About the Children:
The children available are
of both genders and are mainly over 14 months who have being
relinquished by their parents, usually because they were
unable to support him or her. Older children and sibling
groups, and occasionally twins are also available. The children
generally have light complexions with lighter hair and eyes.
During the adoption process, children are in orphanages
that are clean, loving, and run by medical doctors.
Eligibility:
This program is open to married
couples only. There is no requirement for length of marriage.
Ukraine is also flexible when it comes to the age of the
adopting parents. Proof of infertility is not required.
The Ukraine program is also extremely open regarding adopting
parents' health. However, the only disability that is definitely
not accepted by the Ukraine government is that an adoptive
parent cannot be in a wheelchair. This is because the parents
must travel to Ukraine to finalize the adoption, and Ukraine
is not at all handicapped accessible.
Procedures
& Time Frame: After
your home study is complete, it takes approximately one
month to authenticate all of your documents for your dossier.
After your dossier is sent to Ukraine, it takes approximately
five (5) months for you to be called to travel to Ukraine
to meet a child and finalize the adoption.
Medical:
Medical doctors run all of
the orphanages in Ukraine. While in the orphanages, children
will receive medical care and testing. The children will
all be tested for HIV, Hepatitis, Tuberculosis, and Syphilis,
as well as many other illnesses.
Travel:
Adoptive families should
plan on traveling to Ukraine for approximately 4 weeks.
This will provide you with all of the time you need to meet
your child and accept the adoption. Both parents need to
be present in court for the first court appearance. After
the court hearing, one of the parents may go back to the
US after visiting the U.S. Embassy in Kiev and filing a
necessary paperwork.
Total Adoption
Expense: Estimated costs
are $16,000, excluding travel and out-of-pocket expenses.
