The kids are looking for a home the latest update. How the federal database of orphans works

A large number of people in the country can take advantage of the right to adopt. Motivation in this situation can be completely different. However, it is worth understanding that such a procedure can change life forever. Before the database of children for adoption is viewed, it is worth properly preparing for this operation. In addition to the moral aspect, there are a sufficient number of legal formalities that need to be observed.

In many progressive countries, they have already managed to abandon such a phenomenon as baby houses or boarding schools for teenage children. There, underage children have time to shelter either relatives or simply caring citizens. Therefore, there the data bank of children for adoption is empty, if necessary, they are looking for children outside their countries.

The reasons that prompted people to embark on this path may be different. And it is not always possible to find out the true motives from future adoptive parents. The search for children for adoption, a data bank for this will be involved, or personal meetings will have to be used, it can be delayed for someone for many months. Less often there are situations when a few weeks are spent on the procedure.

The reasons why they decided to take a non-blooded child into the family have an individual justification, they can be combined into some groups:

  • due to some illness, the spouse cannot give birth to a child on her own and agrees with her husband to take such a step as adoption;
  • a complete family with children wants to do good by making the orphan happy;
  • parents who have lost their children strive to raise a helper for themselves in old age;
  • an underage mother who has given birth to a child gives it up for adoption to her mother, in fact, the baby's grandmother, so that he grows up among close people;
  • relatives or acquaintances of adults with a child tend to take a particular baby to them, taking care of his future fate;
  • wealthy childless people want to raise a successor and heir to the family.

newborn babies

The most in demand by age are very young children. Information about them is also placed by the federal database of children for adoption. Often they are chosen by younger parents in order to independently engage in children's upbringing, to form habits, manners, etc.

You can take a child into custody database or from the maternity hospital at any age. Often mothers of refuseniks certify documents for renunciation of maternal rights right in the maternity hospital. Information about the child and his health after a while becomes available to potential new parents.

Important! Babies require special conditions that they need to organize for the initial difficult period of mutual adaptation.

Such children require much more attention to themselves and responsibility from newly-made parents. Requirements for such babies do not differ from generally accepted standards:

  • adoptive parents must be of age;
  • the family must have its own living space of sufficient size;
  • livelihood and constant work are needed;
  • you will need to provide a certificate of no criminal record;
  • both parents confirm physical and spiritual health;
  • future dad and mom should not have bad habits;
  • the difference in age with the baby is allowed at least 16 years;
  • Citizens of countries with legal same-sex marriages are not allowed to adopt;
  • parents must not be deprived of parental rights or have the experience of returning adopted children.

To confirm good health, you will need to undergo a medical examination.

How to find the base of children

In all children's educational institutions in which babies are without parents and can be adopted, there are questionnaires for each pupil. Such files contain photographs, date of birth, a small description of the character, any habits or special features.

The prepared file is sent to the nearest guardianship authorities. Further, the information through the regional office enters the federal adoption data bank in Russia. It should be borne in mind that the description indicated in the questionnaire is subjective information, which may not always fully or correctly reflect the real state of affairs.

This may be due not only to the unscrupulous attitude of employees to their work, but also to the fact that the habits and character of the child may manifest themselves differently or completely change over time. Therefore, after the bank of children for adoption in Russia has been checked, it is worth visiting the kids you like in person.

Step-by-step instructions for adoption from the maternity hospital

Having set out to become foster parents of a small child, it is necessary to take into account the fact that there is a certain queue in this area. A positive result should be expected only after the biological mother signs the necessary documentary refusal.

The actions of the adoptive parents should then be carried out according to the following algorithm:

  • the couple must be registered in a certain order of the same waiting couples in the guardianship and guardianship authorities;
  • in the same place, in the PLO, they issue special forms for the passage of a medical examination for moms and dads;
  • in addition, it will be necessary to draw up a package of documents for submission to the PLO;
  • after passing through all these formalities, you need to come to the PLO to receive a positive verdict from the employees of the state agency.

In addition to preparing documents, a commission from the PLO will check the condition of the living conditions in which the baby is supposed to grow up. The time it takes to review the documents takes about two weeks. After this period, a final answer will be obtained. Then it remains to wait for the onset of your turn for the refusenik.

Having documents from the PLO in hand, and waiting in line, you must go to court to file an application. If three months have not passed since the collection of all certificates, then the same collected package of documents will do. When the documents were collected more than 3 months ago, a new package will be needed.

Important! Adoptive parents do not pay any state duty in court, so there is no need to enclose any financial receipts. It will be enough approval from the guardianship authorities.

After the decision of the court, the child is allowed to be taken away immediately. The maternity hospital is obliged to provide a postpartum sheet, on the basis of which they apply to the registry office for a birth certificate.

In contact with

The stories of adoptive parents usually begin with the phrase: "And then we saw our sun ..." And most people do not like to talk about what preceded the meeting with the baby. The search for "your" baby is a psychologically very complex process, and it is simply painful for many to remember or talk about him. However, it makes sense for potential adoptive parents to prepare for possible problems in advance. Although this is not so easy to do.

When my husband and I talked about the desire to adopt a child, he said one phrase to me: "I like everything about this idea. But choosing a child like on the market is scary." I have to say, I ignored his words. Like, what can you do? It's inevitable, that's how the system works. However, in reality it turned out that it would be better to prepare for a meeting with this system, to understand how it works and what psychological traps you can fall into.

A little about the system

I will try to explain "on the fingers" how the system works, in which there is information about orphans.

In order for a baby to be placed in a family, he must receive orphan status. If the parents officially abandoned the baby, he can be adopted, taken under guardianship or in a foster family. However, many children do not have status because they still legally have a connection with their biological parents. For example, a biomother is in places of deprivation of liberty, and it is impossible to deprive her of her rights, even if before that she had not visited the child in an orphanage and was not interested in his fate. Or the child's parents have just been deprived of their rights, and the period during which they can appeal against the court decision, "change their minds" has not yet expired. In these and other cases, the baby can be taken under guardianship or in a foster family.

When a baby receives the status "to be placed in a family", he has his own file and is attached to the district guardianship of the institution in which he ended up, i.e. orphanage or children's home. Within a month, the district guardianship should try to arrange the child in a family, and if she failed, transfer information about him to the regional data bank (for example, from the guardianship of the district in a city near Moscow to the bank of the Moscow region). If this operator does not find new parents within a month, he is obliged to transfer information to the Federal Data Bank www.usynovite.ru

Important! The transfer of data about the child to a higher organization does not mean that the district guardianship or the regional bank ceases to care about his placement in the family. It is also important: the regional or federal data bank has the right to give you a referral to visit the child, but it will still coordinate this issue with the district guardianship: what if someone has already started visiting the child by contacting the district directly? Suddenly, the biomother decided to restore her rights? Control calls to guardianship in this situation protect both the adoptive parent and the child from severe stressful situations.

Databanks

The function of the regional and federal banks is clear: to collect information about children in one place. However, in practice, information and its updating are delayed. As a result, large banks may not know that, for example, a child has already received adoption status - and they still list him as subject only to guardianship and guardianship. Thus, if you look through the profiles of children "with an eye on adoption", you may overlook some babies. Or that the child is visited by potential parents - people who establish contact with the baby, but have not yet signed the consent. The database of children is not updated daily, but once a week or less, depending on the region.

What happens to a potential adopter in this situation?

First, the search for a child is a psychological test in itself. Many still in the process of collecting documents look through regional or federal databases and are already mentally attached to a specific child from a photograph. And this is understandable: the decision was made rather difficult, the procedure drags on, it is natural for a person to worry and do at least something that will bring him closer to the unborn baby. However, by the time potential parents have a package of documents, the baby may already be placed in a family. This is serious stress.

You can only avoid it if you force yourself to distract yourself from a particular child by an effort of will: do not look through the database, do not draw this particular baby in your life for yourself, do not return time after time to the photo in the newspaper from the "Looking for mom and dad" section. Many adoptive parents have gone through the experience of disappointment "the child was taken by someone else" - at these moments it is worth remembering that it is your baby who will certainly wait for you. Adoptive parents are familiar with mystical stories when a variety of children were taken from a child's home, and some absolutely wonderful, practically healthy child could not wait for his mother for a long time, although objectively there was no logic in this. Or someone fought with officials for a long time, hurried paperwork, got delays, which is called "out of the blue", and then found a baby whose adoption status appeared exactly when the mother had all the papers ready - and get she had them before, they wouldn't have met. Apparently, foster children, like relatives, do not appear in our lives by chance, and fate disposes of us correctly.

Secondly, many of those who applied to regional data banks simply cannot understand where the children are. They show wonderful babies on TV, cute faces are printed in newspapers, and in the bank (pardon the cynicism) there are completely seriously ill children or children from large families that you are not ready to adopt. There are rumors that officials "keep" children in the interests of foreign adoptive parents, but this is not true. It’s just that because of the red tape about many children, information is not updated, it’s just that on the ground, good specialists from guardianships arrange babies in families on their own, it’s just that quite often data on a child’s health is given in the form of dry facts, without adjusting for the fact that a baby who has experienced deprivation, simply cannot develop normally - so the list of diagnoses can be scarier than the real picture.

Communication with officials

It’s unpleasant to write about it, but you can’t hide an awl in a bag. Far from all instances of adoptive parents are waiting with open arms. It also happens that you come to the data bank and find yourself in a strange atmosphere: as if you came to ask the state for a million dollars for personal needs. They are extremely dismissive, ask questions outside the scope of their own competence. In this situation, it makes sense to remember your rights: you have your passport with you and the conclusion of the district guardianship that you can be a candidate for adoptive parents - this is enough. Your identity, details of your personal life, motives for adoption, etc. operator is not affected. You have every right not to answer personal questions. And what you definitely shouldn’t do is feel guilty, and this often happens to those who adopt a child because they cannot have children of their own, and at the same time, more than once in the process of collecting documents, they were forced to explain themselves to officials of various instances. I once had to hold the hands of an elderly couple and tell them: "Guys, you are completely normal, remember this. The desire to raise a child is the most important thing."

In some regional centers, you need to stand in line to view the database: that is, you first come to the reception, your documents are meticulously examined, and only after that they set a date when you will be allowed to view the database for children. Moreover, the viewing time is limited by the conditions of the operator, and not by your desire and capabilities. You also need to be prepared for this and survive the moment when the search for a child turns into a computer game for attention and speed.

Obviously, the efficiency of officials' work is measured by the number of displayed questionnaires. Therefore, the database does not allow, for example, to exclude children with severe disabilities from viewing the questionnaire, etc. - all this, along with photographs, you will see and say "next", "next, please." Because of this, a visit to a regional center turns into a situation where you can imagine how many disabled children there are in this region and see it in their faces. You also need to be prepared for this - the test is not for the faint of heart. Just give yourself an attitude and immediately present it to the operator: he will quickly close the profiles that are not of interest to you, and you will say to yourself: this is not my child, I am looking for my child. How then to forget that there are hundreds of children who are unlikely to find a family - I do not know. But when you find your baby, when you build a life with him, the acute feeling of this horror will gradually dissipate.

People with a keen linguistic sense need to be prepared for local slang, which can hurt them. Often, sick kids, whose profiles will still show you "to the heap" can be called dismissively, the process of finding a child is called "selection." "Who's next for the selection? Did you sign up for the selection?" If possible, ignore it - have you learned to ignore the wonderful slang of domestic gynecologists from the series: "How old do you live?"

Perhaps it is him!

At the regional operator or in the district guardianship, candidates for adoptive parents are obliged to acquaint them with data on children that meet its requirements. You can say this about the requirements: the softer they are, the more likely it is to find a baby. However, you have the right to look for a child exactly the way you want - everyone has their own way: one person says "any, more or less healthy years up to five", the other - "only a fair-haired boy up to six months." But everyone eventually finds their children. This is the main thing, and it is not worth reflecting on the topic “do I formulate correctly”.

So, you should be given as much information as possible about the children that you are interested in. In regional banks, it is more scarce, since it is sent in the form of a dry form, which reflects the main facts of the child's biography and conclusions about the state of health. In guardianships, many children are known personally, they maintain contact with the orphanage or orphanage, they can make a call in front of you and ask any question to the leadership of the orphanage - this is important.

A perfectly reasonable question arises: how to communicate with those who have information about children? What to ask? What to pay attention to?

  1. Age and gender. It all depends on your desire. Giving recommendations from the outside is a completely pointless exercise. It is believed that an adopted child should not be older than the native, if one already exists. However, there are examples of successful adoption and contrary to this rule.
  2. Information about status and biofamily. In guardianship, these questions are answered very clearly. How did the child get the status for adoption? Will there be obstacles from other blood relatives (for example, the biological grandmother may not be able to take the child into custody, but she goes to visit him at the child's home)? In other words, can you get into trouble in court.
  3. The health status of the child. This is the most subtle moment. Perhaps there is not a single child who would be completely healthy. All children have a delay in mental and physical development - and this is completely normal. The question is, what caused this delay? Try to learn the history of the life and development of the child. For example, it is quite natural that a baby who is in poor health develops poorly intellectually - he is constantly in the isolation ward, he does not even see the staff and other children, not to mention the fact that no one pays attention to him, as happens in family. Naturally, he will lag behind very, very much. In general, "developmental delay" is not a reason to abandon this particular child. Many successful adoptive parents know how many diagnoses simply “evaporated” as soon as the baby got comfortable at home. At the same time, in children's homes, of course, there are many children who have really gross pathologies that cannot be completely and completely cured.

Roughly speaking, if the child has everything in order with the status and there is no disability, you still have to look at him with your own eyes and, excuse the pathos, draw a conclusion for yourself: do you believe in him and in yourself or not. Because a child in a children's institution is so depressed, the life of a little man is so unnatural, so contrary to what is really needed for the development of his personality, that a failure in development is the norm, and it is almost impossible to understand how the baby will develop in the future. Only one thing is true: better than in a state institution.

At the moment when you decide whether to take a referral to meet your baby, you are in the grip of strong emotions. Firstly, you are very sorry for this little one - each of the orphans has a difficult life story, everyone wants to give love and warmth, we feel a little guilty in front of everyone simply because we are big, and everything is not so with us bad, and they are small, and they have no one and nothing. However, remember that ecstatic feeling alone will not help you make the right decision. Therefore, be prepared to take breaks in advance. We received information about one or more children - take a time out for a day to digest this in your head and decide whether or not to take a referral. Get a referral - take time out to go meet your child in a relaxed state.

If you decide, you will be given a referral to visit the child. It is usually valid for a month, at the end of which you must make a decision and notify the guardian. At this time, other willing adoptive parents will not be able to meet with the child.

Discussion

The author of the article "respect and respect." Thank God we have already found our children. We are from Moscow, we found the children in Rostov-on-Don. Everything that the author described is the complete and unconditional truth. It seems that all officials work under a capirka. I would add that the guardianship staff and the regional operator in Moscow, and in the Moscow region, constantly told us: “You won’t find normal children in Moscow. Try your luck in Siberia or the Far East. Only the very sick or "black ones" remained in Moscow. Hmm, Fascism with Russian nationalism in Russia is not a myth, but a reality, even in such matters as adoption and guardianship, they try to emphasize that Russia is for bald-haired Russians, and all the rest .... "black" and "yellow" let them go to waste. And, by the way, we found our children with "southern" blood, not through a fucking APIRATOR, but on the Internet, on the official website. Good luck to everyone, patience and once again be patient and everything will be fine.
Sincerely,
Anatoly.

And everyone decides for himself what he can and what not ...
In my opinion, the author only wanted to convey the emotions of regret, a person who cannot take a disabled person, and therefore scrolls faster further ...

And about the pension of 3,000, there was a topic on TV with a deputy on social issues, I was surprised by the comparison of 20,000 and 3,000, the mother of a suicidal child was indignant, whom she could not leave alone at home to go to earn some money, but on a professional a nurse, did not earn money, and the mother had to send the child to a boarding school, so that there would be an opportunity to earn money for gifts, no one from the studio dared to condemn her. There was one question, would they give my mother a pension of 20,000 rubles, she did not have to send the child to a boarding school ...

The deputy was able to comment only in this way: “It turns out that if a child is left at home, then the parents have the opportunity to raise him.”...

I do not see any categorical! There are no statements in the article: “Don't do this, don't do that”, there are no short sentences, there is a brief description of emotions and actions. Not in the first person, because the person helped other parents, whose experiences were also used.

Personally, as a person who has not yet established himself in the decision to adopt someone else's child, I am interested in any information.

The place where it is described about children with disabilities, and what else can you experience besides pain and regret that you cannot help?
I will give an example, as a fact, an institution allocates an amount of 20,000 rubles for a disabled person, and in a family a child will receive a pension of 3,000 rubles - who will pull it? In order to take care of a disabled child, you need not to work and provide constant care !, you can’t take him to kindergarten! don't leave home alone!

Causes some doubts about the statement:
>, but in fact agrees?! I have not noticed. I noticed something else - guardianship and DR do not "like" reg. and fed. operators, they are paid in return.
> What is true that they do not hold?! Where such confidence?
The rest of the article is positive. IMHO. Only it would be to expand it, to add moments of examples from adoption (guardianship) successful without delay and not successful with rudeness and with "kicking" through the authorities.

Good article: efficient and timely. It was written in order to morally support the adoptive parents and inspire hope that everyone will find their child. It did not seem to me that the author claims to be a lawyer, does not speak categorically, just draws attention to some points. The main thing that sets up a constructive approach. And if a person is confident that he is right, it is easier for him to hold on with dignity and he can calmly delve into the legal subtleties on his own. Thanks to the author!

It's a good idea to familiarize yourself with the laws before you start writing articles with legal advice. The direction is really not a month, but 10 days. For example, for newborns who are taken because they simulate pregnancy, a month for one of the candidates is too much. Other statements of the author are subjective and doubtful. It would be better to rewrite it - to change all "you will see" to "I saw", and as an example of personal experience and personal perception, it would still be tolerable.

The search and selection of a child is one of the most important and difficult stages in the implementation of adoption activities. Many people who decide to accept a baby into their family build in their heads the procedure for finding a child as a simple task, when the child will be brought home by employees of state structures according to the necessary characteristics. In reality, it's not like that at all. Most often, the child needs to be searched for a long time.

The most important thing in the adoption process is the desire to become a real parent to the baby.

Before starting the procedure, you need to study the legal framework and practice in order to know where the adoptive parent should go and how to behave.

The procedure itself requires a lot of time, effort and energy. You should not make numerous demands and wishes about the alleged baby. It may take more than one year for you to be picked up by a blonde girl with blue eyes, at the age of three, without health problems.

The most important thing in the adoption process is the desire to become a real parent to the baby, and what this baby will be like, you will find out in the selection process, understand it with your heart when you meet your baby. It should be understood that in reality, very few children who were left without parental maintenance and upbringing have ideal health.

Search methods

There are several ways to find a baby for adoption:

  • Through communication with familiar people who are employees of the relevant competent authorities. They can advise and provide all the data about the baby that meets all your wishes.
  • The child of your friends or neighbors ended up in a shelter as a result of a variety of circumstances.
  • Accidentally met the baby in a shelter at a holiday or a charity event.
  • You are constantly in contact with children's institutions where orphans live, due to work or other circumstances, and you know about all the children.

Adoption is hard work

But in the vast majority of cases, adoption is painstaking work, inquiries, visits to institutions, familiarization with information about children. This can go on for more than one month, until you find the very baby who will become a full-fledged part of your family.

Part 1 of Article 124 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation: “Adoption is a priority form of placement for children left without parental care.”

It should be understood that adoption is not only your business, it is the task of the state and specialized state institutions work to fulfill it, and you can count on support and assistance. Every year, ways to find babies are being improved, new systems are being introduced to select children. The unified Data Bank of children left without parental care is becoming more perfect and better.

The Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation is implementing an Internet project - "Adopt in Russia", where you can get access to a constantly updated database of orphans, get all the information you need and get expert advice. The activities of many non-governmental organizations, foundations and projects today can help find the baby.

Database

The Russian Federation has a system for collecting, storing, systematizing data on children left without parental care, care and upbringing. It is called the Children's Data Bank. It is she who is the source from where all the data is provided to candidates for adoption who have made an appropriate request in order to find the baby.


There is a special database of children to be adopted

Formation of the Bank begins at the level of districts of subjects of the Russian Federation. When a child appears who needs to be placed in a new family, the guardianship authorities fill in all the available data about him in a special questionnaire in the territory entrusted to them. It contains photographs, personal data, medical indications, known information about the parents, information about why the baby got into this situation. During the first thirty days, all data about the baby remains with the subordinate guardian body, which takes measures to arrange it.

After the thirty-day period, if the baby was not properly arranged, his case is sent to a higher authority of regional significance. Here, the data is entered into the regional Databank. This institute is within the competence of the regional institution of the education administration and manages all information and provides data on incoming requests.

The operator and other competent structures in charge of this issue are trying by all legal means in the interests of the baby to determine him in full conditions. To achieve this goal, the following measures are being taken:

  • information about babies is printed in regional print media, special social videos are created in other media (newspapers, television, radio, websites, etc.);
  • all sorts of events and actions, social orientation.

If after thirty days the baby cannot be arranged at the subject level, the package of his documentation is transferred to the operator of federal significance.


It is worth considering the fact that data on children enters databases with delays

Data on children in specialized banks are updated quite rarely. This should be taken into account when searching. So information about children under the age of one is updated once a year, and for babies older than one year, the update is made once every three years. It is worth considering the fact that data about children enters the database with delays. Information about children contained in databases often does not correspond to reality. This applies to the presence of diseases and other features.

The presence of a multi-level system for storing and presenting data on children who need to be placed in a new family allows you to maximize the opportunities to positively resolve the situation for a larger number of kids. The transfer of data to a higher level authority does not imply the termination of the activities of local guardianship authorities for the placement of a child, work continues at all levels.

Where to go

Based on the structure of receiving, storing and providing information about babies, it is best to initially contact the authority at the place of residence. There is a high probability of finding a child that meets your requirements and wishes. Willingly and quickly determine healthy children in new families. In most cases, the data of children with illnesses, disabilities and other problems are transferred to a higher level. There are exceptions, but in practice this is exactly what happens.

In our country, cases are not uncommon when a person wants to adopt in an area where there are no such specialized institutions. Here the question - where to go to the adoptive parent, is quite acute. In this case, it is worth contacting the authorities of regional or central importance.


Willingly and quickly identify healthy children in new families

It is worth resorting to the services of an operator in another region or central authority in situations where the candidate has not developed effective working relations with local employees of the guardianship authority, and was not satisfied with their approach to resolving the issue. What should be done if there is a desire to avoid or reduce the likelihood of a possible meeting in the future with the parents and relatives of the baby.

A citizen of the Russian Federation who has received the relevant documents that allow him to be an adoptive parent has complete freedom of choice in which authority he should apply when looking for a child. If the candidate is looking for a specific child, his personal data and other information is known, it is necessary to make a request to the federal operator, and also send an application in the region where the baby is supposed to be.

Finding a child through the Databank

Appeal to the operator of the Data Bank implies:

  • Making an application with a request to provide data on children that meet the characteristics that are indicated.
  • Filling out a special form. This paper is needed to enter the data of the candidate for adoptive parents into a special database.

After providing such information, the competent officer is obliged to provide the data at his disposal that meet the parameters of the request. The presence of automated systems allows you to provide information about children on the day of the appeal. In case of technical or other complications, the data must be provided no later than ten days from the date of application.

If at the moment there are no suitable children, the candidate leaves all the necessary data. As soon as a suitable child appears, the potential adoptive parent is notified of this. In accordance with legislative norms, a candidate for adoptive parents is obliged to inform on a monthly basis about the state of affairs, the appearance of new children or the absence of them.


If the initiator of the adoption has found a suitable baby among the provided candidates, he is issued a referral to visit the social, educational, medical institution where this baby is located. A document on visiting a child can be issued to only one candidate at a particular time in order to avoid simultaneous visits to one baby by two applicants.

When visiting the institution, the initiator is required to provide a personal file, a medical card, and all other available information. Employees should talk about the character, developmental features, about the life of the baby. If, after visiting and getting to know the baby, you consider that he is not suitable for you, you must fill out the appropriate paper on the results of the visit for the Bank operator, and submit a new application so that data on other children are presented.

The law does not limit the number of possible applications and visit permits issued, the initiator of the placement of the baby has the right to continue searching until a suitable boy or girl is found.

The selection of a candidate may be suspended if, after the candidate was informed (monthly mandatory notification) about the presence of admissions of children, but did not familiarize himself with the data on children. After a second notification (in a month), if there is no reaction from the initiator, the search stops. In order to resume the selection, the potential adopter must again apply to the Data Bank with an application and provide the required documentation.


Applying to the guardianship authority at the place of residence is another way to find a child for adoption

Other search methods

Another way to search is to contact the guardianship authority at the place of residence with a request to assist in the selection of a baby. After submitting the relevant application and providing all the necessary data, the specialists of the guardianship authority will make appropriate requests to the regional and federal databases. After receiving the questionnaires for eligible children, the adoptive parent candidate will be informed of this and called for review and selection.

But it should be understood that this method is much longer in time. Every person planning adoption should know that the conclusion on the right to be an adoptive parent and other documents are valid for twelve months, and the conclusion on medical indications is only ninety days. If the selection of a candidate is delayed, it will be necessary to update the papers and certificates.

In addition to contacting database operators, the possibility of searching through institutions whose competence includes the maintenance and upbringing of children who find themselves in a situation of lack of guardianship of relatives and friends is not prohibited.

Most of these institutions are under the jurisdiction of the executive authorities that regulate education. These include:

  • Preschool orphanages. Here are children after discharge from the baby house and up to the age of 7 years.
  • Orphanages or boarding schools. This includes children who have reached school age. They attend a nearby public school. In a boarding school, children study directly in an institution where all the necessary conditions for education are created.
  • Specialized and correctional educational and educational institutions. Children with medical, mental and social disabilities live and study here.
  • Institutions providing medical services for children who are deprived of parental education and care. Such institutions include baby houses and maternity centers.

It is necessary to carefully study the data on the previous life of the baby

When visiting a particular baby, it is very important to carefully consider the study of information about him, its verification. Very often, many diseases and deviations are not noted in the documents; in fact, the child does not have a noted disease, data on the nature and characteristics of behavior do not correspond to reality.

It is recommended to conduct an additional medical examination, clarify the noted data with specialists, and find close contact with the baby himself and the employee in charge of him. It is recommended to double-check the information from the employees of the institution, since the presentation of the data usually has a specific purpose.

It is worthwhile to carefully study the data on the baby’s former life, where he stayed before the meeting, what is known about his parents and relatives. All this can give answers to many questions about the condition of the baby at the time of the visit.

Before adoption, when determining the desired age and other requirements, it is worthwhile to thoroughly assess your capabilities. A prerequisite for accepting a baby into a family is the availability of knowledge and skills in upbringing, living together, building full-fledged family relationships. It is worth taking specialized courses and training, because even if you have experience in raising children, there are always specifics, difficulties and peculiarities with foster children.

As it turns out, the Federal Data Bank for Children Without Parental Care is an impenetrable fortress. The people who managed to get into it are few. And in general, it seems that the FBI is specially closed from all possible candidates for adoptive parents and guardians.

Any bank always has working hours: you can come to the branch from 9 am to 6 pm, lunch from 2 pm to 3 pm, something like that. There is nothing like this in FBI. There is only this.

This is a page on the website adopt dot ru, where you can (if you are very lucky) make an appointment with this same FBD.

I don't know what's going on, but I only have about a dozen living examples when people spent several weeks signing up for this very FBD. And without success! A cursory Internet survey of adoptive parents revealed only one woman who was really in this FBI, and with whom she was “tinkered for an hour and a half”, which made an indelible impression on her.

All the rest, no matter how they tried to sign up through this form, could not do it.

What is the problem?

I think that the main problem is that this system does not work. Well, it’s simple: it doesn’t work and that’s it. Whether because it is wrongly done, or because employees use it incorrectly. Well, it can't be that at 10:03 the entry wasn't YET, and at 10:04 it wasn't ALREADY. What, in one minute (or less) all the slots were already occupied? I do not believe. Most likely, the software is just buggy, huh?

Databanks for children are what many modern adoptive parents start looking for their baby with. However, in order to use them to the fullest, it is necessary to understand how this system works, on what principles it is based and what opportunities it provides.

About the system itself

So, let's think about what to do with those who decide to take such a responsible and serious step as adoption. The data bank on orphans is a full-fledged assistant. To ensure that every child left without parental care can be accommodated, he must receive the official status of an orphan. This is the first condition. If the parents have written a refusal of their own child, from that moment on, he can be taken under guardianship or adopted. It must be admitted that not all children have the status of an orphan, but all because they are still in a legal relationship with their parents. How can this be, you ask. Everything is very simple: the biological mother of a child can serve a sentence for a crime committed, which is why it is impossible to deprive her of her rights from a legal point of view. Even if she is not at all interested in the fate of her child, she does not write letters and does not visit him, she legally still continues to be his mother. The same condition applies to all those children whose parents were deprived of their rights by the court, but at this point in time the period during which they can appeal against the court decision has not yet expired.

Only after the child is assigned the status of an orphan, a personal file will be opened for him, after which the child will be assigned to the district guardianship authority at the place of his registration. From this moment on, the child can be adopted and taken under guardianship. The district department of guardianship is given a month to find a new foster family for the baby. As practice shows, in most cases, especially if the child is older than three years, this cannot be done. That is why, after a month, all information about the child is transferred to the regional children's data bank. For the adoption of a child, this is a real chance. If, after one more month of finding data about the child in this database, it will not be possible to find a new family for him, the information will already be transferred to the federal data bank.

Database

The data of children for adoption in the bank of regional and federal significance accumulate and collect information about children. If we talk about how these banks work in practice, we must admit that they are not updated with the regularity that we would like. That is why it often happens that a child has already been adopted, and he still continues to be listed in the database as a potential applicant for adoption. The database is updated only once a week, and even less often in the regions.

What does this mean for a potential adopter?

First of all, the search for a child requires a considerable amount of free time, moreover, this is a difficult psychological test. Many potential adoptive parents, even at the stage of preparing the entire package of documents, regularly visit data banks, take a closer look at the guys, maybe they are already attached to one of the children. The adoption procedure itself is quite lengthy and complicated, sometimes accompanied by difficulties, so stress and worries certainly cannot be avoided. And just imagine: the parents have finally resolved all issues with the guardianship authorities, have received the right to act as adoptive parents, have already chosen a child, and at the time of obtaining permission to visit him, they find out that he has already been adopted.

You can only avoid this if you save yourself from previewing information about the child, and start collecting all the documents that will allow you to qualify for adoption of the child. The database, photos and information about each baby will become available to you only after you are officially allowed to adopt a baby.

Some potential adoptive parents are somewhat skeptical about the information that is indicated in the children's data bank. Indeed, in the newspapers, on television they indicate information about beautiful healthy babies, but it’s enough to open a data bank, how exceptionally seriously ill children come across, the responsibility for the life and upbringing of which you are not ready to take on. There is an opinion that officials deliberately do not post information about healthy babies online, holding it for foreigners. However, do not believe these rumors. The reason is again obvious - insufficiently frequent updating of information.

Dealing with officials the right way

This topic is not entirely pleasant, but still needs to be considered. Far from all organizations and institutions that potential adoptive parents need to visit, they are welcome. Unfortunately, in our country it occurs everywhere. Potential adoptive parents often face rudeness, a dismissive attitude, they are forced to listen to a lot of dissatisfaction and answer questions that have nothing to do with their case. At these moments, you need to remember your true motive - the desire to adopt a child.

In some areas, prospective adopters must queue to be able to view the database. You first need to come to the reception, go through the procedure for reviewing documents, and only after that wait for the moment when you get access to the database. Yes, adoption is a complicated and responsible process. Data bank, photos of kids - what you still have time to do. The main thing is to aim at the result, study all the regulations governing the adoption of children.

The regional database operator must acquaint all potential adoptive parents with data on children within the framework of the requirements that they impose on them. If we talk about requirements, then remember that the softer and more loyal they are, the higher the chance of finding a baby. In fact, no one limits you, set the search criteria that you consider necessary and necessary, first of all, for your family.
