| |
| − |
| |
| − | The U.S. Embassy in Nairobi learned that the Kenyan Central Authority, the [[Adoption]] Committee, was disbanded, thereby impacting Kenya's ability to process intercountry adoptions. Processing of adoptions is, and will continue to be, delayed until the publication of the nomination of the new committee members. The Department of State understands that this event has triggered a number of inquiries from U.S. [[adoption]] service providers who want to learn how the disbandment will affect pending cases. The U.S. Embassy in Nairobi continues to press for clarification and will engage with the new committee once it resumes work. The Department will post any updates regarding this situation on [[adoption]].state.gov as we receive information from the Kenyan authorities.
