According to the US Embassy in Moscow’s web site as of June 27, 2007, the following seven adoption agencies are currently accredited with the Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation. This registration is sometimes referred to as “accreditation” or “licensing”. Due to changes in Russian adoption law, there has been a delay in agencies being accredited/re-accredited. The US Embassy in Moscow recommends that you stay in close contact with your adoption agency on this issue.
