Cradle of Hope - our agency


Friends of Russian and Ukranian Adoptions This website is a wonderful repository of information for families thinking of adopting, in the process, and already completed. I can not tell you how many of our questions have been answered by those out there who have "Been There, Done That", especially on their chat section!


One of the Yahoo! Groups that my wife has provided information to is Moscow_Adopt. They have and/or are gaining information on every orphanage in Moscow. They have photos and personal accounts. Please note: you must be a member of the group to view the information. All memberships to Yahoo! Groups are free and only take a minute or two to complete.


Here is the website from the same folks that run the Yahoo! group listed above. They've got some great photos and a section with individual pages for each orphanage in Moscow City and the region. If you're thinking about adopting from this area, check them out to see if they have something on the specific detsky dom.


The military will reimburse a member upto $2,000 to help repay expenses incurred during the adoption. The following links will assist with that:
DoD Instruction 1341.9 - DoD Adoption Reimbursment Policy
A document pertaining to military adoption reimbursment
DD Form 2675 - I'll load it as soon as I get the link

Found that my site is listed here, so it's only fair that I return the favor. Here is a good site that discusses questions to be asked while in country.
