About this statute
This article states the Convention’s purposes: protect children in intercountry adoption, promote cooperation between Contracting States, prevent child abduction/sale/trafficking, and secure recognition of adoptions made under the Convention. This article says the Convention applies to a child habitually resident in one Contracting State who has been, is being, or is to be moved to another Contracting State for an adoption-related purpose. It covers only adoptions that create a permanent parent-child relationship. The Convention stops applying if the agreements in Article 17(c) were not given before the child turns 18. Intercountry adoption may happen only if the competent authorities of the child’s State of origin make the required checks on adoptability, best interests, and valid consent. An adoption under the Convention may proceed only if the competent authorities of the receiving State have checked the adoptive parents’ suitability, given counselling where needed, and confirmed the child can enter and live there permanently.
