Agencies granted a "Russian Permit for Adoption Activity"

By -

Here are the Agencies granted a "Russian Permit for Adoption Activity" (formerly known as 'accredited'). Due to the fact that Russia no longed uses the term 'accredited', and the confusion between Hague Accredited and Russian Accredited agencies, several of us are switching our terminology to reflect the wording that Russia actually uses now which is "Permit for Adoption Activity". You can read a complete explanation from my friend Jim, here: http://russianadoptionhelp.com/index.php?feed=101 (Hague Accreditation is a separate process - conducted in the home country of the agency (i.e. US, Canada, Italy, etc.) Some of these agencies are Hague accredited, some are not.) I am keeping this list "live" along with Hague status here: http://www.karensadoptionlinks.com/russiaagency.html Agency Name ~ Russian Permit for Adoption Activity (formerly known as 'accredited') USA ABC Adoption Services Inc ~ 28-Jan-08 Adopt-A-Child ~ 19-Jul-07 Ado

Is your adopted child a citizen? Can you prove it? Can your adult child prove it when you are gone? (Adoptees - read this and replace “your child” with “you”). In order to have citizenship on record with each of these agencies, you must have 3 things: a Certificate of Citizenship or Certificate of Naturalization (for USCIS), a US Passport (for DoS), and a proof of citizenship status update at Social Security Administration or using a proof of citizenship document (the CoC/CoN or Passport) simply having a SS number is not enough. Non-US citizens also have SSN in order to work and pay taxes. This could be vitally important to your child in the future, especially if they are ever arrested (and it does happen) even for something very minor. There are many examples for instance see: http://fpif.org/deporting_adult_adoptees/ Deportations of Adoptees began due to amendments to the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) which were contained in the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immi

Post Placement Reports for Russia in 2013 - updated

Many adoptive parents are asking where and how to submit Post Placement Reports (PPR) for their adopted children since  several agencies have closed, and other agencies have indicated they are only keeping the reports, but not translating and submitting the PPR to MOE in Russia. This is not a new issue; there have always been agency closures which have left families to finish their Post Placement Reports without the assistance of an agency. In addition, families adopting from some Former Soviet Union countries submit reports until their children is 18 years old under similar self reporting procedures. In Fall 2006, the following advice was obtained for all families who needed to file their own Post Placement Reports: 1.   Use a Licensed Social Worker to do the Post Placement Report 2.   Translate it with a Certified Russian Translator. 3.   Get the Post Placement Report apostilled. 4.   Include 5 pictures 5.   Sample form is http://www.karensadoptionlinks.co
