Cambodian Assembly debates adoptions
New law will fill legal void on foreign adoptions and help fight child trafficking.

A new draft law, part of which was passed today, will mean tougher regulations for adoptive parents.
THE National Assembly has begun approving a draft law tightening restrictions on the adoption of Cambodian children by foreign parents, responding to fears the previous lack of a regulatory framework allowed for the exploitation and trafficking of children.
“This law is an important part of the Royal Government’s enforcement policy on intercountry adoption and a means of serving children’s interests by finding them good families,” states a declaration appended to the draft law, presented in an Assembly session on Thursday.
Around half of the law’s 58 articles were approved by the parliament with little debate.

First up, this is a really informative article! I’ve got a big question bothering me, I really like the design of your site and tried to download the same layout on my WP blog. Anyhow, there is some kind of strange php error in the footer. Do you have any tips, which version are you using? Please PM me on Twitter @ThaiLivin or via e-mail.
