Children available for International Adoption
Children in Russia are not available for an international Russia adoption until they have had the opportunity to be adopted by another Russian family. Children remain on a list called a registry for a total of 9 months. After that time they are allowed to be referred for international adoption. The children are not legally able to be referred until they have completed their time on the registry.

Do you know the percentage of children that are adopted internally by Russian families vs. International?
I don't know the percentage but internal adoption has increased. Russia has passed new laws offering incentives to families to foster and adopt.
