UKRAINE ADOPTION| AVAILABLE CHILDREN

Our Ukraine Adoption program offers beautiful children with a variety of skin tones and hair color
from orphanages throughout the country. Children are available for adoption from 14 months of age
up to 15 years old. In general children are without medical problems. Special needs children and
sibling groups are also available. Two unrelated children may be placed together at the same time.

You begin your Ukraine Adoption process by collecting the
documents (Adoption Dossier). The State Department for
Adoption(SDA) processes and approves your adoption dossier.
After receiving the invitation to travel, preparations can be
made for the trip. Ones everything is completed and approved,
families will travel to Ukraine to choose their child (ren). Both
parents are required to travel for one trip. You will begin a 3-4
weeks trip to Ukraine about 2-5 months after your Ukraine
adoption dossier submitted to State Department for Adoption
(SDA) in Kiev. Your Ukraine adoption process in Ukraine begins
in Kiev. There you will visit the State Department for Adoption
(SDA).Then you will travel to the region where the child lives to
spend sometime with the child. Once in the region, you can
review the child's medical information and any available family
history. After meeting a child personally, you will sign all
required papers, and Ukranian coordinator will file the
necessary paperwork to the court. If you decide to adopt the
child, court proceedings will usually begin within a week.
Ukrainian associates will take care of the child’s paperwork,
accompany you to your child’s physical examination, and will
assist you in getting a US visa for your child. Once a visa
received, families are ready to return home.

UKRAINE ADOPTION | UKRAINE ADOPTION PROCESS

The uniqueness of the
Ukraine Adoption
program is that
adoptive parents are
able to choose the child
they wish to adopt
while in Ukraine.

The State Department for
Adoption and Protection of
Rights of the Child
(SDAPRC) does not send
“referral” or match a child
to the parents or in any
court to adopt the child.
Information about medical
histories of the children
and other pertinent
information will be
available at the orphanage
during selection of the
children.

State Department for
of the Rights of the
Child resumed
acceptance of new
adoption applications
from U.S. citizens.

On February 25, 2007
the Decree #313, issued
by Minister for Family,
Youth and Sports Victor
Korzh, became effective.
This Decree approves
the Decree #313, issued
by State Department for
Adoption and Protection
of Rights of the Child
(SDAPRC). Read More
