Following confirmation from a number of HSE Regional Adoption Services that they are ready to receive files from the AAI, the process of transferring files to those areas will commence next week (Monday 17 January 2011). Applicants who have not yet responded to our letter requesting written permission for the transfer of their file are reminded to do so as a matter of urgency.
