title: Act on rules concerning the acceptance of foreign foster children with a view to adoption, 8 December 1988.
abstract: This Act sets forth conditions that must complied with when foreign foster children are accepted with a view to adoption in the Netherlands.  A "foreign foster child" is defined as "a minor born outside the Netherlands, who does not have Dutch nationality under Dutch law, and who is, or will be, cared for and brought up in the Netherlands with a view to its adoption, in a family other than the parental family, in such circumstance that the foster parents actually take the place of the parents."  The Act does not apply to such fostering not aimed at adoption, which is covered by the directives contained in the 1982 circular on aliens.
