Requirements for an adoptive parent

Specialists from guardianship departments are more demanding in their approach to adoptive parents who want to adopt a baby. Therefore, you need to be prepared for more stringent requirements.

At the same time, they are also subject to the general conditions:

• full legal capacity of the candidate and his spouse;
• age of majority;
• income not less than the subsistence level for each family member + 1 subsistence level per child;
• absence of diseases that interfere with parental responsibilities (oncology, infectious diseases in the acute stage, alcoholism and drug addiction);
• housing (owned, rented);
• proper living conditions for the child (bed, room);
• consent of all family members to adoption;
• absence of criminal record for serious and especially serious crimes;
• absence of a court decision on deprivation/limitation of parental rights, cancellation of adoption due to the fault of the candidate;
• absence of a local government decision to remove a guardian from duties;
• not having US citizenship;
• unmarried for persons of the same sex;
• the age difference between the adoptive parent and the adoptee must be at least 16 years;
• obtaining a certificate of completion of the school of surrogate parents.

If several families want to adopt one child, then priority is given to the child’s relatives. If there are no relatives among those who wish, then priority is given to the family that was the first to receive a referral to visit the child from the guardianship department.

Note! Unmarried citizens cannot be adoptive parents of one child.

Who has the right to be an adoptive parent

In Russia, both citizens of the Russian Federation and subjects with foreign citizenship can adopt a minor child. Restrictions are provided only for citizens of the United States of America - they are legally prohibited from adopting Russian children.

Important. The list of requirements for candidates is enshrined in Art. 127 SK.

Subjects who meet the following criteria have the right to adopt a lonely child:

• age of majority, and as a general rule it is necessary that the person being adopted be at least 16 years younger than his patron;
• satisfactory physical condition, absence of severe chronic diseases;
• having full civil capacity.

These are the main conditions, without which you should not count on replenishing your family at all. At the same time, the board of trustees will also be sure to ask the applicant whether he has suitable living space, what his income is and whether he has completed the necessary training.

The legislator also emphasizes that a subject, regardless of gender, can submit documents and pick up a boy or girl from an orphanage. Adoption does not have to be carried out by spouses - unmarried persons also have a similar right. But if a couple wants to consolidate an official relationship with a minor, a registered marriage is required.

Note. One of the spouses also has the right to adopt a boy or girl on their own. In such circumstances, only the consent of the other partner will be required.

How to become a candidate for adoptive parents?

The first step in the adoption procedure is to obtain a conclusion on the possibility of being a candidate adoptive parent.

To do this, the applicant must:

1. Contact the guardianship department at your place of registration. You must have a civil passport with you. The specialist will conduct a consultation, give a list of documents that need to be prepared, and send substitute parents to the school. The validity period of the referral is unlimited.
2. Go through the school of surrogate parents, pass the exam and receive a certificate. If there are two adoptive parents, then each of them must receive a certificate. A list of current schools for foster parents can be found here.
3. Collect documents. If the adoptive parents are a married couple, then all documents are collected in 2 copies (for the husband and for the wife). If only one of the family will act as an adoptive parent, then documents on health, income, and housing are collected for two spouses, and the rest - only for the candidate.
4. Apply. It can be submitted in person to the guardianship department or through the MFC. Within 5 days, specialists from the guardianship department will visit the candidate’s home and inspect the living conditions.
5. Receive an opinion on the possibility of being a candidate for adoptive parents. The document is issued 10 days from the date of application. The validity period of the conclusion is 2 years from the date of issue. The document can only be used once.
6. Select a child's candidacy.
7. Contact the Guardianship Department for a referral. You cannot personally come to the baby’s home to meet the child without a referral. Employees of a medical organization do not have the right to start a candidate. Therefore, you first need to visit the guardianship department at the location of the orphanage, the regional or federal operator of the data bank on orphans. Only with an official referral can you come to the organization.[/box]
8. Get to know the child personally and establish contact. Review your medical record and personal file.

One of the important stages in the process of getting to know the child is establishing contact with the head physician of the orphanage. His consent plays an important role in the adoption court.

• Prepare documents and a claim for adoption. Documents are submitted to the district court at the location of the organization.
• Attending a court hearing. The process cannot take place in the absence of the adoptive parent. Specialists from the guardianship department and the prosecutor should also participate in the process.
• Obtaining a court decision. The document will come into force in 30 days. But the adoptive parents can indicate in the claim a request for immediate execution of the decision. This will allow you to take your child home on the day of the trial.

Note! The adoption procedure at all stages is absolutely free. Intermediary activities in the field of adoption are prohibited by law.

Documentation

The list of documents for obtaining a conclusion on the possibility of becoming an adoptive parent is established by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 2000 No. 275:

• civil passport of the adoptive parent and his wife;
• extract from the Unified State Register for the apartment;
• housing lease agreement;
• autobiography;
• medical report for each spouse;
• Marriage certificate;
• income certificate;
• certificate of completion of the school for substitute families.

If the child’s adoptive parent is a brother or sister, grandmother or grandfather, then it is not necessary to provide a certificate of completion of training. Specialists from the guardianship department will request additional information on their own.

Statement

An application to the guardianship department to obtain an opinion on the possibility of being a candidate for adoptive parents includes the following information:

• name of the guardianship and trusteeship authority;
• applicant details;
• citizenship, passport details;
• registration address;
• phone number;
• information about criminal record (if available);
• pension information (if available);
• the purpose of contacting the guardianship department;
• additional information (experience in communicating with children, medical or pedagogical education);
• list of documents;
• date and signature.

Waiting for a decision

Checking living conditions

In order to assess the conditions for the future residence of the adopted child, the guardianship authorities are obliged to send a commission to the place of his intended residence. This is a necessary condition for obtaining a positive decision on the possibility of becoming an adoptive parent.

The commission evaluates the living conditions of the home and issues a corresponding certificate to the apartment owners. This document will need to be included in the application package.

Interview with a PLO officer

Another necessary stage is an interview with a PLO officer. He studies the intentions of the potential adoptive parent, draws his conclusions about his financial stability and moral readiness to take care of the ward, and about the psychological situation in the prospective family of the pupil.

The result of the interview is also documented in the form of a corresponding act.

Meeting the baby

A written decision on the possibility of adoption will be issued within two weeks after the examination of living conditions.

If a positive decision is made, you need to contact the orphanage with a request to provide you with access to databases about children who are waiting for adoptive parents.

After studying the questionnaires provided, you need to choose which child you would like to continue acquaintance with and receive a referral for acquaintance. After the first meeting, you will have ten days to decide whether you will look for the next applicant or continue to get to know this one.

You must notify guardianship of your decision; if you refuse to continue dating, be sure to indicate the reason. You can immediately ask for a referral to meet another student.

How to find a child for adoption?

The next stage is the selection of a child's candidacy. Statistics show that 90% of adoptive parents want to accept a child under 5 years of age into their family. Moreover, at least 50% of adoptive parents want him to be an only child (without brothers and sisters).

In this regard, difficulties arise in selecting a child for adoption. Since the choice of children aged 0 to 5 years with a satisfactory state of health is limited, it is advisable to independently take measures to select a child, rather than rely on the guardianship department.

You can find truthful and up-to-date information about your child:

• from a regional or federal data bank operator;
• from specialized funds;
• in the guardianship departments.

Don't pay attention to websites on the Internet. The information posted on social networks is, in most cases, long outdated. And the placed children have been raised in the family for a long time. Also, do not turn to thematic forums for help. By agreeing with a pregnant woman to “purchase” a child, adoptive parents commit a crime under the Criminal Code. In addition, there is a high probability of becoming a victim of scammers. A mother may ask for money for treatment, food, examination, but subsequently refuse to hand over the child to adoptive parents. It is impossible to punish her for this, because by entering into an agreement with her, the adoptive parents themselves commit a crime.

Therefore, when searching for a child, it is recommended to give preference to legal methods of selection.

Data banks

In each subject of the Russian Federation there is a regional bank for orphans. This is a database of all children in the region who need a device.

All information from regional banks is sent to the federal data bank. You can obtain information about children directly from the federal operator and on the website Usynovite.ru.

The disadvantage of this service is the low relevance of the information. As a rule, information enters the data bank when a referral has already been issued from the guardianship department or a regional data bank to meet the child.

To receive more up-to-date information, you need to register with the data bank in order to receive a notification when new information arrives. In some regions, you can register using the State Services portal.

Funds

There are many foundations in Russia that assist in the family placement of orphans.

Among them:

• Volunteers to help orphans;
• Give good.
• NGOOU Stork Day.

As a rule, funds provide assistance in the placement of children with special health conditions or families with 2 or more children. Charitable organizations not only provide assistance in selecting a child, but also accompany the family at the adoption stage and after it.

Guardianship departments

The most up-to-date information about children in need of placement can be found in the district guardianship departments. To obtain information, you need to visit the department in person and submit an application to register as a candidate adoptive parent.

Life of children in the Tyumen orphanage

The institution provides all basic types of medical services. Visits are conducted by pediatricians, deputy chief physician, neurologist, otolaryngologist, ophthalmologist, orthopedic surgeon, and psychotherapist. There are also exercise therapy, massage and physiotherapy rooms.

Treatment of pathologies in children is carried out according to the standards of medical care. The specialization of the Tyumen Children's Home corresponds to the conditions of its activities.

Compression nebulizers for inhalation are available in physiotherapy rooms, at medical posts, and in rooms for isolating patients.

In addition to the hall, other groups are equipped with dry pools and soft play modules, including those designed for children with disabilities. In addition, each room has a massage corner with a couch and swivel chair.

Construction of an additional building

Since the summer of 1947, the orphanage in Tyumen on Kuznetsova became the last refuge of the institution. The building had the most modern architecture in Tyumen for that period. Later, in the 80s, an additional building was designed and built using funds received from a voluntary cleanup. It was built for the central zone of the USSR and designed for one hundred seats. At the same time, the government agency receives special purpose status. The orphanage begins to accept children with disorders of the central nervous system and mental problems.

Currently, about 100 children are being raised here, from infancy to four years of age. The children's home of the city of Tyumen is a place where children are given warmth, comfort and knowledge necessary for the formation and development of personality.

When can I pick up my child from the orphanage?

After the court decision is made, it is determined when the child can be taken away:

1. If the adoptive parents requested that the court decision be carried out immediately, then the child can be picked up on any day in agreement with the head physician of the organization.
2. If there was no petition, the decision will take effect after 30 days. After which you need to put a stamp in the court office indicating that the court decision has entered into legal force. With the court's decision, you can contact the chief doctor to pick up the child.

Note! The orphanage does not provide clothes or shoes. It is on the balance sheet of the organization. Therefore, you need to take clothes with you.

A new stage in the history of the shelter

After the armed conflict in 1919, only 32 toddlers remained in the Vladimir syrup nutritional institution. Older children disappeared due to past events. The social department of Tyumen decided to establish a “Mother and Child Home” on the basis of this shelter. They opened an establishment in the wooden mansion of merchant Guseva. Maria Shulina, who completed three years of school, was appointed head. She took office at the age of 21, being a supporter of the ideas of communism. She was later replaced by Maria Strelnikova, who received her education in Moscow, graduating from nursery courses.

From that time on, a new stage began in the history of the existence of the Baby House in Tyumen, the photos of which are not able to fully convey the kind and cozy atmosphere that reigns there. Over the following years, one name was replaced by another. But the essence of the institution’s activities - raising children, thinking and caring for them - remained the same. The pupils at home always received kind-hearted treatment here.

Lawyer's answers to private questions

Can a single woman become an adoptive parent?

The law does not limit the right of single citizens to be adoptive parents. Therefore, a single woman can also apply to become a candidate adoptive parent. The main thing is that it meets the established requirements.

I am a volunteer at an orphanage. I want to adopt one of my pupils. But the head doctor says that she cannot be taken into the family, and does not explain the details. Is it possible to adopt any child from an orphanage or is it impossible to adopt any of the children?

In orphanages there are children undergoing rehabilitation from disadvantaged families and families in difficult life situations. Some children are undergoing treatment. In addition, some children cannot be adopted because the parents have not yet been deprived of their rights. The head physician cannot provide information about all students. Information is provided only to candidates and about those children with whom a referral has been issued.
