About the Children Available for Adoption | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
All children available for adoption through ECAS are legal orphans who have been released by their federal government abroad for foreign adoption. In order to be adopted internationally these orphans must be registered in the Data Bank in Russia for three months and in the Data Bank in Ukraine for twelve months. Most countries will allow adoptive families to choose the age and gender of the child they wish to adopt. The majority of available infants were abandoned at birth by their mothers. The majority of preschoolers and older children were placed in orphanages as a result of the desperate economic situations in their birth families, as in the country, or as a result of the biological parents’ loss of their parental rights. According to government regulations, children from Russia who are available for adoption are approximately 6 months to 16 years of age. Children from Ukraine who are available for adoption are approximately 12 months to 16 years of age. In both countries these children live in fair conditions in government supervised orphanages. Most of the children from both Russia and Ukraine are Caucasian. The majority of the children from Russia and Ukraine ECAS has placed in the past years were less than 2 years of age. They are in good health, adjusting very well and thriving in their new homes in America. Families adopting from Russia and Ukraine have access to a medical history and evaluation of the child’s current condition along with photos or videos. All children available for adoption from Russia and Ukraine are tested for HIV, Hepatitis B, Tuberculosis, and Syphilis. ECAS will try our best to identify a child who meets prospective adoptive family preferences where allowed by foreign country law. ECAS maintains a Photolisting of children available for referrals from countries where it is permitted by law. Only clients who have already registered with ECAS are permitted access our database by using the Password assigned to them. |
