Common use of Additional Adoptive Family Acknowledgements and Hold Harmless Statements Clause in Contracts

Additional Adoptive Family Acknowledgements and Hold Harmless Statements. A. We, the Adoptive Family, have selected CCAI as our inter-country adoption agency and understand that the goal of our relationship is to have a legally adoptable Ukrainian child placed with our family. We understand that there are certain risks involved in international adoption and such a placement is not guaranteed. While CCAI will assist us with the entire adoption process, some unpredictable problems and/or events which are beyond CCAI’s control may nevertheless occur. These unpredictable problems and/or events include but are not limited to: sudden changes in the adoption requirements or policies promulgated by the Ukraine or U.S. governments and changes in international relations between Ukraine and the U.S. We acknowledge that ultimate success or failure of the adoption process may depend on factors beyond the control of CCAI and/or the Adoptive Family, and any failure of the adoption process is not necessarily caused by fault or breach of CCAI or the Adoptive Family. B. In addition, a child may be placed with us with physical, mental, behavioral, social and/or emotional problems, minor or major, and/or a history of trauma or physical, emotional and/or sexual abuse, that have remained partially or totally undiagnosed/undisclosed and which were unknown to CCAI. We acknowledge that CCAI is not and cannot be responsible for such conditions or problems. We further acknowledge that CCAI’s inability to provide all child information which may eventually be obtained by the Adoptive Family does not indicate any fault or negligence on the part of CCAI. We release CCAI and hold CCAI harmless from any and all responsibility or liability for any type of injury, harm, damage, or loss in any way relating to or arising out of the physical, psychological, or emotional condition, or medical, psychological, historical, or other records, data, or information of any child assigned to, placed with, or adopted by us, regardless of when such injury, harm, damage, or loss is known or discovered. C. We further understand that CCAI does not and cannot guarantee or verify, and makes no warranty or representation, express or implied, concerning the accuracy and completeness of the information contained in a child’s adoption file, as this information is compiled and provided by the Regional Children’s Services legally placing the child for adoption. Translation of foreign-language documents may be inaccurate. We acknowledge that it is possible that the Regional Children’s Services may not be aware of medical, developmental, or behavioral issues of a child; may overlook or fail to note signs or symptoms or to provide a child’s relevant history; may unknowingly or carelessly provide erroneous information; may not be able to provide information or observations about medical, developmental, or behavioral issues that become apparent only after the child’s placement with the Adoptive Family; and/or may not be aware of aspects of a child’s history that have not been disclosed prior to placement (and may be disclosed by the child only after placement). We understand that CCAI has no authority or permission to conduct direct or indirect independent Regional Children’s Services investigation or information verification. We therefore agree to hold harmless and release CCAI from all liability relating to the accuracy or completeness of our child’s adoption file. D. We understand that CCAI’s listing of any cooperating agency or vendor does not constitute an endorsement by CCAI of that agency or any warranty by CCAI of such agency’s services. We further understand other governmental and/or private agencies’ service quality and refund policy is out of CCAI’s control, and we will not hold CCAI accountable should we have any complaint against those agencies. Those agencies include, but are not limited to, IAAME, USCIS, Secretary of State, State Departments, Ukraine and American Consulates/Embassies, hospitals, doctors, and local Ukraine authorities, travel agencies, and Regional Children’s Services and the NATSOCSERV, etc. We further understand that the fees charged by such entities are out of CCAI control, and we will not hold CCAI liable for such cost or refund.
