Adoption program from Kazakhstan

Our international adoption program from Kazakhstan is ideal for families interested in adopting infants, toddlers, sibling groups and older children. Many orphaned girls and boys await loving families. Children from Kazakhstan either resemble their Kazak or Russian heritage, or a combination of both ethnicities.

Children typically come home to their new families in approximately four to six months from the time of Dossier submission.

Why Kazakhstan?

Kazakhstan’s orphanages have a good reputation for excellent care and the children for good health. Children reside in orphanages that are clean and are well staffed. Additionally, kids receive good health care and adequate nutrition.

Adoption process

The Kazakhstan Ministry of Education, Committee on Guardianship and Care oversee international adoptions.

Once your application is received, your personal adoption consultant will assist you with compiling your dossier. Once your dossier is complete, it will be translated and sent to the Kazakhstan Embassy, where it will be reviewed and registered. At this time it will be sent to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and then onto the Ministry of Education in Kazakhstan. You’ll be notified as soon as a referral becomes available and receive an invitation to travel to Kazakhstan, where you will have the opportunity to learn of and meet prospective children. Both parents are required to travel. Once you meet a child you wish to adopt, you will have daily visits withyour child for two weeks. Propective parents should expect an in-country visit of approximately three to six weeks, although one parent may return home after the official adoption decree is granted.
