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 required for a Dossier. Ukraine State Department
for Adoption (SDA) processes and approves your adoption
dossier. After receiving an invitation to travel, preparations are
made for the trip. Once everything is completed and approved,
families will travel to Ukraine to choose their child(ren). Both
parents are required to travel to meet the child(ren). You will
begin a 3-4 week trip to Ukraine about 2-5 months after your
Ukraine adoption dossier is 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). You will then travel to the
region where the child lives to spend time with the child. Once
in the region, you may review the child's medical information
and available family history. After meeting a child personally,
you will sign required papers, and Ukrainian coordinator will file
the necessary paperwork with 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 medical examination, and assist
in obtaining a US visa for your child. Once a visa is received,
families may return home.

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.
