- Every overseas applicant always has absolute priority
- NACC must ensure intercountry adoption is not pursued until possible domestic placement has been exhausted under the governing framework
- Domestic adoption is prohibited
- Nationality alone guarantees a particular child's placement
- The adopter may waive every child's safeguard
