Book provides an explicit course for international adoption.
This book provided an explicit course for the adoption of our children from Russia. We worked with an agency that provided the help we needed for the Russian side of the adoption. Following the adoption, the guidance for the readoption procedure in the States, and the procedure for obtaining citizenship for the children was almost the only guidance we could find without paying an attorney. We came across only one discrepancy. We learned that the paperwork was to be turned over to our local INS office, and not to a major INS office.
