Dear Mr. Savley:
I am extremely pleased to notify you that the Council on Accreditation (COA) has granted Small World’s application for Hague Accreditation pursuant to the Intercountry Adoption Act of 2000 (IAA). Your achievement of Hague Accreditation demonstrates your commitment to the children and families you serve both here and abroad.
A formal notification letter and a sample press release will be mailed to you within 2-3 weeks specifying the length of your Hague Accreditation and your expiration date, and within 45 business days, you will receive a certificate and a Final Accreditation Report (FAR) that details your ratings of compliance with the standards. As you share this news with your stakeholders, please remember to clearly state that you have achieved Hague Accreditation from COA (COA accredited is a designation reserved for agencies that are voluntarily accredited through COA).
On behalf of COA’s staff and volunteers, congratulations on your achievement!
Sincerely,
Richard Klarberg
President & CEO
