TLDR : Answer Summary
A community member seeks information on USA adoption regulations, specifically in relation to the Geneva Agreement and international adoption requirements. They mention having consulted the embassy but feel pressed for time. Commenters inquire about the specifics of the adoption, such as whether it involves a connection to a Thai child, and provide references to relevant conventions, including the Hague Convention and the Convention on the Rights of the Child.

It’s Article 21 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and in the 1993 Hague Convention on the Protection of Children and Cooperation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption.

 maybe our situations are not the same -- we currently are not expecting any issues based on feedback from powers to be.

Are you talking about The Hague convention agreement? Are you looking to adopt a Thai child who is the child of your partner? Or a Thai child to whom you don’t yet have a connection?
