Apr 14: We are continuing to work with Burkina Faso officials to start our first family on the road to a successful adoption from their country.  Through our continuing dialogue, Ministry of Social Welfare officials assure us that U.S. families will not be required to meet 2 year residency rules and that all referrals will meet U.S. requirements for orphan status classification.  We have also made a couple updates to the Burkina Faso Adoption Program page to reflect our latest information on requirements and process.

Mar 20:  Unfortunately, at this time the Kazakhstan Consulate has halted the processing of American dossiers for adoption.  We are hopeful that in a few months they will start accepting them again, but do not know for sure.  If you are interested in adopting from Kazakhstan, now would not be a good time to start the process.  We recommend waiting until the Consulate opens up once again.

Feb 19:  Our Hague site visit is complete!  It went well and our evaluators gave us very positive feedback.  Our official report of our site visit from COA should arrive back to us within the next 30 days or so.  Because of having to postpone and reschedule our site visit, we do not believe we will be able to make it on the initial list of accredited agencies.  However, if we have passed our site visit, we hope to be added to the list of Hague accredited agencies soon after the initial list is published.

Feb 18:  The office will be closed today due to our Hague inspection!  Please either email or call and leave a message and we will get back to you tomorrow!  Thank you :)
