Have adoptive parents in the USA whatever federal assistance or an allowance ?

Are you speaking of a Tax Credit?

In the Russia there are talking a lot about situation with the ban therefore there are diverse rumours Some are speaking that U.S. adoptive parents have great assistance of the power of the State and therefore adoption is mush to gain from it. I seem it is not true. Some are speaking that in the USA there are very many orphan too. If it is true, why Americans prefer international adoption?

Eugen, there is not very much U.S. government assistance for those who adopt. There is a tax credit of around $12,000 that parents can deduct off the taxes that they owe the following year. Families with small or modest salaries will usually not owe that much in taxes so it is not helping them very much. It does help many other families, though. The problem is that international adoptions often cost as much as $50,000 (the more long-distance travel, plane tickets and hotels, the higher the final costs -- Russia required three trips) and the $12,000 only returns a little part of the final costs. Most parents, I'm guessing, use their own life savings and/or take loans in order to afford the adoption. Many childless couples are also often a little older (tried to have a child for many years without success) with fairly good jobs so they have had time to save some money. Overall, I'd say that not a single person does international adoption expecting to make money off it -- it's the farthest from the truth you can come. Most work places do not even give time or money for parental leave so that parents can be home with their child. I'm always amazed that it is so difficult and expensive to have a family here in the U.S. (in many European countries they get almost two years of paid parental leave!). It is true that there are a lot of children to adopt (or in foster care) in the U.S., but for a number of reasons it is often an difficult road to take for couples. For example, in U.S. domestic adoption, a pregnant woman generally picks the waiting parents from a couple's profile/application and the birth mother can change her mind after the birth (how long she has to decide depends on what state in the country she is in) and the hopeful couple has to start all over again hoping that another pregnant woman will pick them. Furthermore, many birth mothers want open adoptions, which means that they will be part (to a small or larger extent) of the child's life when it grows up. Many couples who want to be parents are scared of the idea of a birth mother who would in some way be a second mother. Also, since many of the children available for adoption are minority races, especially black, and many of the couples hoping to adopt are white, the matches are harder to make when the white couple prefers a child of their own skin color. I'm of course generalizing and what I wrote is naturally not true in many individual cases (and I probably just offended someone out there [I apologize]) and there are a thousand reasons why people make the choices they make. I am really glad that you asked these questions, Eugen, because there is so much incorrect information out there and it makes me so angry when someone thinks that Americans adopt to make money. That is totally crazy! Thank you for taking the time to find out some facts from people in the U.S. who knows the hard truth about adoptions.

Thanks very mutch Lisa123 I would like to know whether older orphan (at the shool age) are in the U.S. and how are adoption situation about them? Are they being adopted?

Most U.S. foster children go back to their birth family eventually, and those who do not are usually adopted by their foster parents. There are children available for adoption by other families, but they are usually over 10 years old. Most children in foster care are not "orphans" because their parents are usually still alive and often maintain some contact with them. Parents don't normally choose to place their child into foster care. Instead, the state usually takes the child from the parents because of abuse or neglect. The state then usually gives the birth family many chances to improve their life in order to get the child back, so the foster family must accept that they may not be able to adopt the child.

The supporters of the ban assert that American adopters are paying a good deal of money for children, therefore U.S. adoption cause the big corruption in the Russia. They say the Americans buy Russian kids...

Hey Bud, No one is buying children. We pay what we have to pay to get the adoptions done. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it worth it? yes. It is buying children? No. If that is what people are worried about, have them make it free. Then we won't be buying children, we will just be adopting to help Russians with a major problem that plagues their country.
