Study on illegal adoptions 2017, para. 63
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- The linking of development aid to intercountry adoptions is another type of transaction that jeopardizes the transparency of the process and can lead to violations of the rights of the child. Faced with the possibility of obtaining a large sum of money for processing an adoption, many countries of origin make sure that children are available for adoption regardless of the actual need. In Viet Nam, for example, agencies are required to provide humanitarian aid before they can process an adoption. The provision of development aid has the perverse effect of encouraging countries of origin to "procure" children for adoption; in most cases, the aid will not contribute to the delivery of alternative care for children.
