The Georgia International Adoption Service Agreement (GI ASA) is an agreement between the State of Georgia, the Georgia Department of Human Services, and an international adoption agency that is licensed to place children for adoption in Georgia. The agreement outlines the responsibilities of the placement agency and provides guidance to the adoptive parents in the international adoption process. The agreement includes the requirements for the international adoption agency to provide necessary services, the legal and ethical responsibilities of the adoptive parents, and the reporting requirements. The GI ASA is divided into two main sections: the General Provisions and the Specific Provisions. The General Provisions include information related to the agency’s license, its standards of practice, and its fees and payment requirements. The Specific Provisions cover the duties of the agency and the adoptive parents, the reporting requirements, and the procedures for contesting an adoption. The GI ASA is divided into four types of agreements: the International Adoption Service Agreement, the International Independent Adoption Service Agreement, the Private Adoption Agreement, and the Adoption Facilitator Agreement. Each type of agreement contains different provisions and requirements.
