Children's Hope
 International
is pleased to announce that as of December 14,
2007 we received official order #355 from the Ministry of
Education, signed on December 14, 2007. We also received an
Accreditation certificate #31, issued on December 19, 2007
granting us authority to place children for adoption from within
the territory of the Russian Federation. This accreditation will
be non expiring.
More than 1,400 families have adopted in Russia since we started
our program in 2006.
Our Russian adoption program is well-organized and is registered
with full authority to work in Russia. 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.

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)
