International Adoption: New Accreditation for Child and Home Studies
This new law introduces a voluntary, specialized accreditation for agencies conducting child background studies and home studies in international adoptions. The goal is to increase the number of available accredited service providers, potentially simplifying the adoption process for prospective parents. These changes do not alter general adoption rules but offer an additional option for specialized services.
