The International Adoption Process
August 3, 2010
What is International (Intercountry) Adoption?
Intercountry adoption is the process by which you:
1. Adopt a child from a different country than your own through permanent legal means; and
2. Bring that child to your home country to live with you permanently.
Through intercountry adoption, the legal transfer of parental rights from birth parent(s) to another parent(s) takes place. Over the last decade, U.S. families have adopted on average approximately 20,000 children from foreign nations each year.
The intercountry adoption process varies depending on the State, adoption agency, and country involved. In every case, prospective adoptive parents must meet the basic requirements of U.S. immigration law and all children adopted through intercountry adoption must obtain a visa from U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and the U.S. Department of State.
The Hague Convention
On April 1, 2008, the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption (Hague Adoption Convention) went into force for the United States. It establishes important standards and safeguards to protect intercountry adoptions. These protections apply to you if you choos to adopt from a country that is also party to the Convention. Your adoption will be known as a Convention adoption. It will be important early on to determine if you wish to pursue a Convention adoption.

Subject: IRA/Pension Rescue Plan
Marobian: We believe that it is important that you are aware of the following information, so you can take immediate corrective action.
Because of both income and estate taxes, without proper planning your Qualified Plan(s)…IRA, 401K, Pension or Profit Sharing Plan, 403B etc…can “shrink” up to 80% of the potential “inheritance” value.
If you qualify, the IRA/Pension Rescue Plan can…
* REDUCE …….Potential Income Taxation by up to 90%
* ELIMINATE…..Potential Estate Tax
* LEVERAGE …”Inheritance” Value, by 400% to 1000%
To qualify, you must be between the ages of 50 and 79, and have at least $350K in your Qualified Plan(s).
If you would like more information, and/or you would like to request at no-cost, a customized IRA/Pension Rescue Analysis…please REPLY to info@specialexecutiveservices.com with…
