12) Educate yourself on the International Documents that are applicable to International Adoption:
--"The Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC)"
--"The Convention on the Rights of the Child Optional Protocol (Sale of Children)"
--"Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption"
--Human Rights documents, including the "Protocol to Prevent, Suppress, and Punish Trafficking in Persons, Especially Women and Children, Supplementing the United Nations Convention Against Transnational Organized Crime."
--Educate others in the adoption community and in the general community about what these documents say about human rights and adoption, including the fact that they state a hierarchy of care for children.
--Lobby for laws and enforcement that takes these human rights documents seriously.
