The Hague Convention on Inter-country Adoption Part II: Implications
for State Licensing
Presented by Etta
Lappen Davis (MA)
The Hague Convention is raising the bar for many US
providers, and states are beginning to revise their adoption licensing
regulations to be consistent with federal requirements. Current state
regulatory requirements will be explored and states’ regulations will
be compared to Hague standards to identify potential regulatory
revisions to promote consistency with federal regulations in the areas
of ethical practices, complaints, interagency collaboration, home
studies, staffing, post-placement and post-adoption services and
outgoing cases.
