What happens when the overseas authority/agency has identified a child?
Information on the child will usually be referred to the DHSSPS. This will contain medical information and some social history on the child. The DHSSPS will refer the information to the adoption agency which, in turn, will forward it to you. Your HSS Trust will also pass the information to its designated paediatrician who will meet with you and your social worker to dicuss the implications of the information.
