2007 International Adoptions

The New York Times has a piece up on the United States finally ratifying the Hague Convention on International Adoption. The result should be more regulation and less corruption, though the short-term affect may be longer waits to adopt. The regulations of the convention will be in effect after April 2008, though of course we are already seeing the effects with the new US regulations that have delayed our own adoption process. I thought the graph was very interesting.
