Kazakhstan is one of the former Soviet Republics of Soviet Union. Kazakhstan gained its independence in 1991 with the fall of Soviet Union. Kazakhstan is the wealthiest of the former republics and is quickly moving into a premier leadership role in Central Asia.

The Children:
Children available for adoption from Kazakhstan range in age from 6 months to 16 years of age. The children include a mix of native Kazakhs and Russians who have migrated there since Russia conquered the area in the 18th century. About 70% of the children are of Asian background while 30% are considered Caucasian. Many of the children are intermixed creating a beautiful array of appearances of children.

Note:
The Kazakhstan Embassy is not accepting any new dossiers for adoption and in Kazakhstan. This country is currently in the process of becoming a Hague signatory country ; therefore, Kazakhstan is temporarily closed for adoptions until it completes this process. There is no foreseeable date when this process will be completed. Adoption policies for Kazakhstan will likely change after it is reopened for adoptions. Updated policies will be provided as soon as they are available.
