Ukrainian Adoption Information
- In Ukraine the only officials
permitted by law to show referrals or give any information
on children is the National Adoption Center of Ukraine.
- You will be able to personally
choose your child(ren)in Ukraine. This is done on the same
trip you adopt. This means that you can personally meet and
bond with our child before adopting. When you go to the Adoption
Center you tell them what age,sex etc. children you are looking
for and then they give you clearance to go to the orphanage
where those children are available. You are not guaranteed
that an age range or sex will be available when you get there,
but you can return to the adoption center to explore another
orphanage if you don't find your child in the first one.
- Since you are adopting independent
you can control the speed and choose when you travel.
- There is no waiting list at the
Adoption Center, when you are cleared (10days after receiving
your translated paperwork) you can go!!!!And your child(ren)
will be waiting for you.
- Technically
children are put on the registry at around 14-16 months. It
is possible to get younger, but they will have medical conditions
listed. Most medical conditions are fixable and many are
terribly misdiagnosed. This is the norm for foreign adoptions,
you really need to evaluate for yourself
