Intercountry adoption policies

Intercountry adoption policies are regulations and guidelines that govern the adoption of children across national borders. These policies aim to ensure the child's welfare, protect against human trafficking, and promote ethical practices. They involve a complex process of legal requirements, including home studies, legal approvals, and compliance with both the adopting country's and the child's country’s laws. The Hague Convention is a key international treaty that establishes standards for intercountry adoptions. Ultimately, these policies strive to create a safe, secure, and supportive environment for adopted children and their new families.
