The Adoption of Children from Overseas (Wales) Regulations 2001
These Regulations specify the procedure to be followed by adoption agencies and adoption panels in Wales in relation to the assessment and approval of a person wishing to adopt a child from overseas. The assessment and approval procedures are the same as those set out in the Adoption Agencies Regulations 1983 in relation to a prospective adopter who wishes to adopt a child habitually resident in the British Islands.
