Understanding the Risks Sample Clauses

Understanding the Risks. Families understand that all parties are acting in good faith toward a successful adoption but that the outcome of the adoption process cannot be guaranteed. Participants should only enter this process with an understanding and willingness to assume these risks. The Hague Adoption Process calls for participants to accept a certain degree of financial risk in that they will pay non-refundable fees for services in advance of a possible placement and a placement may or may not occur. For a variety of reasons, not the least of which is that there is no guarantee that participants’ efforts will be successful, this process has the potential for significant emotional disappointment on the part of participants because of placements that do not occur, or where the process to bring the child to the US does not occur. Although participants may apply to FRC and sign this agreement prior to completion of their home study, participants must understand that their home study must be approved and accepted by all parties including USCIS and the foreign country governmental authorities as applicable.

Sample 1
Understanding the Risks. Applicants must understand and agree to the following: • Participants are encouraged and advised by FRC to seek and retain their own independent legal counsel to address any questions about adoption and the legal risks related to adoption. Participants are aware that FRC cannot and will not provide legal advice or opinions. • Families understand that all parties are acting in good faith toward a successful adoption but the outcome of the adoption process cannot be guaranteed. Participants should only enter into this process with an understanding and willingness to assume these risks. • The Hague Adoption Process calls for participants to accept a certain degree of financial risk in that they will pay non-refundable fees for services in advance of a possible placement and a placement may or may not occur. If participants agree to provide financial assistance to an identified birth parent as allowed by state law, in cases where birth parents choose not to place their child(ren) for adoption, funds spent in support of the birth parent are not recoverable, even though no placement occurred. As well, participants may, at their discretion, choose to discontinue birth parent support at any time prior to adopting a child, predicated upon proper notice to FRC. • As there is no guarantee that participants’ efforts will be successful, this process has the potential for significant emotional risk on the part of participants as a result of adoptions that do not occur because birth parents may change their mind, or because participants may not be willing to adopt a child after birth due to concerns about race, medical conditions or any other personal reason. Participants should only enter into this process with an understanding and willingness to assume these risks. • FRC cannot and does not guarantee the honesty and integrity of birth parents, nor does FRC act as a guarantor that a birth parent has active medical insurance or public aid that might cover medical expenses. Any time FRC supervises an Adoption Service Provider that executes the taking of final and irrevocable surrenders for purposes of adoption from an identified birth parent with the knowledge and agreement of participants and there is an adoptive placement, the participants may be fully responsible for the birth parent and child's medical bills related to the birth of the child placed for adoption that are not otherwise covered by insurance or public aid.

There are many potential Risks that are not listed here; and C. I understand there are inherent Risks of this Activity, I am experienced enough to understand those Risks whether or not they have been communicated to me, I understand the Risks are significant, and I have had adequate opportunity to seek any information necessary to properly evaluate and prepare for all Risks.
