Overview of Hague Training
WORKSHOP:
Implementing the Hague Convention
Overview & Learning Objectives
Adoption placement providers are currently responding to rapid changes taking place in intercountry adoption regulation under the Hague Convention for Intercountry Adoption. All agencies engaged in intercountry adoption placement activities must either comply with standards of practice or cease to continue to engage with other Hague signatory nations such as China. Agency accreditation will require a number of changes in practice that will insure appropriate practices. From an agency perspective, there are a variety of complexities that must be considered. This includes the practices of US agencies and their engagement in sending countries. The workshop will cover practice standards and what to expect when being evaluated for accreditation. In addition, ‘real-life’ issues associated with global adoptions will be discussed, using case examples for critical analysis.
Workshop Objectives for 5 Hours of Training:
By the end of the workshop, participants will:
- Be knowledgeable about the Hague Convention for Intercountry Adoption (HCIA).
- Understand the HCIA in its historical context, drawing upon case examples of global problems in intercountry adoption and child trafficking.
- Be able to identify key areas of HCIA implementation, especially as they relate to agency standards of practice.
- Be able to identify some of the potential problems associated with collaborating with professionals working in sending countries, including responsibilities for supervision.
- Identify ethical issues related to intercountry adoption, including exploration of “willful blindness."
- Understand how the HCIA impacts Americans adopting from Hague signatory countries, including training in preparation for adoption.
- Be able to identify the rights and responsibilities of prospective parents within the Convention.
