Kazakhstan: Children
built 630 days ago
Kazakhstan is known for it's high standard [I]n child care, and the baby houses are impressive in terms of cleanliness and genuine love for the children. The adult/child ratio in the baby house is 1:6. The children remain with their own age group (12 children in each group) and each group has two caregivers. This stability in their environment facilitates their emotional development and ability to form attachments with their caregivers. Even with this great care, it should be still noted that these children live in an orphanage and families should expect delays in development in the areas of cognitive, speech and language, emotional, social, and gross motor skills.

Children who end up in the orphanages of Kazakhstan are typically abandoned at the hospital at birth. This means that some (although minimal) birthparent history may be available, along with some of the child’s medical history. These children are usually abandoned due to extreme poverty – because the birth family is unable to provide for them

According to the Kazakhstan law, orphaned children are required to be registered with the Ministry’s Database for at least six months before they are eligible for international adoption. The MOE determines what region the adoptive parents would travel to adopt from based on availability of children.

Parents agree to register their child or children with the Kazakhstan government prior to leaving Kazakhstan. The cost to do so is borne by Parents. Currently, the registration fee is $350. Kazakhstan only permits international adoption with countries whose adoption agencies enforce this requirement. In compliance with Kazakhstan law, Parents agree to provide A Helping Hand Post Adoption reports, at their own expense. Each Post Adoption report has to be accompanied by 20 different current photographs per adopted child.

Holt is currently looking for families interested in adopting a child from Holt’s newly developed programs in Kazakhstan. There are many abandoned children in Kazakhstan who need families.

Please consider an older child, age 3-6 when deciding about your adoption from Kazakhstan. There are many wonderful children waiting for their forever family. When your dossier is complete, contact either the St. Louis office or your Branch office to see if any of these children are available, off the database and would have a place in your heart, life and family.
