Are you eligible to adopt from Ukraine?


You have right to adopt a child from Ukraine if you are simultaneously:

  1. capable person
  2. not younger than 21
  3. at last 15 years older than an adopting child
  4. married
  5. have permanent source of revenue
  6. have a habitation
  7. not being treated for psycho neurological disease or narcotic dependence


In April 2008 the Family Code of Ukraine was amended so that it is prohibited to adopt children by foreigners that are unmarried.

So if you are single and want to adopt a child Ukraine is not your choice.

The same concerns to homosexual couples, because unisexual couples are also not allowed to be adopters.
