ATTENTION! In accordance with Ukrainian law, the adoption of a child by foreigners or citizens of Ukraine residing abroad requires the consent of the National Social Service of Ukraine. During martial law, the National Social Service does not consider cases and does not issue consents/permits for the adoption of children by foreigners and citizens of Ukraine residing abroad. When the situation allows for the resumption of high-quality verification of the documents of foreign candidates for adoptive parents and the preliminary work required in the process of intercountry adoption, the Government of Ukraine will immediately inform the public and the competent authorities of foreign countries about the conditions and peculiarities of the resumption of intercountry adoption.
