- Interfax has reported that on June 14, representative of the Kazakh Education Ministry Raisa Sher told reporters in Astana that the ministry had sent a request to the U.S. authorities asking to provide information about children living at the U.S. ranch. No response came and Kazakhstan has temporary stopped accepting adoption requests from U.S. citizens until the situation was clarified and information was received, Sher said.
- The activities of the Ranch for Kids has concerned Russian diplomats for over a year. Several Russian children, who were given up by adoptive U.S. parents, live at the ranch, which is located not far from the U.S.-Canadian border. At the same time, escapes of children from the ranch have been registered repeatedly. The inspections held by relevant U.S. agencies revealed violations at the ranch, including the lack of a necessary license.

- Astana. July 18. INTERFAX-KAZAKHSTAN - Russian children's rights commissioner Pavel Astakhov and the Kazakh Prosecutor General's Office have agreed to continue cooperation on the issue of adopted children living in the U.S. orphanage Ranch for Kids.
- "Today, I once again gave the list [of Kazakh children registered at the ranch] to the [Kazakh] Prosecutor General's Office. And thus, they are sending their request that they are already preparing to the U.S. Justice Department," Astakhov said at a news conference in Astana on Wednesday.
- "We will not stop and we will pursue legal action, firstly on this ranch. If we manage to get there with inspectors - either me or our consuls - then we will definitely clarify the issue of how many children from Kazakhstan were there during this time, over 15 years, after all," Astakhov said.
- Kazakhstan "has objective difficulties" on this issue because the country does not have the opportunity to send a delegation to hold special inspections at the ranch, Astakhov said.
- "We were involved in this, we are ready to help. () I saw now at least one child from Ukraine and I will give information regarding this child to my Ukrainian colleagues," he said.
- The ranch is continuing its activities of having adopted children without special permission or licenses for such activities, Astakhov said.
- "It is written in the Kazakh Constitution, the Russian Constitution and the U.S. Constitution that a child has a guaranteed right to education, healthcare, social protection, and safety after all. And how you can guarantee this if you do not have special access, permit or license, whatever you call it, to work with such a number of children," Astakhov said.
- Astakhov said that a total of 63 children aged between five and 17 were at the ranch during his inspection. Astakhov said he doubted the frequency of the visits of the only teacher coming to work with the children.

No response came and Kazakhstan has temporary stopped accepting adoption requests from U.S. citizens until the situation was clarified and information was received, Sher said.

- Astakhov went to the U.S. in late June and one of the issues he discussed when meeting U.S. officials was the living conditions and fate of Russian children living at Ranch for Kids.
