Ukraine is a Former Soviet Union country located
in central Europe with varying regions and
climates. Americans have recently fallen in love
with the Ukraine’s adoption system, in which you
personally select your child after meeting and
interacting with them and watching them interact
with their peer group.
The number of parents adopting from Ukraine has
climbed steadily in the past year and is fast
becoming one of the most popular countries
participating in International Adoptions. Our
agency works with many regions of Ukraine where
you go to personally select your child. The
majority of children in the Ukraine are
available due to a lack of income in the birth
family, not negligence or abuse on their part.
Sibling groups are available, however you can no
longer adopt unrelated children at the same
time.
We have local facilitators in Ukraine who will
ensure that all adoption related activities are
completed smoothly.
Please visit our Ukraine "Children Home" page to
see some of our beautiful ABW children who have
been adopted from Ukraine.
We will be happy to refer you to some of our
already-returned families who are open to
sharing their experiences regarding Ukraine
adoption with prospective adoptive parents
