Why consider Ukraine for an adoption?

-No adoptions finalized abroad can be reversed by birth families.

-Ukraine is generally quicker than other countries, it usually takes 6 months.

-No upper age limits, must be at least 25 years old.

-You are saving a life of a child. Unlike American children in the foster system, there are no state benefits available to an orphan living in the Ukraine when they are considered an adult at the young age of 16. They are given a small amount of money and are left to the streets where they usually turn to drugs and prostitution. A disabled child at the age of 4 is sent to an institution, where they will become malnourished, sedated, and sentenced to live a life out of a crib until they die. So many children receive the “disabled” label on a condition or syndrome that would normally yield a thriving and fully functioning life here in the United States- especially with our government-paid early intervention, and special education programs. This was the biggest motivator for us.
