Right now there is a layered hold-up due to the new NGO standards (Non-governmental organization) - all adoption agencies fall under that category and Russia is currently instituting some new rules and paperwork that must be completed for an agency to operate as an NGO. The guidelines for this process are not yet set - so agencies are waiting to complete that part and then re-apply for their re-accrediation. From what I've heard they are expecting three months to get approved as an NGO (once the process is set) and then another three for re-accrediation.
To answer another question - yes, some agencies who've lost or never gained accrediation did do things wrong- missing post-placements or worse. When you speak with agencies about re-accrediation get the dates and whether theirs ever lapsed and if so, why?
