Inter-Country Adoption Association (Ireland)

The Inter-Country Adoption Association (Ireland) began life in 1994 as the Romanian Adoption Support Group.

In 1999 our name changed to the Inter-Country Adoption Association as many other countries opened up for adoption and we evolved to meet the needs of people wanting information and support. In 2010 we had a minor change to the title and are now known as the Inter-Country Adoption Association (Ireland).

Our membership is currently approximately 1,000 and continually growing. Monthly meetings are held in Cork (see Diary of Events) where information is shared regarding the inter-country adoption process which initially can seem very daunting.

Our aim is to provide up-to-date information on both pre and post adoption issues and includes information on the following:

· Waiting lists

· Preparation course

· Assessments

· Countries open for adoption

· Process/dossier

· Travel information

· Health issues

· Culture

· Other support groups

· Services information (HSE and others)

· Social Networking.

"The interests of the Children are paramount in all that we do"
