Waiting Children: Hye In Is Home!

225 Reads

I had the great pleasure and privilege to escort this very special little girl to the United States and place her in the arms of her new Mommy and Daddy. During the months FAC was seeking a family for Hye In, and then waiting for all of the steps of the adoption process to be completed, many people inquired about her. We appreciate the great concern that was expressed for this little girl and thank all of you for your interest and good wishes. FAC would like to specifically express our gratitude to the Prader-Willi Syndrome Association. PWSA provided information and assistance so that we could learn important facts about Prader-Willi Syndrome, which was invaluable as we sought the right family for Hye In. Hye In’s adoptive family learned about her through the PWSA, so this wonderful organization deserves credit for the fact that she is now part of a great family!

China: ADOPTION OF CHINESE CHILDREN with SPECIAL NEEDS

2799 Reads

FAC has been accredited by the China Center of Adoption Affairs (CCAA) to place children for adoption since 1994. During the last few years, the CCAA has created a new and more comprehensive system of referring special needs children for adoptive placement, which required adoption agencies to be approved to help the CCAA find permanent homes for those children. There are currently two different systems in place in China for international adoption; one “track” to adopt a child with no known or minimal medical/developmental needs, and the other “track” for adoption of special needs children. Adoptive families must choose which type of Chinese adoption they wish to pursue.

FAC is approved by the government of Kazakhstan to assist families wishing to adopt children from this central Asian republic. Kazakhstan lies in the north of the central Asian republics and is bounded by Russia in the north, China in the east, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan in Sea and part of Turkmenistan in the west. It has almost 1,177 mi (1,894 km) of coastline on the Caspian Sea. Kazakhstan is slightly more than twice the size of Texas. The Kazakhstan territory is mostly steppe land with hilly plains and plateaus. Kazakhstan represents a variety of ethnic groups including Kazakh, Russian, Ukrainian, Uzbek and Tatar. Kazakhstan lies in the north of the central Asian republics
and is bounded by Russia in the north, China in the east, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan in Sea and part of Turkmenistan in the west. It has almost 1,177 mi (1,894 km) of
coastline on the Caspian Sea. Kazakhstan is slightly more than twice the size of Texas.

Kazakh, spoken by over 52% of the population, is the state language. Russian, spoken almost by everyone, enjoys equal status under the Constitution and is a means of interethnic communication in Kazakhstan. Newspapers, TV/Radio programs, school instruction are done in 11 languages (Kazakh, Russian, Uzbek, German, Korean etc.)

Children available for adoption in Kazakhstan are between 7 months of age and up to 15 years old. Both boys and girls are available for adoption. More boys are available than girls. Children are of Asian, Eurasian and Caucasian descent. The youngest referral will range from 7 months to 2 years old. Kazakhstan permits full disclosure of information about all medical histories of the children. Children are available from many regions and various orphanages. The orphanages generally have a good reputation for excellent care, are clean and well staffed. The children receive timely and appropriate health care and nutrition.

The United States is by far the most popular destination for adopted children from Kazakhstan (in 2000-2007 American families adopted more than 5,000 Kazakh kids, with highest number of US adoptions in 2004). In 2008, the Kazakhstan government began registering adoption agencies and FAC was selected as one of The Hague accredited agencies to work for Kazakhstan’s children.
