Russia law now mandates that U.S. adoptive families obtain 30 hours and possibly up to 80 hours depending on the region, of pre-adoption training prior to completing an adoption from Russia. The Russian Law states up to 30 hours of this training must be in a face-to-face setting with a Certified Trainer.  I, Leslie Zindulka, LCSW-R am a Qualified and Certified Trainer. I have been trained by and approved through the University of Pittsburgh, and will provide you with the required face-to-face training. This three-day course will prepare you for the online testing, issued by the University of Pittsburgh, necessary to acquire your “Certificate of Training” which will be submitted as part of your dossier.
