Adopting from Russia - Links
|

My top 4 recommendations:
APR mailing list Eastern European Adoption Coalition Adoptive Parent Russia mailing list. About 2000 people subscribe to the list. There are about 50 messages/day, sent in batches of 400 lines or so. If you can't find answers here in Adopting from Russia, you will probably get a fast answer from the mailing list, but you will have to sift through a lot of unrelated messages.
Families for Russian and Ukrainian Adoption (FRUA) message board. The best message board.
www.russianadoption.org Medical information and many links.
Adoption.about.com A comprehensive site with links to BCIS information, description of the adoption process, adoption stories and more.
www.eeadopt.org Eastern European Adoption Coalition. Agency references; travel info and links; mailing lists; packing lists.
