Adoption process resumes, finally

Ukraine President Yushchenko signed the law yesterday to give the National Adoption Center interim authority over adptions until the new unit is up and running on May 1. This means the adoption process can resume within a matter of days!

Families who were supposed to have appointments in January will be going in February, and all the others who are registered will be given appointments soon.

Those who haven't registered with the NAC already will have to wait, though, until they lift the restrictions when they are satisfied that families who already adopted have filed their periodical progress reports with the Ukraine Embassy.

This new law is welcoming news, to be sure, and it shows that their President may indeed be committed to finding homes for their wonderful, orphaned children with hopeful futures.

See Adoption News to the left for the full letter from the US Embassy.

If anyof the waiting couples read this blog, hang in there. Our prayers are with you. You are doing the right thing for your family and your hoped-for child. Keep at it. Nothing comes easy in this life, show them that you don't give up, keep pursuing the adoption you have dreamed of, wait and persevere, and draw that child into your hearts and into your family,... and onto a plane back home!!!!!
