The Seventh Annual Adoption Policy Conference Permanency for Children
This symposium issue features scholarship on the importance of finding permanent parents for children, specifically for those outside of the United States, and how U.S. and international adoption laws and policies can further that goal. The articles address topics such as the right of children to be adopted, the use of criminal law statutes in combating fraud in international adoption, and reflections on international adoption policies and programs. These papers were presented at the Seventh Annual Adoption Policy Conference held at New York Law School on March 5, 2010.
