What are the advantages to adopting from Ukraine?
Adoptions from Ukraine are very attractive for several very good reasons. • You are allowed to select the child(ren) you will adopt at the State Department of Adoptions (SDA) in Kiev, the capitol of Ukraine. This is a very empowering freedom for many families. • Ukrainian officials are very flexible accepting a very wide variety of families including single women. There are no fixed requirements for age of parent, income, number of children already in your family, your health, etc. Each family is considered on a case by case basis with most families being easily approved. Note – Ukraine recently considered and rejected new regulations that would restrict adoption by singles and older parents. These families should consider moving swiftly if they would like to adopt from Ukraine as this legislation may be reconsidered in the future. • You adoption is normally completed in a single trip to Ukraine. The trip normally lasts four to six weeks. This is a much easier process than can be found
