Our partners in Kazakhstan are dedicated, experienced professionals who understand the importance of finding stable, loving families for the children in orphanages. Requirements/Eligibility Kazakhstan is open to married couples, with a minimum age of 25 for both parents, and a maximum age of 52 for mothers and 55 for fathers. Single mothers may adopt one child at a time. Available Children Boys and girls ranging in ages six months to 10 years are available for adoption. The health and development of children in the Baby Homes is evaluated on a regular basis. The staffs include therapists and medical specialists. There is a small “child to staff” ratio, as they understand the importance of consistency in caretakers for the children’s attachment development. The children are well cared for as Kazakhstan prides itself for its child-care programs. Time Frame Families can expect to be home with their child(ren) in less than twelve months from the time of application, pending completion and approval of the paperwork. The time frame may vary by gender, age of child, and program selected. The Process Once our liaisons register you with the proper entities in Kazakhstan, you are issued a letter from the Guardianship Body of the town where you will be adopting. This letter invites you to come to Kazakhstan to adopt. Once there, you will be shown children and allowed to select your baby/child(ren). Kazakhstani law requires parents to spend two weeks with their child prior to adoption. The adoption is completed in Kazakhstan and families then exit through Moscow to complete the Embassy paperwork. The trip can take three to four weeks. Your family is cared for by our liaisons while in country. Frost helps you prepare for your trip with a list of “to do’s” before traveling. To help with the actual trip, you may consult our travel information for assistance with travel plans and details. “You have been wonderful to work with, and we have highly recommended Frost to several others we have come in contact with. Thanks, again.” -- Tom & Margaret Read more testimonials...
