Hi,
Please note that the Ukrainian parliament is voting June 2 on a proposal to impose a moratorium on international adoption, with exceptions made only for families adopting relatives or countries that have bilateral treaties with Ukraine on adoption. I do not know if the US as such a treaty with Ukraine, but I suspect not.

p.s. A lot of independent facilitators work in Ukraine - most state officials and NGOs there seem to view adoption agencies negatively, as commercializing the exchange and commodifying children (they refer to them as "commercial structures").
