Russian Adoption - Anna Francis

The number of people in the UK looking to adopt from Russia is growing rapidly, but there has been no single reference until now that explains how to go about the process and what lies ahead. Based on the personal experience of an adoption from Ekaterinburg in 2010, this guide provides a step-by-step explanation of the entire Russian adoption process, from obtaining approval to adopt in the UK to bringing a child home from Russia. The practical advice on such subjects as choosing a Russian facilitator, collecting paperwork for Russian court, and assessing the health of a child will help adopters avoid pitfalls and overcome hurdles that can cause stressful delays. Adopters need patience and determination to realise their dream of bringing a child into their hearts and homes. This guide has been written to help their journey toward realising that dream that much easier.
