Ukraine

Children Available:
Healthy, male and female infants 12 months of age, toddlers and older children up to sixteen year and sibling groups.

Travel Requirements:
After the dossier has been completed, sent and registered in Ukraine, the parents will receive an invitation. The adoptive family will travel to Ukraine and choose a child from the data bank. You will then be taken to that orphanage and will interact with that child so that you are certain that this is the child for you. If not, we will go back to the data bank as many times as needed to locate the right child for you. After you have chosen a child the court proceedings will occur in the city that the child is located in and the parents must appear in court. There is an appeal time of 10 days. The parents can ask the judge to waive that appeal time and go direct to finish the adoption. However, if the judge does not waive the appeal time then the family has the choice os staying in Ukraine or returning to the USA. Only one parent needs to return for the visa appointment at the US Embassy in Kiev. If only one parent wants to come back for the child then they have to provide a good reason to the US Embassy in Kiev and notify the Embassy that there is only one parent will be returning for the child with Power of Attorney.

The length of process depends on the number of children that you visit in order to find the right child.
