Frequently Asked Questions | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
What makes ECAS the best choice for adoption in Eastern Europe? The fact that our director is a native of Russia means that she brings to the international adoption experience valuable personal insight and unique cultural understanding, enabling us to offer our clients the most efficient, resourceful services available anywhere. Due to our high worker-to-client ratio, our families can rest in the fact that they are in a position of priority and will receive continual care, from initial contact to post-adoption support. As adoptive parents travel to Eastern Europe for adoption, they are also offered the bonus of guided opportunities to appreciate the countries' culture during their travels. Our mission is to assist and support adoptive families every step of the way along their adoption journey. Reliable personnel and individual attention to each client have contributed to our continued success. At European Children Adoption Services you're not a number in a file; you're a member of a family. Who can adopt? Couples from 25 years
old and upward are allowed to adopt infants from most regions in
Russia. In some Russian regions single women are allowed to adopt
only preschool age children. What is the average waiting period? ECAS has a reputation for sensitivity to our clients and an unusually short waiting period. Our clients have typically been able to bring their children home 3-8 months after concluding their Home Study. We have a team of very efficient caseworkers who complete the home study process with you at a pace consistent with your desires, your schedule, and government requirements. We believe that ECAS is unsurpassed in quality, individualized service and effective time frames. Let ECAS help to bring children into your life soon. What about traveling for adoption? Traveling to your child's
country is part of the excitement of international adoption. Your
American government and your child's government both have specific
requirements with regard to international adoption. In all cases,
both parents must travel to attend adoption court hearings, and
will be provided with translators. Two short trips are required
for adoption from both Russia and Ukraine: one for selection of
a child, and the other for finalization of the adoption in the foreign
court. One parent may return earlier than the other, if necessitated
by your schedule. For details, see Adoption from Russia and Adoption
from Ukraine.
