or professional can provide international adoption services in other countries that have ratified the Hague Convention on Inter-Country Adoption. There are some exceptions, but most agencies and professionals will be required to register. Families may be required to submit to a certain period of counseling prior to the placement of a child.
