Russian courts are now requiring adoptive parents to complete evaluations here in the U.S. prior to travel as well as an additional medical exam that will take place in Russia.  The exam is commonly known as the “8 doctor medical”.  An appointment will be made for you to go to a medical clinic in Russia to have the medical requirement completed. The appointment will occur on either the first or second trip, depending on the region you are adopting from.  The exam requires laboratory testing, which can be completed by your personal physician here in the U.S. prior to travel and brought with you to Russia.   Please contact Brent or Michelle for more details.
