Guyana Becomes Party to Hague Adoption Convention

The Department of State (DOS) noted that Guyana has deposited its instrument of accession to the Hague Adoption Convention [PDF version]. The Hague Convention will enter into force in Guyana on June 1, 2019. This makes Guyana the 100th country to become a party to the Hague Adoption Convention. The DOS is working on determining whether the United States will be able to process Hague Convention adoptions with Guyana under U.S. law.
