The eye-opener for you - Official statistics of SDA


Hi, everyone. I have just read posts in yahoo group "Adoption from Ukraine" about people who come back from Ukraine without a child. And that Ukraine is unpredictable. I disagree because information about adoption in Ukraine is open. And state authorities including SDA in most cases do not distort it. Of course all official information is in Ukrainian or Russian language and I agree that it is hard for you to find actual information in English.

And now please look through this official SDA statistics for the 1st quarter of 2008:

The number of foreigners received: 379
178 of them (46%) selected and adopted child during the first visit.
201 of them (54%) have applied for the second visit.

The reasons of the second applications of the foreigners:
• Couldn’t select a child during the first visit because of inconsistence of state of health of the child with expectations of candidates – 82 (41%)
• Had selected a child during the first visit but refused from adoption because of state of health of the child – 119 (59%)

So, you see, this situation is not a secret. Just take it in your consideration.
