KAZAKHSTAN PROGRAM UPDATES

The Kazakhstan Ministry of Education along with the Department of Education of Almaty City have decided that the region will be re-opened to international adoption. For over a year, the Almaty region has been closed to Americans adopting from Kazakhstan. Some European agencies were able to proceed with adoptions in that region. Officials closed the region because of too many tardy post-placement reports from American agencies.

Since Children’s Hope was keeping post-placement dates as required, we are expecting to have more families receiving travel dates for that region.

Currently, in two other regions of Kazakhstan, there are four families in the country working on different stages of their Kazakhstan adoption.

At 16 months, Hashim Ayan Sabir brings smiles to his new parents when he in turn smiles big — and he does it often! Whether in the tub or in his chair, he loves to play. This little one was adopted from Kazakhstan and brought into his forever home on February 1, 2007.
