- Abstract
- The Russian Federation decided in late 2012 to ban adoptions to the United States.

- The Russian Federation decided in late 2012 to ban adoptions to the United States. The adoption ban has been criticized from several directions for being motivated politically and that it did not take into account the children who were waiting for an adoption to the United States. Children who go through an adoption are often found in an unusually vulnerable position. Not only have they lost their parents' care, but they have also been deprived of their natural home environment. To ensure dependable protection of children in an adoptive process, several international agreements have been established to make sure that the adoptions are controlled by competent authorities and only take place if it is in the child's interest. The paper aims to analyze the degree to which Russia in theory meets international guidelines on adoption that are found in the United Nations Children's Convention of 1989 and the Hague Adoption Convention of 1993. The theory is based on a children's rights perspective that is founded in the four basic principles of Convention on the Rights of the Childs: non-discrimination; the best interests of the child; the right to survival, life and development, and respect for the views of the child. The outcome of the study is that Russia has established the principles from the two conventions but that there are changes that can be made to better ensure the protection of children in cases of adoption.
