Voluntary Limited Accreditation for Adoption Services Act

S 3551 creates a voluntary "limited accreditation" option for adoption service providers in intercountry adoptions. It allows agencies to seek accreditation specifically for three services: background studies on children, home studies for prospective adoptive parents, or post-placement reports - without requiring full accreditation for all services. The bill amends the Intercountry Adoption Act of 2000 to add this option, clarifying that providers may choose this limited path or maintain full accreditation. It explicitly states this is voluntary and does not change existing requirements for providers or the definition of "adoption service." The law takes effect 90 days after enactment.
