FAC is approved by the government of Kazakhstan to assist families wishing to adopt children from this central Asian republic. Kazakhstan lies in the north of the central Asian republics and is bounded by Russia in the north, China in the east, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan in Sea and part of Turkmenistan in the west. It has almost 1,177 mi (1,894 km) of coastline on the Caspian Sea. Kazakhstan is slightly more than twice the size of Texas. The Kazakhstan territory is mostly steppe land with hilly plains and plateaus. Kazakhstan represents a variety of ethnic groups including Kazakh, Russian, Ukrainian, Uzbek and Tatar.

and is bounded by Russia in the north, China in the east, Kyrgyzstan and Uzbekistan in Sea and part of Turkmenistan in the west. It has almost 1,177 mi (1,894 km) of
coastline on the Caspian Sea. Kazakhstan is slightly more than twice the size of Texas.

Kazakh, spoken by over 52% of the population, is the state language. Russian, spoken almost by everyone, enjoys equal status under the Constitution and is a means of interethnic communication in Kazakhstan. Newspapers, TV/Radio programs, school instruction are done in 11 languages (Kazakh, Russian, Uzbek, German, Korean etc.)

Children available for adoption in Kazakhstan are between 7 months of age and up to 15 years old. Both boys and girls are available for adoption. More boys are available than girls. Children are of Asian, Eurasian and Caucasian descent. The youngest referral will range from 7 months to 2 years old. Kazakhstan permits full disclosure of information about all medical histories of the children. Children are available from many regions and various orphanages. The orphanages generally have a good reputation for excellent care, are clean and well staffed. The children receive timely and appropriate health care and nutrition.

The United States is by far the most popular destination for adopted children from Kazakhstan (in 2000-2007 American families adopted more than 5,000 Kazakh kids, with highest number of US adoptions in 2004). In 2008, the Kazakhstan government began registering adoption agencies and FAC was selected as one of The Hague accredited agencies to work for Kazakhstan’s children.
