(It keeps saying "undefined" here at the beginning...I don't know why.)
This isn't what I had planned to publish as my first post, but it has become a very pressing matter. Please pray this is either rejected quickly or takes a very long time to be approved.

On 10th July 2009 the Government of Tanzania published a Bill outlining the proposed new “Law of the Child Act”. The Bill has not yet been approved by Parliament and is not yet law. It is unclear when Parliament will debate this Bill. This proposed law repeals and replaces many statutes related to children including the law of adoption. Salient points of the proposed law are as follows:-

-International adoption will still not be recognized or allowed. (i.e. only residents of Tanzania may adopt)
-Tanzanian citizens who live abroad will be allowed to adopt but are still required to complete the foster care period and will only be granted an interim adoption order
-Single women will no longer be allowed to adopt unless they are Tanzanian citizens
-Adoptive applicants who are non-Tanzanians will be required to reside in Tanzania for a consecutive period of 3 years before they can apply to adopt.
-The foster care period (currently 3 months) will be extended to 6 months
-Non Tanzanians who adopt will be required to give 30 days notice to the Commissioner before leaving Tanzania with their child.
