Update on Russia Adoption Program
August 17, 2006
The Russia adoption program at Adoption Associates, Inc. is functioning at full capacity. Referrals of children for waiting families are coming in each day, and the waiting time for families is dropping rapidly. Many families are receiving their referrals within days of their dossiers arriving in Russia. The time has never been better for families wanting to adopt from Russia!
As for AAI’s accreditation, we are in an enviable position—our next reaccreditation is not until March 1, 2007. Of the 11 agencies with currently active accreditation, AAI is one of three agencies with accreditation extended that far out. Of all agencies currently accredited or currently unaccredited, the situation could not be better for AAI, but especially for our families.
There have been some important changes for families in the application process. AAI has added more educational training during the home study process, helping families be more effective at parenting. Also, there are new expectations for post adoption reports—contributing to safer, happier, and more loving families.

The time has never been better! The list of unassigned families is short and we have children waiting to be referred.
