RUSSIAN ADOPTION
       
Russia adoption



 

 

Children’s Hope International is in the process of registering with the Ministry of Justice for our
non-expiring accreditation.  This process is currently being undertaken by all adoption agencies working in Russia. 

As of May, 2006, the Russian government decided to implement a non-expiring accreditation for agencies working in Russia.  To complete this process, the first step is to register with the Ministry of Justice.  This must be completed by November by all agencies in order to continue their work in Russia.  

 We completed 130 adoptions by the end of June and continue to have families traveling for their first trips and court dates during this accreditation process.  Applications are received daily. 






 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 More than 1000 families have adopted in 
Russia since we started our program.

Our Russian adoption program is well-organized and is registered with full authority to work in this country. It's overseen by trained and caring representatives in nine regions. They are dedicated to assisting families during their adoption process.

We make it our goal to be well informed and in touch, with a view of giving very personal care to families in preparation, in travel and in successfully finalizing their Russian adoption. We have worked and traveled widely in Russia establishing relationships and working out all the adoption details with officials in the central and regional governments as well as with orphanage directors.

We have a Russian adoption office with a National Coordinator and Travel Coordinator and staff in Moscow with full-time representatives in different regions throughout Russia.  CHI gives special attention to Russian adoption and we recommend you contact CHI families regarding their experience with CHI.

"We used CHI, not because we thought everything would be perfect, but because we knew everything would be handled"   Second-time family.

What Happens Then?
 

 
CHI will look over your dossier to make sure everything is correct. We add several documents to each dossier from our office that are required by the Russian Government and then send your Dossier to our office in Russia.
Our representative will register your dossier with the Regional Ministry of Education who will begin the process of identifying a child as closely as possible according to your request as to age and gender that was presented on your Petition to Adopt.
When a child is identified, the family will be invited for their first travel to meet the child and receive all information about the child which has been chosen for them. It is no longer possible to send information about the child, including pictures, video and medicals to the family prior to their first trip.  After accepting the child, you will return to the United States to wait for your return to Russia for a Court Hearing which will finalize the adoption.
A Court Date will be set and you will travel to Russia to get your child. All arrangements can be made by CHI for your convenience.
You will be met in Russia by your CHI representative who will guide you through the finalization of the adoption process in the region.
You will fly to Moscow to be met by our Moscow representative who will assist you in getting a medical exam of your child and going through the immigration interview in the American Embassy.
You will fly home !  CHI will be here to serve you as long as you need us.
We will continue to work with you through the post-placement process. Russia requires 4 Post Placement visits. (6 months after court, 1 year after, 2 years after and 3 years after)
