Hague Compliant Track:
ACONE has identified workshops that focus on content required by Hague regulation 22 CFR 96.48 as Hague-Compliant training. These workshops are signified with (HC). ACONE does not imply, nor should it be assumed, that these training hours will be recognized by all adoption service providers. Each prospective adoptive parent should discuss conference registration plans with his/her placement and home study providers to facilitate registration for training that is compatible with the providers’ requirements.
ACONE loves children BUT childcare is not available on conference day and children will not be allowed in workshop sessions.
To respect the needs of all attendees and presenters, parents with children in tow will be asked to leave classrooms prior to the start of workshop presentations.
