How does each agency decide which children need homes?

Adoption agencies employ overseas staff with experience in working with the government and experience in helping orphans. These individuals truly care about children.

For example, In Russia, Buckner has personal working relationships with numerous orphanages in regions throughout Russia, including Saint Petersburg, Tambov, Smolensk and others. Legally available children are identified by the regional adoption committee after the adoptive family’s approved dossier paperwork is registered in a region in Russia.

In China, the China Center for Adoption Affairs (CCAA) receives the adoptive family’s completed dossier and approval status and then later refers a child for the specific family.

In Ethiopia, adoptable children who are placed in the Buckner babies home are matched with waiting Buckner approved families.
