So these 2 agencies plus EAC would be the 3 adoption agencies mentioned in the earlier articles as suspended.<BR/><BR/>For Americans doing Russian adoption there are 2 forms of accreditation. Their US based adoption agency must be Hague Accredited. This is the type of accreditation you are talking about.<BR/><BR/>This same adoption agency must also have a presence (office) in Russia. I believe they have to be a registered Russian charity (but this restriction could have changed). And the Russian government investigates them for accrediting.<BR/><BR/>So far the Russian government hasn't posted on their web site if EAC is suspended. Their name has just shown up in some Russian news articles. We should have official news (aka from the Russian government) by Tuesday.AngelaWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06650267665190139317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19705400.post-59898711626334978012008-07-14T04:35:00.000-05:002008-07-14T04:35:00.000-05:00Hi Amy!

In other words - even if an agency is accredited by COA here, they may not meet the standards that the Russian government has set and they have the right to refuse them. I will look into that for you and try and get info. :)DawnDawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07193871656856690097noreply@blogger.com
