04/11/07 - Russian Adoptions Are Still Open!

There have been several reports regarding adverse effects on international adoptions from the country of Russia - possible closures. EAC would like to stress that these confusing reports are simply pointing out the last of the agencies with accreditation have expired. As of today, there are no agencies with a current accreditation completing adoptions in Russia. The April accreditation expiration for these few agencies has no affect on the total overall Russian adoption process.

EAC remains optimistic that we will receive our accreditation shortly. Please feel free to contact your consultant should you have any additional questions.

Independent adoptions are still proceeding as before.


03/06/07 - EAC has submitted its accreditation papers to the Ministry of Education. Once the various ministries complete their review and the documents are returned to the Ministry of Education, accreditations can be issued. We cannot anticipate when our accreditation will be issued but EAC expects that we will be one of the first agencies to become accredited.

9/28/06 - As you may be aware, there are two additional dossier requirements needed to complete your dossier prior to receiving a referral from the Russian Federation. These documents are required to complete your adoption.

Some of you may have already complied with these new requirements. For those who have not, be advised that a copy of your social worker's license and a letter from your home study agency's licensing authority stating the agency is authorized to conduct adoptive home studies and provide post placement services (click here for a sample document).

If your social worker does not have an independent license, a letter on agency letterhead signed by the Agency Director must be included to explain under what authority he/she conducted your home study. Additionally, the letter should state an independant social worker license is not a requirement in your state of residence.
