Regulator launches survey to improve adoption standards

The independent body is now looking for feedback from adoptees in Ireland, as well as birth parents and adoptive parents, on the work they do as part of a new strategic plan.

The Adoption Authority of Ireland (AAI) has launched its first ever survey appealing for feedback from adoptees, parents, and adoptive parents.

The AAI is the statutory regulatory authority and its aim is to improve the standards in both domestic and international adoptions. Domestic and intercountry adoptions into Ireland are only approved by the AAI or the courts.
