- Texas made many changes including allowing adoptees access to their original birth certificates.
- While another TX change stated that no attempt will be made to discover the identity of birth parents after a child has been abandoned.
- 11 children are found locked in cages in an Ohio adoptive home. We are left to ask how many children should be allowed in a home, and why no one found and reported this problem earlier.
- The Ukraine stopped accepting dossiers after 75% of past adoptive parents have failed to submit a post adoptive report. Once the outstanding reports are received more dossiers will be accepted.
