Regarding adoptions from this foreign country:
Adoption in Moldova can be a complicated process, sometimes involving long waits. Moldovan adoption law gives preference to Moldovan citizens and citizens of countries that have implemented the 1993 Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption. The United States intends to ratify and implement the Convention in 2007.
The Government of Moldova temporarily suspended intercountry adoptions for most of 2005 as the new National Committee for Adoptions (NCA) reaccredited all active adoption agencies operating in Moldova. In early 2006, the NCA allowed reaccredited adoption agencies to process cases and several families completed their adoptions. However, Moldova has not passed a comprehensive adoption law and, on June 27, 2006, the Moldova Constitutional Court ruled that the creation and existence of the NCA were unconstitutional.
Moldova is currently allowing adoptions by US citizens on a limited basis. The Moldova National Committee for Adoption has just begun issuing accreditations to adoption agencies and it is not clear when adoptions will begin to be processed again. Prospective adoptive parents are required to use an accredited adoption agency when adopting in Moldova. There are several; U.S.-based adoption agencies accredited by the National Committee for Adoption. Individuals wishing to adopt should use accredited adoption agencies and should be aware that there may be delays in processing adoption cases.
