Bill information
Summary
A bill to modify the Intercountry Adoption Act of 2000 to provide a limited accreditation option for performing certain adoption services.
Plain-language summary
This bill would change the Intercountry Adoption Act of 2000 to create a new optional accreditation option for adoption service providers. The new option would be limited, meaning it covers only certain adoption services rather than full accreditation. Accreditation means official approval that an organization meets government standards. This bill affects adoption agencies and organizations that help with international adoptions. The bill is currently in the early stage after being introduced in Congress.
