Russia is going to tighten the rules for adopting children

The Ministry of Education of Russia issued a proposal to the Federal Government make the rules of adoption in the country more stringent.

The need, according to the head of the Ministry of Education Olga Vasilyeva, is long overdue - now the foster family is not selected very carefully in the country.

In the meantime, tighter selection of potential adoptive parents will help to cope with such problems as cases of violence and homicides in foster families.

The Ministry of Education conducted a series of checks on such unfortunate incidents and found out that selection of future parents in all cases was extremely careless.

Potential adoptive parents were checked only formally, on the papers.

Olga Vasilyeva proposes to reduce the number of adoptive and adopted children in one family, setting the limit number. Today, each family can take on up to eight children.

This is too much, according to the Ministry of Education. The adoptive parents physically do not have enough time for each child.

Also, education officials suggested introducing a detailed psychological examination of future adopters and guardians.

Today there is no such check, the guardianship authorities are limited to request help from a psychiatric dispensary that the candidate candidate is not registered and did not apply for psychiatric help.

Vasilyeva also expressed her disagreement with the recent permission for adoption and guardianship for HIV-infected Russians and people with hepatitis. In her opinion, parents with such diagnoses pose a danger for the life and health of children.

Earlier, the global reform of the guardianship authorities was called upon by the children's ombudsman, Anna Kuznetsova.

She decided to take this step after a series of criminal events in Tatarstan, Moscow and Smolensk regions, when adoptive parents brutally massacred their wards.

Olga Vasilyeva’s proposals and its departments in the Government accepted and promised to consider as soon as possible.
