Russian adoption agencies
To begin, couples should search for a reputable adoption agency to assist in the process. It is imperative adoptive parents fully investigate any prospective organization or facilitator. If planning to work with a U.S.-based agency, they should contact the Better Business Bureau and/or licensing office where it is located or licensed.
Adoptive parents must use an agency accredited by the Russian government. The U.S. Embassy discourages intercountry adoptions conducted independently without the assistance of an approved organization. An authorized listing is available at the U.S. Embassy’s adoptions page, and on the Embassy of the Russian Federation in Washington, D.C. website.
