From the USA prospective family of a waiting child in Russia. Russian captions in "CC" по-русски  Субтитры  --> "CC" Sending You a Little Christmas Til You Come Home "We made this video to show how much we love and care about the children we had to leave behind at the orphanage because of the adoption ban. We want everyone to know that they still do not have families and that we have not stopped fighting for them. Thank you for taking the time to view this video.

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".
