Adoption Process : Families must complete a dossier and obtain INS approval prior to travel. Following submission of paperwork to the adoption center in Kiev, families may soon travel to Ukraine to locate a child or children to adopt. Families wishing to adopt older children may travel immediately upon submitting paperwork.
Travel : One trip of approximately 3-4 weeks. Families will visit the adoption center to request a referral of a child. Once the family located the child/children they wish to adopt, they may appear in court to finalize the adoption. Both parents must travel, though one parent may be able to leave after court.
Timeframe : The process typically takes 6 - 12 months from start to finish.
