Hague Adoption
A Hague adoption is a type of inter-country adoption where a person from one country legally adopts a child from another country. To be a Hague adoption, versus a regular inter-country adoption, both countries – the country the prospective parent is from, and the country the child is from – have to be parties to the Hague Adoption Convention. The Hague Adoption Convention came about in 1993 to establish international safeguards and standards for inter-country adoptions.
