New Limited Accreditation Option for Intercountry Adoption Services.
This law introduces a new, voluntary 'Limited Accreditation' option for agencies involved in intercountry adoptions. The goal is to increase the number of available accredited professionals who can perform specific, crucial tasks, such as home studies for prospective parents or background checks on children. This change aims to provide adopting families with more choices for high-quality, compliant services, potentially streamlining the adoption process.
Key points
Establishes 'Limited Accreditation' for adoption service providers focusing only on specific tasks (e.g., home studies, child background reports, or post-placement monitoring).
Increases the pool of accredited providers, offering more options and potentially streamlining the intercountry adoption process for families.
This limited accreditation is voluntary and does not replace the mandatory comprehensive accreditation for primary adoption providers.
