I want to volunteer and help a nice family to adopt a child from Russia.

Please, if interested, send me a message.

Please do not take this the wrong way. I am not trying to be condescending. I am just curious how you could help a family adopt? I am just curious.

Thanks,
Vicki

The best way to help would be to give financially to non-profit organizations who help families pay the very high adoption costs. Try doing a "google" search online. I'm sure you will find one that you can feel good about!

I'm not sure that I could give financially at the present time.

But I thought I could give help to a certain family, I'm russian and I could be helpful in adoption process - paperwork, travelling, translations, overcoming language barrier between a child and parents, etc. - especially for those who want to do independent adoption.

I wonder does anybody need that ?
If not, I apologize for taking your time.

Perhaps there is someone who could use your help. I'm sure they'd need to establish a trusting relationship with you first. I think that is very kind of you to offer. We have several friends in Russia and also Russian connection here, so we are all set as far as that goes.

Yes, certainly, a trusting relationship is important.
But I don't think that would be an issue at all as long as the family is really nice, loving and caring.
