Practice question
A wealthy overseas applicant offers to remove a child immediately under a private agreement, bypassing legal availability, matching and the competent authorities. The applicant says financial capacity and parental consent alone complete intercountry adoption. Which response is correct?
- Private agreement and wealth do not replace the governing legal-availability, assessment and placement safeguards under the NACC framework
- The highest payment automatically creates adoptive filiation
- Consent always authorizes every cross-border transfer
- Matching is merely an optional souvenir
- The child becomes adopted when a plane ticket is purchased
