Russian children are waiting for parents. Statistics show that EAC is the most experienced agency available to help families today.

The Russia adoption program has remained relatively stable, and is one of the top countries from which Americans choose to adopt. In 2008, U.S. citizens adopted approximately 1,865 children from Russia. Children available for adoption include boys and girls, ages 12 months and older. These children reside in orphanages, and represent a variety of ethnicities such as Asian, Mediterranean, and Caucasian. When a referral is made, photos and occasionally videotape of the child accompany other documents.

Note: In 2005, the Russian government began a review of international adoption procedures and changes have been made resulting in a more stringent approval process that can require rounds of collecting additional paperwork at the request of the courts and officials. EAC dossier experts assist you every step of the way.

European Adoption Consultants, Inc. has received accreditation and licensing from the Russian Federation as well as an unexpiring NGO Registration, allowing us to be one of the select group of adoption agencies worldwide allowed to facilitate adoptions in Russia. Your family may wish to explore an adoption through Russia in more detail and we are willing to help.
