Hague Convention Information
WARNING: Romania is party to the Hague Adoption Convention. Do not adopt or obtain legal custody of a child in Romania before a U.S. consular officer issues an "Article 5 Letter."
Romania is party to the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption ( Hague Adoption Convention ). Therefore, all adoptions between Romania and the United States must meet the requirements of the Convention; the U.S. implementing legislation, the Intercountry Act of 2000 (IAA); and the IAA implementing regulations.
Romanian law currently prohibits intercountry adoption except by the grandparents, aunts, or uncles of a child. Please visit the Department's Country Specific Information sheets for more information on traveling to Romania and U.S. Embassy Bucharest's Web site for information on consular services.
