Older Child Programs

Kaliningrad Adoption Program:

Partners for Adoption specializes in the placement of older children from the Kaliningrad region of Russia.  These children are generally at least five years of age at the time of referral.  This program is a wonderful choice for families who are open to an older child. 

Pictures and comprehensive medical information for these children will be made available prior to the family traveling to the region.  This is not a blind referral program. 

Partners for Adoption ensures that families adopting an older child are able to gather as much information as they require regarding their adoptive child’s history and medical condition.  In this vein, our agency is able to arrange for comprehensive and further medical testing while the family is in the region with their child.  Such tests might include, but are not limited to the following:  Additional blood tests, cardiology appointments, and endocrinology appointments.  Families are also able to request a psychological evaluation in order to better understand their child and facilitate the bonding process.  All of these tests will be scheduled and expedited while the family is in Kaliningrad so that the potential adoptive parent can be present if they wish.  Additionally, families are invited to spend extra time in country in order to begin to know and bond with their newly adopted child.
