A Guide for Prospective Adoptive Parents
The process for adopting a child from a country party to the Hague Adoption Convention differs in some key ways from adopting from a non-Convention country. To date, about 75 countries have joined the Hague Adoption Convention. If you are adopting a child from one of these countries, you will need to understand the Hague process.
This Guide for Parents is intended to provide prospective adoptive parents with an overview of both the treaty and the standards that govern accreditation of adoption service providers. We hope that it will answer questions you might have about the Hague Adoption Convention and its protections.
