Why can’t I access information regarding Russia adoptions? I have a friend who was adopted in Russia in 1997 and has her adoption papers in Russian and has not yet found her biological family. Can you suggest how she may go about retrieving further information?
I used to live in Russia, but I have no idea how she could get information. I will ask around, though. I know it’s been done.
