Minmolodsport has amended its order No.313. "The procedure of accepting the documents of foreigners wishing to adopt a child". The name of this act was changed into the followoing: "On the procedure and terms of reception of Ukrainian citizens living abroad and foreigners desiring adopt a child in Ukraine in order to file their dossiers".
In result of several changes the adoption procedure for Ukrainians living abroad is now the same as for foreiners.
It is very controvercial and stupied desicion because Ukrainians have more rights in adoption procedure under the Family Code of Ukraine.
For example, SDA do not have information about children younger than 1 year old. Hence, Ukrainians living abroad are not able to adopt healthy children under 1 y.o.
