However, we would be interested in the inclusion of a provision that addresses the issue of what's to be done if the WAAA or a National Adoption Board determines that the adoption may not be in the child's best welfare when the adoption is to take place after the transfer of the child to the receiving state. Provisions for ensuring temporary care by the WAAA (or at least having the WAAA coordinate such an arrangement) may be worthwhile.
Either way, Sciongrad remains very pleased with the draft thus far and we wish the Sanctarian delegation the best of luck."
I would not feel comfortable making such an addition to the proposal. I'm not aware of a situation in intercountry adoptions where the child is transferred before the adoption is finalised. Unless I am misunderstanding your comments. Once the child has been adopted, its welfare is under the purview of the system in the host country, or the child's new country, whatever you want to call it. I wouldn't suggest that WAAA or National Adoption Boards would have a role here.
OOC: I can't tell you how common of an occurrence this is, and so I'm fine if you choose not to incorporate my suggestion, but this is common enough in the real world to be addressed by the Hague Adoption Convention.
ETA: The relevant article is article 21.
