Prospective adoptive parent(s) who file Form I-600A or Form I-600 prior to April 1, 2008, may continue to process their adoptions under the current orphan regulations, if the laws of the country of the child’s origin allow for continuation under the orphan regulations.   Note that some countries may require processing under Hague Adoption Convention rules regardless of when processing with USCIS was initiated.   In such cases, the adoption needs to be processed under the new Hague Adoption Convention procedures.
