The Hague Adoption Convention A Hague adoption follows the process according to The Hague Adoption Convention. This is an international treaty used to ensure the best interests of the children, birth parents, and adoptive parents who are involved in the international adoption process. The Hague Adoption Convention was only enacted in April of 2008; so, as long as you filed Form I-600A, Application for Advance Processing of Orphan Petition, or Form 1-600, Petition to Classify Orphan as an Immediate Relative, before April 1, 2008, you may continue your process under the current orphan regulations. Otherwise, you must follow the new Hague rules.
