Not everyone can become adoptive parents. The point here is not only in the existing restrictions, which, of course, are aimed at protecting the child from unscrupulous families. Many couples simply do not imagine that a new child in a family is not only a great joy, but also a lot of work to establish contact and adapt to new conditions.
To begin with, you yourself must think about whether you are ready for this crucial step. Indeed, in fact, it is not so easy to become parents, in fact, to someone else's child. And if pity or inappropriate in this case altruism speaks in you, these are unfortunate reasons for adoption. Unfortunately, in case of unsuccessful adoption, the only way out is to return the child to an orphanage. And this is a huge stress for the child, and a real tragedy for your family. Before deciding on an adoption, take a step-by-step course for adoptive parents. Such trainings are conducted by psychologists with parents-to-be who are going to adopt, foster or foster a child. The courses will tell you what difficulties you will have to face, how to solve all the problems that have arisen, how to learn how to respond correctly to the child's behavior and, most importantly, how to force yourself, if not to love him, then at least accept. It is better to go to such classes with your husband.
If after class your desire to adopt has only grown stronger, it's time to contact your local guardianship and guardianship authorities. There you will be given a list to collect for both husband and wife personally. To get started, contact the local police department to obtain a certificate of no criminal record. It is done within a month. During this time, go through a medical commission and receive a conclusion on your health condition in a special form approved by the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation. Take a certificate of your income (2NDFL) from your place of work. In the settlement center you will receive a copy of the state of the personal account and an extract from the house book. If you are a homeowner, please provide a copy of your title deed. Write a short autobiography. Make copies of your passport and marriage certificate.
Submit the collected certificates and documents to the guardianship authorities. If everything is done correctly, you will be assigned a survey of living conditions. After that, the guardianship makes an opinion whether you can become a guardian or not. In case of a negative decision, you have the right to appeal it. If the decision is yes, you can start looking for the child. But the procedure for transferring a child to a family and the adoption itself takes place only by a court decision.
