This requirement applies solely to International Adoptions. The Convention requires adoptive applicants and household members to provide child abuse/neglect clearances from all states/countries in which they resided since 18 years of age. The Hague Convention is an agreement among Hague-signatory countries that helps safeguard children who are being adopted from other Hague-signatory countries. The Act requires states to “check any child abuse and neglect registry maintained by the State for information on any prospective foster or adoptive parent and on any other adult living in the home of such a prospective parent, and request any other State in which any such prospective parent or other adult has resided in the preceding five years, to enable the State to check any child abuse and neglect registry maintained by such other State for such information, before the prospective foster or adoptive parent may be finally approved for placement of a child” and to comply with any request described (above) that is received from another State. The Adam Walsh Child Protection and Safety Act covers Title IV-E agencies processing applications for adoption and foster care. Provide us a copy of the statute with that portion highlighted. Keep in mind that your statute must contain language similar to “authorized in other states” in order to process a background check. All requests must be electronically submitted with the correct requesting agency contact information.Ī State Law: Please forward us a copy of your state law that affirms that your state is authorized to request background checks/child abuse clearances for a specific purpose from other states.
