On June 19, 2020, the Intercountry Adoption Accreditation and Maintenance Entity (IAAME) announced that it lifted the temporary suspension of International Adoption Net (IAN). IAN completed the corrective action plan to IAAME’s satisfaction, and IAAME has determined that IAN is now in substantial compliance with applicable U.S. accreditation standards. Effective June 19, 2020, IAN may resume providing adoption services in connection with intercountry adoptions cases.
