The President of Ukraine Viktor Yushchenko issued an edict “On conducting in Ukraine in 2008 the Year of supporting national adoption and other forms of fosterage of orphans and children without parental care” dated 11 of December, 2007.
The main purpose of this document is to support Ukrainians who wish to adopt a child. From here on the adoption process for Ukrainians became simpler. Moreover Ukrainian families who adopted a child receive the public assistance in the amount of 12000 UAH. For most Ukrainians it is significant amount. Also Ukrainian government takes measures to explain Ukrainian citizens the adoption process. So Ukrainian actually does not need any facilitators or agencies. Therefore such steps cause increasing interest of Ukrainians to adoption.
What does it mean for foreigners?
In 2008 to adopt from Ukraine for foreigners became harder. You may see statistics in my previous post. But do not despair! Ukraine will ratify in the near future convention on international adoption and the situation should definitely change for better.
In my next posts I will continue telling about latest changes in adoption process in Ukraine.
