On 27 January 2009 in Ukrainian Parliament was registered a bill on changes in Family Code of Ukraine regarding adoption procedure. The Author of the bill is deputy Eduard Pavlenko.
It is proposed to cancel age limits for adoptive parents by the bill No. 3657. Today persons who are older than a child more than by 45 years can’t adopt from Ukraine. The deputy proposes not to limit the age of adopters and to allow adopting children by persons who may older than the child by 45 years.
This age limits were implemented by the Law “On amending some of statutory act of Ukraine regarding adoption” dated as of 10 April 2008. It is the author’s opinion that this age limit circumscribes persons that are 46 in adopting newborns. More over this age limit prohibits from adoption if one of the couple is older than it is required by legislation. The deputy thinks that this prejudice rights of persons who are willing to adopt a child and understand all difficulties that they possibly may face by the child’s upbringing.
