Getting around the one month residence rule for adoption from Russia?

I have a friend who was adopted from Russia this year. She is fourteen. She have a friend back in the orphanage whom has not be adopted yet, and one of my coworkers is looking to adopt another child. She said that she definitely would adopt this girl except contained by order to adopt a child from Russia she must live in Russia for a month. She has four kids at home and manifestly isn't able to do this. I know that there must be a way to grasp around this rule. Maybe petitioning someone or something? What could she do?
When we adopt from China we stayed there for 2 weeks (which is a very short time period IMO).
It be just one of the requirements and we knew that going into the whole adoption process. I would enjoy never tried to "get around it". If the country is giving you a child then the least you can do is follow their rules. If not, ably then you must be Madonna!
You don't get around it. There is a devout reason for it. Plus, wouldn't someone want to experience the culture so that they can help keep it surrounded by the child's life? There are reasons for every standard the agency holds someone to, and circumventing them is only going to bring trouble.
If she cannot be paid the trip to Russia, she has no business adopting from there. If she feel the need to bring a child into her home, there are plenty here in our own foster fastidiousness system who are in dire need of a family. Source(s): Adoptee, mother of 5
You don't

They should stay within the country for at least that long and learn about the culture that the child is from
Tell your friend that this child is not a collector's item, but a person, and that the laws that are within place are there for a reason. Too lenient, within my opinion, but there for a reason, nonetheless.
Answers:    When adopting a child from Russia, the adoptive parents do spend a total of about 4 weeks in Russia, but it's not adjectives in one trip, and isn't a residency requirement. there are specific things that need to be done while within Russia at certain times, and this can be done in either 2 or 3 separate trips, but no, at hand is no way to get around this.

Here is a better explaination of the travel process for Russian adoption.
Adoptive parents will be required to make two or three trips to Russia. Each personage traveling will need to obtain an entry visa for each trip made.

First Trip: The first trip of approximately one week typically take place, on average within 1 month from the child's referral, though in some regions it may take up to 3 months from the time of the referral. The primary purpose of this trip is to accumulate medical information and meet and observe your child.

Second Trip: The second trip takes place approximately 2-5 months after the first, depending on the child's region. Both parents are required to produce the second trip. The purpose of this trip is to attend the court hearing. Once court has been completed, parents enjoy two travel options:

Remain in Russia for a total of 3 weeks, bringing the child home at the end of this extent of time.
Return to the U.S. and make a third trip 10-12 days later for a total of 1 week to bring the child home. Only one parent would need to return for this third trip. *


I know plentiful families who've adopted internationally while already having other children at home. Most hold chosen to leave their other children at home with the grandparents or another relative, and some have only just taken their other children along with them (although this can be very expensive and difficult at times)

The best thing your co-worker can do is find out which agency is incharge of this child's defence, and speak with them directly. It's great that this family wants to adopt an elder child, but there's a certain way that things must be done in international adoption that there's just no way of getting around. If this family is truly commited to adopt this child, then I'm sure they'll find a way to make it work. Also, incite them to do A LOT of research on adopting an older child, especially a child who's grown up in an institution, and how to best aid this child adjust without having unrealistic expectations.
