What difference does adopting from a Hague Convention country make?
Where an adoption has been completed under the Hague Convention: • the child will automatically receive British citizenship if you or your partner are a British citizen and both of you are habitually resident in the UK ; • the adoption will be automatically recognised in the UK and other contracting states; • the adoption of a child under the Hague Convention can be registered on the Adopted Children’s Register managed by the Registrar General.
