Intercountry Adoption Country Alert: Kazakhstan

Sophia -- Little Miracles | Tuesday, August 04, 2015 | 0 Comments
Adoption Alert – KazakhstanRequest for Post-Adoption Reports by Central Authority of Kazakhstan
 
July 29, 2015
 
The Ministry of Education and Science in Kazakhstan has requested the submission of all outstanding post-adoption reports on Kazakhstani children adopted by U.S. families.  This includes 237 reports that the Ministry has identified as missing. 
We urge families to comply with Kazakhstan's post-adoption requirements as soon as possible.  Timely submission of the reports is a central part of our ongoing efforts to resume intercountry adoptions between the United States and Kazakhstan. 
Kazakhstan requires post-adoption reports detailing the general welfare, education, upbringing, and health of all adopted Kazakhstani children.  In accordance with Kazakhstani family law, adoptive parents must provide post-placement reports every six months for the first three years after the adoption is finalized and then once a year until the child is 18 years old. 
U.S. adoptive parents of children from Kazakhstan should work with one of the U.S. Adoption Service Providers (ASPs) authorized by Kazakhstan to prepare post adoption reports.  They should submit all reports by mail or email to the attention of the Committee for the Protection of Children’s Rights (CPCR), the Kazakhstani Central Authority for the Hague Adoption Convention, at the addresses below:

The importance of connection

Throughout adoption, connection is a big theme.  This includes the research phase of your journey. It is important that you feel comfortable picking up the phone or zipping off an email at any time to your program coordinator, and knowing you'll receive a prompt, honest answer to your questions as you make decisions.  

Our Getting Started teleconference on January 27th, 2015 at 7:30pm CST is a chance to connect with agency staff, adoptive parents who have been through the process, and learn about LMI's programs.

The importance of expectation 

We will hold your hand through each step of your adoption, with regular communication and individual calls.   You'll participate in education tailored to your family helping you prepare: Sibling preparation, meeting your child, older child adoption, travel, transition, and more.  We enjoy an active commitment between our families and our team to join hands  with one another and we are joyful with the understanding that there is light at the end of the tunnel!





We're Home!!
The importance of family

This means three things to us:

1.  Your family finding the right program (country) fit.
2.  Your family with your new child having tools to be successful.
3.  Your ability to experience LMI family mentors along the way - families who have adopted and can help you along your journey.

Our philosophy is one of involving the whole family in the adoption process, from start to finish!
