Best interests of the child,

Best interests of the child, in cases in which a State has jurisdiction to decide whether a particular adoption or adoption-related action is in a child's best interests, shall have the meaning given to it by the law of the State. In all other cases, including any case in which a child is outside the United States at the time the ASP considers the best interests of the child in connection with any decision or action, best interests of the child shall be interpreted in light of the object and purpose of the Convention, the IAA, the UAA, and their implementing regulations.
