The proposed Domestic Administrative Adoption and Alternative Child Care Act is now a law after President Duterte signed Republic Act No.11642 last Jan. 6, 2022.

The 43-page law provides for the creation of the NACC, which shall exercise all powers and functions relating to alternative child care including declaring a child legally available for both domestic administrative adoption and inter-country adoption, foster care, kinship care, family-like care, or residential care.

Under Section 5 of RA No.11642, the ICAB is reorganized to a one-stop, quasi-judicial agency on alternative child care known as the NACC. The NACC is attached to the DSWD. The appointees shall be composed of one psychiatrist or psychologist, two lawyers who shall have at least the qualifications of a Regional Trial Court judge, one registered social worker, and two representatives from non-government organizations engaged in child-caring and child-placing activity.
