Russian Accreditation Received

ABC/CAS is proud to announce that they have received re-accreditation in Russia!  The Russia Program will be able to process families who submit completed dossiers expeditiously. 

About Our Programs

ABC Adoption Services, Inc started its International Adoption Program in the early winter of 1996 for families wishing to welcome into their hearts and homes children of another culture. The results of the first small group of prospective adoptive parents wishing to adopt internationally were placements from Russia and China.

ABC was the first agency in the Commonwealth of Virginia to become accredited by the Russian Federation.  ABC Adoption offers a program for adoption in China and a China Waiting Child program through our Eastern Regional office. Virginia families requesting to adopt from China will be placed in the ABC China Program.  We are proud to have Chrysalis House as the partner agency for the ABC China adoption program.  

ABC works in partnership with Carolina Adoption Services in Greensboro, North Carolina, for the placement of children.  As a subsidiary, ABC completes homestudies and post adoption services for all international referrals to Carolina Adoption Services for families residing in Virginia. These services allow adoptive families to have a cooperative, one agency relationship from the homestudy to the dossier preparation through post placement services.
