The Moldovan National Committee for Adoption is now operating. However, no U.S. adoption agency has been accredited to work in Moldova at this time. The National Committee has informed the U.S. Embassy in Chisinau that they hope to accredit U.S. adoption agencies in the near future. However, this process is taking some time and intercountry adoptions appeared to be on unofficial hold in Moldova.

The U.S. Embassy in Chisinau is monitoring this situation closely to obtain answers to the adoption community's important questions and will provide additional information as it becomes available.
