The operating arrangement includes eligibility standards for prospective adoptive parents and prospective adoptive children in accordance with Irish and U.S. Convention procedures. In order to ensure that Ireland will be able to issue an Article 17 letter, adoption service providers should comply with the provisions listed here.

The Department of State will host a conference call with the Adoption Authority of Ireland and interested U.S. accredited adoption service providers who are accredited to provide outgoing adoptions service from the U.S. on June 20 2013 to address any questions and facilitate guidance on the arrangement. The Department of State will provide further details on the conference call in the near future.
