Sažetak
Intercountry adoption has recently attracted a lot of attention in Croatia, both in the media and in scientific and professional circles. However, the competent authorities have still not approached the regulation of intercountry adoption in a systematic and planned manner. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to offer some options in further regulation of this very specific type of childcare in Croatia. With this aim, the paper first defines intercountry adoption, explaining its types, then gives an account of the regulation of intercountry adoption in Croatia. After that, various approaches that can be taken regarding intercountry adoption are considered. The paper highlights the additional regulation of this institute, the possibility of restrictions and moratoria of intercountry adoption, increased cooperation with other countries and informing potential adopters while promoting Hague over non-Hague adoptions. In conclusion, the necessity of a thoughtful approach is emphasized, which would require an assessment based on the experiences of practitioners and the knowledge of theoreticians from various legal fields and professions dealing with child protection.
