Any recommendations for an adoption agency in the USA that specializes in Russian adoption?

Question

I know this question has been asked before, but I would like some fresh opinions. PLEASE don't answer if you are going to say "Adopt from the USA, not Russia." because that is NOT an answer to my question.

With that said, can anyone give me some reccomendations on a good agency to work with that specializes in Russian adoptions?

I really liked the Bless This Child website, but they never answered my email inquery.

Thank you!

Answer 1

Russia just barred three adoption agencies from working in their country, due to the recent deaths of Russian children adopted by American families.

Be sure to do your homework on whichever agency you choose, it sounds like Russia will be getting a little bit harder to adopt from.

I hope you have done plenty of research on the issues adopted children will face, and are fully prepared to take on a child who may suffer from RAD, PTSD, etc.  It is no easy task.

Answer 2

I know that there are 2 russian adopted childern at our learning center where I work. For the family's safety, I will not give them out, but if I get to talk with them in the coming days I will let you know! :0) God Bless.

Answer 3

I have a  adopted son from Russia and wished  had gone with

All God's Children, www.allgodschildren.com The agency We went with had made a lost of documents mistakes that cost nearly six extra mos getting our son.

Answer 4

I found an agency based in CA that specializes in placing Russian adoptees.  

May God bless you in your endeavors.

Answer 5

I would suggest moving there for at least a few months so you will really know if the agency's legit or not.

All are good at supplying children so if you want to gamble on whether or not the child is a real orphan than follow b/s agency's here in the states out to make a profit and are not really into the business for the best interest of the children.

There was a s*x trafficking ring that was just busted in England and Russian girls are claiming that they had children that were taken from them and sold(put up for adoption). The slime bag guys that kidnapped these girls, told them they would help them find work so they could care for their babies. These girls had there babies kidnapped and the girls were injected with heroin, repeatedly raped and beaten so they would comply with the pimps.  

Be careful.

WACAP is a really good agency, and they do have a Russia program.
