This is a group for families who have adopted or will adopt from the North Caucasus Region of Russia, (and children with this ethnic background) including:
* Republic of Adygea (Maykop), * Republic of Kalmykia (Elista), * Republic of Dagestan (Makhachkala), * Republic of Chechnya (Grozny), * Republic of Ingushetia (Magas), * Republic of Kabardino-Balkaria (Nalchik), and * Republic of Karachaevo-Cherkessia (Cherkessk).

The Caucasus is one of the most linguistically and culturally diverse regions on Earth. It is also an area of great ecological importance. Its native animals include leopards, brown bears, wolves, European bison, marals and golden eagles. The natural landscape is one of mixed forest, with substantial areas of rocky ground above the treeline.
