I understand that under Hague each accredited Country must have a central authority, I presume the State department is fullfilling this role. The agency fee structure being transparent includes the need to make public their fee structure, in other words they must publish their fee structure.
Hague also states that the adopted child must be granted automatic citizenship, I presume once the 1-600 has been granted prior to adopting that need is fullfilled.
Hague also states that humanitarian aid should be Country to Country, agency fees should not include humanitarian aid. Orphanage contributions should not be sought or demanded from PAP’s while adopting and agency fees should only include the true costs of adopting.
It will be interesting to see who gets accredited, there is a process included in Hague how to unaccredit an agency if they operate unethically.
