Dear rbates: So sorry to hear of your disappointment. I know of three couples in Ukraine right now who are successfully adopting in that age range: one couple getting girl age 8 and boy age 6; second couple getting boy and girl, aged 6 to 8, and third couple getting 3 girls, aged 7, 9, and 11. Sometimes you get more (and better!)choices if you are looking for a sibling group!

My husband and I have been here in the Ukraine since 3/16/09. We are looking for a child age 5 to 8 but were shown only 4 children age 4 with serious health issues. We have seen children at orphanages in our age range but have learned that they are not adoptable by foreign couples. Several couples were turned away by an orphanage, others have been here for long periods of time waiting for appointments. Outlook is not promising and we will be leaving here without a child.

I am getting conflicting reports — does anyone know if your social worker who prepares the homestudy has to be with a licensed agency or simply a licensed (certified) social worker approved by the state? If we have to go with a licensed agency, our fee is going to double. We love our social worker & don’t want to change horses in mid-stream!

What is the latest on Ukraine not accepting dossiers as of 1/12/09?We
were delayed by INS misplacing papers and now this? We are hoping for a girl under 6 without major medical problems(we are 51 and 50)Getting a little nervous with process. Have been reading that there are no children available without major medical problems..Is this same with Russia adoptions?

No, the initial judge was in favor of the adoption, but the prosecutor was determinted that I was unable to handle 3 children and that I could not get around the 45 year age difference by not including my husband on the application. I will look at your consulting online service. Thanks, Tammy

Yes, I had such cases. (I’m the Ukrainian consultant for the international adoption). But you don’t have to be scared by the prosecutor appeal, because the final decision must be taken by the judge and in case of the negative decision of the court of the first instance you can apply to the court of appeal.
