There are several factors at play right now in Ukraine. The dep't. that handled adoptions has recently been shut down in order for the new dep't to start doing adoptions. The problem right now is that we don't know exactly when they will be up and running. I suspect it won't be a really long wait, just my personal opinion. The gov't is closed right now for their holidays, so we may not know anything for another week to several weeks.
Also, they are not accepting dossiers from Americans right now, unless it is for a child over 10 or a special needs child or if you have adopted in the past and are coming back for a sibling of your child. Supposedly, the US is missing many post placement reports from families that have adopted and until Ukraine receives the misssing reports, they won't accept any new dossiers unless it is for children as I described above.
If you have not started a dossier yet, I would wait a little while longer and I think within the next couple of months adoptions in Ukraine will be more clear.
Hope this helps. Good Luck!
