I just found out and printed some usefull information from the Russian Ministry of Education's web site. The Russian Ministry of Education stopped excepting adoption paperwork from any american adoption AGENCIES for 2 years (letter #8 from 09 April 2002). Until 09 April 2004 the adoption paperwork from an agencies will not be excepted.
