ACONE's Hague training series is designed to provide 10 hours of training in intercountry adoption topics as required by Hague Regulations (22 CFR 96.48). ACONE does not imply, nor should it be assumed, that these training hours will be recognized by all adoption service providers. Please discuss training attendance with your placement and home study providers to ensure that training plans are compatible with providers' requirements.
