Parents should research this adoption option thoroughly before moving forward.Children Available: Children age 18 months and older, primarily living in orphanages. Younger children with special needs are available. Many sibling groups are also available. The children are generally Caucasian. 

Parent Qualification: Married couples only may adopt from the Ukraine. The maximum age difference between adoptive parents and adopted children cannot exceed 45 years. Exception may be made in age of adoptive parents for older and special needs children. 

Timeline: The time from the completion of the dossier to travel is approximately 5 months.

 Travel: Two options are available to complete your adoption travel to Ukraine:

Two trips: First of approximately 2-3 weeks with both parents present and the second trip of 1 week. Only one parent is required on the second trip.

One trip. One 5- 6 weeks trip in which one parent may return home after the court hearing. The other parent must stay in Ukraine for the complete adoption process.
