About this statute

This Order sets additional conditions for intercountry adoption and its procedure. A person intending to adopt a child in intercountry adoption must meet the listed requirements. A person seeking intercountry adoption of a child with special problems has a preferential right, and the child-protection organ approves whether the adopter meets the requirements. The adoptive family and the adoptive parent have a right to keep adoption-related records confidential. Adoption cannot be used for personal gain, and intending adoptive parents need written approval from the Organ before visiting or entering an orphanage.
