Travel to a foreign country may involve additional risks and hardships, including but not limited to, exposure to illness or disease, unsanitary or unsafe food and water, inadequate or non-existent medical and dental services, and political instability.

It is strongly recommended that AP travel with an adult companion, but not bring children or persons with health problems or special needs when traveling overseas. If overseas travel is required of or elected by AP, AP, and any friend or family member who intends to accompany AP, will be required to sign a release from liability at the time of executing the placement agreement, or at such time as AP has informed Xxxx of AP’s decision to travel overseas or participate in a program that requires overseas travel. AP has been provided with a copy of the release AP and accompanying friends and family members will be expected to sign. Failure to sign such a release will result in termination of this agreement and all further adoption services.
