Australia is changing its laws to make it easier to adopt children from abroad.
The Hague Convention, an international agreement, oversees inter-country adoption.
But some are concerned that not all countries that Australia has agreements with are signatories, raising fears that relaxing the system might unknowingly support victims of child trafficking.
