Russia Adoption

This program is: open

The Russia adoption program has remained relatively stable, and is one of the top countries from which Americans choose to adopt. In 2005, U.S. citizens adopted approximately 4,639 children from Russia. Children available for adoption include boys and girls, ages 10 months and older, healthy and with special needs. These children reside in orphanages, and represent a variety of ethnicities such as Asian, Roma, Mediterranean, and Caucasian. When a referral is made, a videotape of the child usually accompanies other documents. Note: In 2005, the Russian government began a review of international adoption procedures and changes are anticipated. This page will be updated as changes are announced.
