Update on Russian Ban on Intercountry Adoptions to the United States

Dear Friend of CCAI:

Following the January 22, 2013 Russian Supreme Court Letter on Implementation of Federal Law No. 272-FZ , CCAI has continued to work closely with Members of Congress and our partners inside Russia.  In situations like these, CCAI’s priority is to ensure that the U.S. government is aware of all individuals directly impacted and have the information necessary to act on their behalf.  Please go to CCAI's blog (www.ccainstituteblog.org ) to learn about the actions that have occurred since our last update. They include:

  • House Resolution 24: Expressing the deep disappointment of the House of Representatives in the enactment by the Russia Government of a law ending inter-country adoptions of Russian children by United States citizens…
  • January 17, 2013 House of Representatives' Letter to President Putin
  • January 18, 2013 House and Senate Letter to President Putin
  • January 18, 2013 House and Senate Letter to President Obama
  • January 14, 2013 Russian Response Letter to December 21, 2012 Congressional Letter to President Putin

Please don't hesitate to contact me with any questions. 

Best,
