This is a group for parents, family and friends of children adopted from Petrozavodsk and other areas of Karelia. It is intended to be a safe and respectful place for people to talk about our amazing Karelian kids, share questions, concerns, stories and any other topics they feel are pertinent to an adoption from Karelia, whether the adoption is in process or long since completed.

This is also a forum for those of us who strive to help the children remaining in orphanage care in Karelia through humanitarian aid projects.
