Our Accreditations

RUSSIA PROGRAM UPDATES

Children's Hope received news of eight international adoption agencies, seven based in the U.S. and one in France, receiving their accreditation in Russia on Wednesday, July 4. The Russian Ministry of Education has listed eight additional
accreditations as of July 19. Although Children's Hope was not one of the first accredited, we welcome this information and are excited the accreditation process has finally begun!
As the accreditation process proceeds, we will be notified of the timetable for the next batch of agencies to be accredited. New updates will be released as specific official information is received.
For those new to Children�s Hope or to Russian accreditation, the article �American Attitudes Exposed: Russian Re-accreditation Reveals Delinquent Post-Placement Report Problem� in this month�s issue of Adoption Today (p. 8-9) provides clear and concise information and background on the re-accreditation process currently underway.

�The doctor could not believe how much Aaron had grown at his 18-month checkup. His height has gone from the < 3% to 20% in a few months. He is such a happy little boy and is really amazing. He is now giving kisses�slobber, food and all�but we will take them anyway we can get them,� says Mom Anita Miller. Aaron was adopted from Russia in December 2006.
