The International Adoption Simplification Act legislation passed in the House this week.
Some describe this as a technical correction to some elements of the Hague implementation legislation. Two key changes are:
1. Extend the option to defer overseas immunizations of adoptive children from I-600 to I-800 cases
2. Enable older siblings to be adopted by a family that adopted younger siblings
The option to defer immunizations does NOT extend to TB screenings of adoptees. TB screenings will continue.
The legislation can be viewed here.
A Media Summary of the Legistlation is here.
