How will the State Department elicit information and cooperation from other countries in implementing the Hague Treaty and the LowerBody of the ICARE Act?
The ICARE calls on the newly appointed Ambassador at Large to work with foreign countries through the appropriate diplomatic channels to establish open and transparent adoption procedures by which information can be shared and children can be placed with waiting families. For the most part, this type of negotiation and interchange is taking place now on a more informal level. The establishment of a dedicated diplomatic representative will allow the U.S. State Department to take a more proactive role in assisting and advising developing countries in establishing a transparent and fraud-free foreign adoption process. The law does not specifically direct the OIA or the foreign government on what procedures must be established or how to establish such cooperation. That is left up to the State Department and the Foreign Governments to decide. It does, however, require that census information and needs assessments be gathered by the State Department and reported to Congress. Similar informat
