Adoption Alert: Kazakhstan
May 24, 2010
On May 17, 2010, U.S. Embassy Branch Office Almaty confirmed that the Ministry of Education of Kazakhstan has instructed Kazakhstan’s Embassy in Washington and Consulate General in New York not to accept new intercountry adoption dossiers. The Ministry said the moratorium on new adoption cases will remain in effect until Kazakhstan implements a system that is compliant with the Hague Adoption Convention; Kazakhstan intends to put such a system in place by September 2010. Kazakhstani officials have said the moratorium will not affect adoptions that are already in process.
Kazakhstan Adoption Program Overview
European Adoption Consultants, Inc. (EAC) is a highly respected and experienced
international adoption agency. Since 1996, EAC has helped many children
find loving families. Most of the children were less than three (3) YEARS OLD.
Children adopted from Kazakhstan share an ethnically diverse heritage originating
from Mongolian, Turkish, Persian, and Russian decent. The majority of the
children available are of Asian and Euro-Asian decent.
Many families are attracted to our Kazakhstan adoption program because of the health of the
children. Due to the strong Asian traditional culture of
Kazakhstan, there have been a limited number of adoption concerns related to drug
or alcohol abuse.
After submitting a complete dossier, a family will typically wait four to six
months before traveling to Kazakhstan to bring home their child. EAC's
Foreign Coordinators in Kazakhstan escort families through the adoption process.
They make all in-country travel arrangements for families, including accommodations,
transportation, and translators.
The average length of stay in Kazakhstan varies, as there are two travel options.
Option A Two (2) trips. The first trip is up to 5 weeks, which includes the court hearing. The second trip is 5-7 days (the second trip only requires one parent).
Option B Three (3) trips.
The first trip 16-18 days, the second trip is 5 days, and the third trip is 5-7 days (the third trip only requires one parent).
After completing an adoption, EAC will receive your child’s U.S. exit visa at the U.S.
Embassy in Almaty, Kazakhstan. EAC staff in Almaty will arrange an embassy
appointment and escort adoptive parents to the U.S. Embassy for their embassy
interview.
EAC conducts free educational seminars and workshops throughout the United States. We
recommend that all families interested in adoption attend an EAC seminar to
gather information and meet members of the EAC staff. Families who have adopted
from Kazakhstan may be in attendance to tell their story and answer your questions or serve
as a reference for you.
