Who can experts in the field or foreign government officials contact if they have questions about intercountry adoptions?
The Consular Section of the U.S. Embassy should be the first point of contact. Many questions can be answered by consular officers overseas, who have designated responsibilities as part of the USCA. These officers can facilitate discussions of more complex questions or questions of a broad policy nature with the Office of Children’s Issues in the Bureau of Consular Affairs. The Bureau of Consular Affairs’ Office of Children’s Issues welcomes opportunities to participate in exchanges with officials from other governments and with representatives of other countries’ Central Authorities, through e-mail, conference calls, video teleconferences, and direct discussions with officials in their home countries. What is the bottom line? The Hague Adoption Convention is good for children. Accession to the Hague Convention on Adoptions can improve a nation’s ability to ensure intercountry adoptions are legal, safe, and beneficial for children by allowing openness, transparency and oversight.
