Building Blocks Adoption Service, Inc.- PROGRAM ON HOLD

The Embassy of the Republic of Kazakhstan would like to inform that the Government of Kazakhstan continues to streamline and upgrade its international adoption system and to that end Kazakhstan has joined the Hague Convention on International Adoption.
Having joined the Convention, the Republic of Kazakhstan, as prescribed, started the process of bringing its national legislation, including the Marriage and Family Code, in compliance with the Convention requirements.
In this regard and to avoid any mistakes and confusion in the process of building the dossiers for prospective adoptive families due to the ongoing legislation reform, the Embassy temporarily suspends the acceptance of dossiers for adoption until further announcement.
The Embassy apologizes for any inconvenience this may cause.


A Kazakhstan Adoption Agency: providing infant, toddler, boys and girls for adoption in Kazakhstan!

Building Blocks Adoption is approved to do adoptions in Kazakhstan.

Our representatives overseas are professional, caring individuals who care about you and the children they seek to place with forever families.

Kazakhstan is located south of Russia and west of China. It is a land of vast “steppes” or plains, spectacular mountains and modern cities. Russian is its chief language and Kazakh, similar to Turkish, is second. Many people also speak English or Chinese.

Citizens are comprised of Kazakh, Russian, Chinese, Mongolian, Turkish, German, Armenian and Korean ancestry. The culture is friendly and hospitality is a time-honored custom. 

The wait for a trip to your region may be about 3-4  months after your dossier is received in-country. Parents may adopt one child. An adoption of infants from Kazakhstan is currently taking about 10-12 months from the time you submit an application until your child is homebut much of this depends on how quickly you complete your papework.

Children Available for International Adoption in Kazakhstan:

Kazakhstan no longer allows parents to choose the gender of the child, but parents can state a preference and why they have that preference; ultimately it must be either gender. There are many children of all ages available for adoption. Children available for adoption can be a minimum of 12 months of age and up to 14 yrs old. Most children are Asian or Caucasian in this former Soviet country. Boys and girls can be referred. Adoptions are usually taking about 10-12 months depending on how quickly you submit your dosseir.  An infant adoption in Kazakhstan is considered to be child of about 8 months old, this is the youngest child available for international adoption in Kazakhstan. We see many families adopting these infants from Kazakhstan and coming home very happy.

Children are available for international adoption in Kazakhstan for the following reasons:

• Parents relinquish their rights due to lack of income
• Teenage Pregnancy
• Parents rights are relinquished by children services
• The parents are deceased
• Boys, Girls, siblings and specials needs children are available.
• The children can be referred at 8 months and older
• Children can be Russian, Kazakhstan and Euro-Asian Descent

 
Travel for International Adoption in Kazakhstan:  
• Kazakhstan has several travel possibilities to complete your adoption. Depending on the region you are adopting from will
  determine your travel options. Officials in Kazakhstan will determine the region where you will meet available children; parents do not
  have a choice on region. Travel can be as follows:

  First trip of 17-25 days for both parents, second trip of 4 day for both parents, third trip is 13 days.  Both parents must be with the child
  for a minimum of 14 days at the child's place of residence prior to the adoption (“the Bonding Period”). This occurs on the first trip to
  Kazakhstan.
