Written Answers. - Foreign Adoptions.
During my recent visit to China I was informed by the Chinese authorities that they wished to process all future adoptions on a "State to State" basis only. Irish couples wishing to adopt from China must transmit their papers via the Irish Adoption Board which has been transmitting papers to China since September, 1996.
