Adoption 38. The Committee welcomes the accession of the State party to the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Cooperation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption of 1993. However, it remains concerned that adequate monitoring procedures have not been introduced both with respect to domestic and intercountry adoptions. Furthermore, the Committee is concerned at the practice of direct intercountry adoption and the troublesome increase of newborns adopted by foreigners. Finally, it expresses its concern that legislation on adoption is complex. 39. The Committee encourages the State party to: (a) Expedite the revision of legislation on adoption with a view to adopting a comprehensive law on domestic and intercountry adoption and ensure that it is in full compliance with the Convention and other international standards, in particular the Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Cooperation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption of 1993; (b) Ensure that sufficient human and other resources are made available for the effective implementation and monitoring of the legislation; (c) Ensure that cases of intercountry adoption are dealt with in full accordance with the principles and provisions of the Convention, in particular article 21, and the relevant Hague Convention; (d) Explore ways to encourage national adoptions so that intercountry adoptions can be reduced. Periodic review of placement 40. The Committee regrets that a legislative framework applicable to the periodic review of placement has not yet been developed in Georgia.
