DOS Issues FAQ on Second DNA

The DOS has issued a FAQ for adoptive parents. I think it makes clear and official many aspects. There are still a few unanswered questions. It does not list the exact document flow ("your attorney must bring X, Y, and Z to the second test" - stuff like that), but hopefully the attorneys and folks handling that stuff know. It doesn't say exactly what a PAP is to do in the event of a mismatch and what happens to the child, though technically and legally this is not DOS's responsibility. And of course, those situations, which may not even occur, may be handled as they happen.

I end with kudos to DOS for (a) issuing something like this for PAPs (b) showing a proactive stance on ensuring ethical adoptions.
