Facts on Russia:


A bill inspired by the downfall of a Napa adoption facilitation firm has yet to take effect almost a year after it became law.

Date: 2007-11-27

SB 1758 -- which became law in January 2007 -- placed new restrictions on
adoption facilitators, requiring them to post a $25,000 bond, undergo social
work training and criminal background checks, and register with the state.
Previously, adoption facilitators needed only post a $10,000 bond and obtain
a business license to operate.
But bureaucratic systems to track adoption facilitators are still being put
together, state officials say, and they need more time to work with the
Department of Justice and state licensing agencies to set up a registry of
approved adoption facilitators -- although not much more time.

"We are moving forward with implementation, we have a process in place for
the background checks once we receive criminal history from the (Department
of Justice)," said Shirley Washington, a spokeswoman from the California
Department of Social Services. The department is responsible for carrying
out SB 1758. "We are hopeful that the Web site registry will be up on the
Web by the end of the month."

Washington said the department is also slated to propose a new law in 2008
that would seek to establish a place where the public can contact the state
and find out if a particular adoption facilitator followed the law.

In 2006, testimony from adoption attorneys, adoption groups, Napa police and
others convinced state lawmakers to pass SB 1758 and make it tougher for
adoption facilitators to scam would-be adoptive parents.

Napa Police files submitted as court documents last year showed Yunona USA
had scammed more than $1.1 million from 118 couples and families across the
United States, promising to connect them with foreign orphans but either
switching promised children at the last minute or dropping out of contact.

Two years ago Napa police began investigating Yunona USA after police
received a complaint from a woman who alleged the company took thousands of
dollars of her money with no sign of working to connect her to an orphan.
The resulting investigation triggered a civil lawsuit filed by Napa
prosecutors, who won a $368,000 default judgment against Yunona USA
President Ivan Jerdev. Jerdev fled to Russia in 2005 shortly before police
began investigating his firm, but Russian news agencies reported in 2006
that Jerdev had been arrested by Russian authorities on corruption charges.
